    The Top Ten Lessons My Dad Taught Me

    http://www.blognosh.com/2008/12/the-top-ten-lessons-my-dad-t...

    {Originally published on Dadomatic.} My dad is a great dad. He indelibly shaped my personality, mores, and outlook in life. Now that I am a dad too, I appreciate what he did even more. It wasn’t easy to narrow them down, but these the top ten lessons that he taught me. 1.  Don’t take any shiitake from anyone. My dad was a state senator for twenty years, and he never walked away from a confrontation with the local newspapers, labor unions, and government officials. He taught me not to kowtow to anyone just because they are in lofty positions. This is a very useful attitude because if people sense that you don’t take any shiitake, they won’t give you any. 2. Obey your teachers. My dad taught me that teachers knew more than I did so I should treat them with respect. This was a rare exception to the “don’t take shiitake from anyone” lesson. Come to find out, (a) teachers very seldom dish out shiitake, and (b) they truly change the world (and not for the money), so they (c) deserve truckloads of respect. 3. Don’t follow the crowd. Initially, I thought that he was saying that most people were stupid–and I agreed with him. But I now realize that he was telling me not to follow the crowd because the crowd “mentality” can make smart people do dumb things. This is why I don’t believe in the “wisdom of the crowd” to this day. 4. Show some noblesse oblige. My dad was very big on the concept that people who are fortunate (in terms of power, prestige, or money) have the moral obligation to be kind, help others, and even answer their emails. By far, this is the most difficult lesson to implement if lots of people want something from you, but as my father taught me, you just have to deal with it. 5. Read. My dad taught me to love to read. We had hundreds of books around our house, and he bought me any book that I wanted. With his encouragement, I also spent hundreds hours in the public library too. This love of reading led to a love of doing research (in those days, in the World Book Encyclopedia!) and eventually to a love of writing. 6. Speak loudly and slowly. My dad attended many of my speeches, and he regularly reminded me to speak more slowly and more loudly. I may be failing him in this regard because I still speak with a rapid pace. However, my Countryman E6i has solved the volume issue. 7.  Dress up when you speak. My dad believed that you should always dress up when you speak to an audience no matter how the audience dressed. To do any less is to communicate that you don’t respect the audience and take it seriously. If you see me speak in an Aloha shirt, you should understand that it is an Anne Namba Aloha shirt, and she makes the best Aloha shirts in the world. 8. Take full odds on the pass line. At one level, this refers to how to bet when shooting craps. Casinos pay the “odds” at the correct probability–it’s the only bet where the casino has no advantage. There are also two deeper lessons: know exactly what you’re up against and don’t make sucker bets. 9.  Buy the best. My father was a Nikon man. He had a Hasselblad for a while, but he loved his Nikons. He’d go to Akihabara and bring them back all time. To this day, I use a Nikon because of this early imprint. The deeper lesson is to buy the best that you can afford, and you won’t regret it. 10.   Be a mensch. This is the most important lesson of all. My father didn’t use the word “mensch.” He actually said, “Show some class.” The two are the same because a mensch is someone who is trustworthy, honest, kind, and classy. He doesn’t dish out shiitake–unless it’s necessary anyway. Editors Pick from Amy of Doobleh-vay. Guy Kawasaki is the co-founder of Alltop and a partner of Garage Technology Ventures. He is the former chief evangelist of Apple. He seems to know just about everyone and knows exactly what is cool. Yet, he is also a very nice guy and a cool papa. I had the pleasure of meeting Guy this year and he is a warm and generous man who deserves all his success! Check out his blog and follow him on twitter.

    Nikon D90 Unboxing Photos: Furthering the Genre

    http://touchingharmstheart.com/?p=539

    The geeky phenomenon of “unboxing” - a shot-by-shot photodiary of the act of unpackaging new high-tech products - is at best somewhat unsettling and at worst stultifyingly dull. But this series, recounting the unwrapping of a new Nikon D90, brings the genre to new heights! Lighting, color, composition, and a spazz-out background - it’s all there. No need for the D90, my friend. These shots are already rocking my world! >> How to Change the World: Unboxing a Nikon D90

    Is Guy Kawasaki Guilty of Link Payola

    http://seopro.blogtanker.com/1103/is-guy-kawasaki-guilty-of-...

    I like Guy Kawasaki, I really do, I don’t always agree with him, but I do think he’s a smart man, and a thought leader in the space. That said I do think it pretty unfair that the A-List bloggers in the space get “free gifts” in exchange for blogging about them and Google’s Black […] I like Guy Kawasaki, I really do, I don’t always agree with him, but I do think he’s a smart man, and a thought leader in the space. That said I do think it pretty unfair that the A-List bloggers in the space get “free gifts” in exchange for blogging about them and Google’s Black Angel of Paid Linking Death never pays them a visit. So sit back and watch as I present my evidence and make my case in Nikon D90 link payola incident. On September 7th Guy posted an unboxing post about the new Nikon D90 Camera. In his post he mentions in a subtle way that the camera was given to him by Ritz Camera and the 6sight Future of Imaging conference. Nikon just released the D90. This is the first digital SLR that can shoot movies (as far as I know, anyway)–now you don’t have to carry a digital SLR and a video camera. How cool is that?! My buddies at Ritz Camera and the 6sight Future of Imaging conference made this possible. Click here to buy one from Ritz Camera. Incidentally, I’ll be the first to admit that these aren’t the greatest shots–I had no idea product shots are so much harder than people shots. For those of you wondering the camera has a retail of $1299 from Ritz Camera. Think this a fluke, and a one off occurrence, let me go all Columbo on you, and point you in the direction of an amazon kindle post, video and this post on Honda Fit. If you might have been sleeping in math class in high school, when there are three or more data points that line up, that’s what we call a trend. So Google Engineers, if Guy kawasaki is accepting $1300 cameras in exchange for posts, can we expect you to nuke his PR and rankings the same way you did to pay per post. Is his linking scheme, any less illicit? (That’s google’s definition not mine). Sure I can hear some of you saying, Gray what’s up with you, you’ve been around the block long enough to know that’s how Public Relations people work, they give celebrities (real life celebrities or fake web celebrities) free gifts in exchange for the wearing, using, mentioning, or writing about their product in a newspaper articles, magazines, or blog posts. Of course I know that’s how it’s been done in the past, and how it will continue to get done in the future. What needs to happen is Google needs come up with a fair and equally applied policy and stick to it, because the two tiered caste system we have now isn’t working … unless you’re on the “let them eat cake” side of the argument … and we all know how that turned out … For anyone interested here’s a detailed explanation on how to report paid links if you want to clue Google into this violation of their guidelines … PS: Don’t be one of those kooky nit pickers who says the pay per post people were getting cash, not merchandise, and it’s not technically the same. I believe in following the rules in the spirit with which they where created, and not getting by on a technicality (which is one of the reasons I dislike lawyers so much). However if Google is going to say that it’s perfectly ok to do it in exchange for products, I’ll be off to start a products for posts service this afternoon … Need SEO help with your website, look at my SEO Consulting Services Related Posts Guy Kawasaki The Blogger I’ll shamefully admit to not knowing who Guy Kawasaki was a week ago, but I hafta say h… Elite Retreat Scores Guy Kawasaki Jeremy announced today that they got Guy Kawasaki on the Elite Retreat panel for San Francisco, nice… Guy Kawasaki Video I’m glad the whole Guy Kawasaki blog fiasco got cleared up, because if it wasn’t I’d have missed a v… Guy Kawasaki Social Media Panel Does Guy Kawasaki Need Marketing and Branding Help?
