Recap: My favourite Tech IT Easy posts for June 2009
It’s around that time again. First of all, I’d again like to note that I am, for the moment, the producer of 99% of the junk, eh, I mean Gold that appears before your eyes on Tech IT Easy. So, for the moment, these are favourite posts that I wrote.
If you are interested in contributing to Tech IT Easy, either as a blogger or guest writer, please write to us!
This month, I’d like to thank Georgia for writing about guerrilla marketing. Last month, I forgot to thank Jeremy for publishing his interview with social marketeer, Michelle Greer, and Georgia, for writing about Mint.com.
Let’s get to the favourites (in no particular order):
- The “captain’s chair” phenomenon, in which I identify a problem that many one-person-companies-growing-into-SMEs face, the centralisation of leadership around the founder, and the lack of processes that facilitate delegation. Expect more posts about this.
- A short guide for surviving Windows [aimed at Mac-users], in which in a series of a few posts, I start discussing how to survive that “traumatic” move. While I have certainly managed to, I am now happily back on my Mac at work. Even so, I am writing this post on Windows Live Writer, through Parallels (it’s what I call an anchor-app, something that ties you to an environment). Related: Awakening from the OS X vs. Windows War and Battles in the Virtualization Space.
- Media’s Basic Duty to tell the Truth (P.S. Blogs are not Media), in which I, again in a series of posts, defend Techcrunch’s reputation, in regards to their accusation towards Last.fm. My premise: blogs (like ours) are not media, but some professional blogs, like Techcrunch, have become its equivalent and thus (have to) respect the same principle of reporting the news as accurately and honestly. I don’t want to generalise though, I think that Arrington’s posts in particular, can be much too emotional, provocative, and definitely more blog than pro-media.
- Where do Good Ideas come from?, in which I propose four areas and write about the ease of implementing these ideas. Two supplement posts: On having Heroes in your Craft and The Right Mix between Idea and Execution and One reason not to blog (at least not to blog about your plans) (I sure do blog a lot about idea generation…
). - What would an Always-On Device look like? Do we even want it?, which comes down to that I would like a device that records everything that I do, in whatever format needed. Some complications: a. do we even want it? How would we process the information? I think that suitable devices already exist, from your camera phone to more specialised and expensive methods.
That’s it for this month. May’s recap can be found here. Until the next time, on Tech IT Easy.
Vincent

We -the silent audience of this blog- would like to thank you and the others for your time and energy you spend here.
Tbh im not really a business or technology geek (dont let my nick delude you) but it was a pleasant surprise for me to find out that this blog is really interesting and that TIE isnt too hardcore but can be easily read by anyone who has an average iq and attracted by a variety of subjects.
I really like to follow yours and others posts here many months now.
Dont assume there arent others like me who just read silently(the world is full of us hehe). Besides that we just arent that bright to analyse, develop a thought and and finally express it in the way you guys do, we are also shy.
cheers
ps. I wanted to write something like this couple of weeks now but as i said we are shy
Thanks man (or woman), that was a very nice comment to read. And no need to be shy, seriously, the more multi-way communication we have, the smarter we all become.
Take care,
Vincent
