El Jobso or El Jobsno?
Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin, on TechCrunch about Management 101 2010
“…that a startup can be almost as individual and coherent as a work of art, not simply in what it makes but in and of itself, how it runs, who it is”
Love this.

Industry Vet, Todd Burt, passes away.
I wish this was a joke. I’ve personally spent some fun times with Todd. He will be missed.
Todd Burt passed away last Friday in his sleep. He was a very good friend and good business partner who helped Clareity Security build from our very first customer. Todd made a bunch of friends in the MLS industry during his tenure with Secure Computing (now McAfee). Kevin and I used to call him “Blue” from the movie Old School as “You’re my boy, Blue! You’re my boy!” – who knew he would be gone from this world at the young age of 42.
A fund has been set up in memory of Todd F. Burt for his dear son Jack (Johnathon) Todd Burt. You can deposit into this UTAM account at any Chase Manhattan Bank, under the name of Jack Todd Burt. This fund has been specifically set up for Jack’s future needs and education. You may also mail donations directly to Heather Meikle made payable to Jack Todd Burt to the following address- 6014 173rd PL SW Lynnwood WA 98037.

Marketlinx Tempo MLS system now works with all browsers, including Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome.
Engineers at Marketlinx were stunned to learn that people used other browsers than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. They were also flabbergasted to discover the popularity of Macs.
“They don’t let us out much” stated a Marketlinx developer who asked not to be identified. The fix took a matter of “seconds” according to another engineer, (also who refused to be identified) “Honestly, I thought Apple went out of business” he added later.
John Hensley, Chief Product and Technology Officer of LPS Real Estate Group, announces switch to 4 day work week for LPS staff.
“This is something that I felt needed to be done.” stated John Hensley from LPS Real Estate Group‘s Irvine headquarters. “I feel we are just working our employees, especially our developers, far far too much.” continued Mr. Hensley.
“And I will promise to lead this effort by example.” concluded Mr. Hensley
Mr. Hensley also stated that “launch bonuses” would be given to developers any time a new implementation was launched. “We need to reward them more for their efforts.”

Phone calls and meetings are riddled with uncomfortable pauses and vague sarcasm. Joel Burslem completely unaware, thinks he’s to blame.
