Unhyping Gartner’s Hype Cycle, Part 2.
Humor July 22nd, 2010
Here’s Part 1. The reason I’m doing it again is that Michael Krigsman just published the Wailgum Hype Cycle:
Not bad. Still a bit complex. Me thinks the simplified, geekified, scobleized, oprahized, too-oh-ized version of the Gartner Hype Cycle still works:
And if it doesn’t – well, it’s almost Friday. In fact for some of our readers it already is

SAP Business ByDesign Video – Plain and Simple, Making Fun of …Wow, ERP!
Enterprise Software, SaaS July 18th, 2010
We’re just having an intense internal debate in the Enterprise Irregulars group whether SAP’s Business ByDesign (ByD) is late to the market and what it all means, when hot off the press here’s a promotional video, that’s not so much ByD advertising but a SMB / SME SaaS 101, and a very good one at that (now, that was a mouthful of acronyms
).
Ironically, the video makes fun of the Big Ugly Beast, ERP – which happens to be SAP’s bread and butter. (Hey, I’ve long been saying SAP should have copied a chapter from Larry Ellison’s book, invest in a SMB Startup and let it grow independently…)
Hat tip for the video: Timo Elliot.

That’s not Email

This Reminds Me of My Old Boss (Dilbert)
Humor, Personal Productivity July 6th, 2010
At least the ‘write down part’. His process for dealing with email was:
- Have Assistant print and fax email to whichever hotel he was staying in
- Make handwritten notations on fax, ask hotel to fax it back to his Assistant
- Assistant would then type it as email using his account
The whole process would take only 3 days or so …except when the fax had to be forwarded to another hotel since he had already moved on.
Oh, btw, he was a VP at a very big, very hi-tech company

Ungrateful iBozos, Stop the Whining. Get a (i)Life.
Humor June 16th, 2010
<sarcasm>
I’m sick of all this whining within the iFamily. These iBozos just don’t appreciate all the goodness they have.
iPhone preorder systems failed. So what? You’ve just saved a boatload of money, be happy, get a life!
Yet another At&T security breach. What’s the big deal? All your data is public anyway, has been for a while, will always be so, so STFU.
Orders Charged and Sent to the Wrong People – and Gizmodo has the balls to call it a disaster. They don’t understand the Grand Scheme. Have you ever been to a potluck party? You bring some, get some (or not). Random credit cards get charged and iPhones get delivered to random people – so what? On the average it all works out, everyone receives an iPhone (or not). We’re all part of iFamily.
MG Siegler Wants a Micro-Cell Rip-Off Box – WTF? To actually waste time making calls? Voice calls are so 90’s anyway. He should pay extra to AT&T for providing such a valuable time-saver plan.
I’m fed up with these unfaithful, ungrateful iWhiners. They should be happy to be admitted to the iChurch and shut up. At least while on AT&T
