Fresh college grad turned management consultant.  I come from a background in economics and computer science.  I blog in my spare time  about 3 major themes:

  • Strategy & structure
  • Technology & design
  • Telecom & media

I believe there is no such thing as an interesting fact; there are only interesting ideas.  In every entry I try to introduce at least one idea, and will never report just plain news.

Keep in mind that the content here is unrelated to my profession.  I invite you to read with an open mind and definitely to challenge the thinking!

I’m am so underwhelmed by CushyCMS, the much-hyped CMS system launched just today in limited beta. CushyCMS essentially does 1 thing: provide a web-interface to automate the process of repeatedly downloading/uploading source files via FTP, but it could be doing so much more!

CushyCMS could provide the first true WYSIWYG editing experience: by scraping the server output before rendering an editing overlay onto defined editable regions within the browser.  That is WYSIWYG at it’s best: not only do you see your work rendered in a real browser engine, you can even see any dynamic output! (granted, the dynamic output wouldn’t be editable for obvious reasons)  This is especially useful when sites use simple templating systems to render otherwise conceptually static pages.

Otherwise, CushyCMS deserves a cake for being directionally correct…give or take 45°.

God bless PHP, MySQL, and the hours between 2AM-5AM.

Glowing blue stripes are from an Opera skin called Mirage. Original b&w photo of Chicago found here. Water droplets background modifed from this.

For everything else there's Photoshop.
