A Controlled Democratic Design Process Gets Every Cubical Involved
2009-05-26 19:46:00 I recently read a really insightful interview with the members of the Griffin product development group on how they go about creating their wonderful accessories for the iPhone and iPod. One comment, in particular, struck a chord: How does the process begin? TC: Regardless of where the idea originates, the front end of the process is wide open; any one at Griffin can pitch a new product idea by writing up a one-page concept summary and presenting it to the team in a weekly product development meeting. That group bats it around, beats it up and decides whether it has enough potential to warrant further exploration. TC: A great product idea can come from anywhere. We all use and love the technologies that we build products to support, so sometimes we're just creating solutions that let us use our iPods and iPhones to do the things that we want to do. We also interact constantly with our customers to learn about their needs and pain points. Other times, we find an exciting techn...

Arlen Specter Welcomed Into Democratic Party
2009-04-28 23:42:00 Pennsylvanian Republican Senator Arlen Specter will run for reelection as a Democrat in 2010. Â Specter's vote for the Obama stimulus package was the final straw to fiscal conservatives essential to winning the Republican primary in Pennsylvania. Â Senator Specter received "bleak polling" numbers from advisers he said Tuesday. Â Polls showed that he would likely loose a Republican primary to Pat Toomey. Â Specter barely survived a primary fight in 2004 against Toomey. Â A second run against Toomey in the primary would not be in Specter's best interests.Specter told the media that Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Ed Rendell promised Specter he would not need to raise money if he ran as a Democrat. Â Democrats were silently ecstatic on Tuesday. Â Jumping on the inside Democratic Leader Harry Reid said now was "not the time to gloat."RNC Leader Michael Steele of course called Specter's move one of personal career protection and not of personal beliefs. Â Steele obviously trying to d...

MSM helps reinforce Democratic Party discipline,Rewards Republicans who Bre
2009-02-16 01:08:00 In January 1997 when I worked on Captiol Hill and Newt Gingrich was up for a second term as Speaker of the House, we received word in our office that one TV network (as I recall it was NBC) would feature on its evening newscast (and/or its Sunday talk show) any Republican member who voted against the Georgian’s reelection. In other words, the supposedly unbiased network would reward any dissension from GOP unity with free air time. As I read Jim Hoft’s post on what he terms the “Double Cross” of the three Republican Senators who voted for the Democrat’s spendthrift “stimulus” package, I wonder if  the prospect of favorable media treatment impacted their decision to buck their party (and their principles).  By turning on their own party, Republicans almost always earn the accolades of an otherwise hostile (to Republicans) news media. No wonder, as Jim observes: At those critical moments, when Democrats need party discipline, they are unani...

White Democratic Racism Could Cost Democrats A Victory In November
2008-09-20 20:00:00 I just saw this disturbing new report by AP - Yahoo which explains that there's enough racism from Whites in the Democratic Party to possibly cause Democrats to lose the election. It's hard to read, but it's there. And it addresses issues I've tackled this entire election. What has to be communicated is this: racism is a mental illness, and this is a great example of why. Some people who are White, would rather cut off their nose than pick the person from their own party to win an election just because he has brown skin. Repeat that. Repeat it again. Say it one more time. If that describes you and you're reading this, do us all a favor: vote Democrat, then see a doctor to get help solving your problem. I'm sorry I don't have anything kind to say, but a little truth is in order -- that's a nutso way to think.
