The largest Kindle ever... DXXL
Just a little light reading this morning over coffee. I’m about to take this on the road for some ultra-mobile data collection - really looking forward to getting my fists on that QWERTY XL keyboard!
Steve Blank strikes again!
I find myself thinking that a lot. But I could also have titled this post: “Randomly blogged thoughts on another blog that I read”…

From the Customer Development guru, talking about Marketing being essentially a sales support organization (I gasp and read on…):
GITA 2009: Map data for free (or fee)?
Back in August of 2008, I thought I’d be a hotshot and volunteer an idea for a talk at the GITA Infrastructure 2009 conference. I didn’t know much about the provision of map data - from the government or elsewhere - but figured nine months would be more than enough time to educate myself and stumble upon the A-HA moment: the catharsis when (Eureka!) everything would become clear and the answer would be obvious.
Nonsense! The question of government-provided map data is more tangled up than that basket of yarn I bought at a yard sale seven years ago when I was considering taking up knitting. (I bought a cat instead.)
It’s a polarizing topic with global policy and socio-economic implications, and I would certainly do it a disservice trying to be remotely thorough within a 45 minute session.
Fast forward to April 22nd, 2009. Sweaty palms, fluttery stomach, and sixteen slides consisting merely of somewhat related, mildly amusing pictures (directive: minimum boredom, maximum retention).
