Really Getting Things Done
The Graphing Calculator Story is a fabulous read, but this is the sentence that I want to read over and over again:Making software that is simultaneously easy to learn, easy to use, friendly, useful, and powerful takes people with an incredible combination of skills, talent, and artistry working together with intensity and patience.

Webinar is not a word
Note to marketing and sales people: "Webinar" is not a real word. Putting that aside, it just doesn't sound good. It doesn't roll off the tongue. It doesn't make me say "Oh, man, these guys are cool! A Webinar? What'll they think of next?!"
"Web seminar" is fine. Sounds like it might actually have substance. Or, simply, "on-line presentation". It gets the job done. You don't need cutesy words to attract customers: you need actual, useful content.
