I’m Reading…John gave a great presentation today at Stanford about Mozilla. He’s graciously shared it on Slideshare, so I’m sharing it here as well.
A few bullets to think about:
How distributed is the decision making in your organization, really? How much do you empower small, cross-functional teams to execute?
How much does your organization really encourage active discussion, [...]

Got to be careful what I say here. Mike Schroepfer might be reading.
Actually, I was reading his blog when I found out that Firefox 3 Beta 3 is out. You can download it here.
I’m playing the naive user for now… just installed it and using it, without reading up on the specifics of [...]

From John’s blog:
It goes without saying that I’m excited by the challenge of my new job. I’ve thought an awful lot about the role of MoCo (our shorthand for the Corporation) in supporting the Mozilla mission and manifesto, as the coordination point for our work on the platform and on Firefox. We’ve got a lot [...]

StumbleUpon is more powerful than I first thought.
In case you haven’t tried it, StumbleUpon is a fairly unique new tool to help browse the web. It’s a toolbar that you can easily download and install in your browser (IE or Firefox). With it, you can easily vote “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” on [...]

OK, sensationalist title for some trivial pictures, but these were too good to pass up. Don Dodge posted some images from the recent Mix07 conference.

There is a lot of coverage today about the official unveiling of The Venice Project, now called Joost. You can easily do a search on Google News for Joost – I’m sure it will be in all of the papers tomorrow.
Joost is the latest and greatest attempt to bring high definition video to the [...]

I don’t normally do this, but my friend John Lilly featured a book on his blog that sounds extremely interesting. I’m going to pick up a copy myself, but I thought I’d let other people know about it here as well.
John’s post can be found here:

Nice post from Chad Alderson today about features he likes in Firefox 2.0.
Firefox 2 Owns
I’ve already posted about my favorite unsung feature in Firefox 2 – the ability to automatically recover all of your tabs in the case the computer or Firefox exits unexpectedly. It single-handedly saved me over 45 minutes of work [...]

I found this posting of the South Park episode 1008, Make Love, Not Warcraft today on Tony Chor’s blog.
Make Love, Not Warcraft
If you hate South Park, don’t bother clicking. There is nothing so redeeming about this episode to change your mind. But, if you are a fan of online gaming, you might just [...]

I’m a former Apple employee and Mac lover. So it’s not likely that you’d find me posting great things about Internet Explorer.
I’m a former developer, and so I’m predisposed to be a fan of open source projects in general, and Mozilla [...]
