Buster Benson, the Developer of 750Words.com

May 26th, 2010 — 7:59am

Buster Benson has made a web app I absolutely adore. It’s not just a piece of software that simplifies a task like hydraulics give us power steering and power brakes–both of which I’m grateful for. Benson’s 750Words.com literally is making me a better man. And I feel guilty for having slumps where I can’t or don’t get to my daily entry.

Click through to read Benson’s “eat your own dogfood” testimony on his blog, and if you haven’t taken the challenge yet, perhaps the author/developer’s personal reflection will challenge you to do so.

Why is Business Writing So Awful?

May 4th, 2010 — 9:54pm

Jason Fried nails it. Businesses that are in business to make money while making us stupid aren’t businesses worth doing business with. I think this is one of my biggest frustrations with the business world–that there’s too much fear of offending customers, and too much “spreadsheet thinking” that governs the decisions that dehumanize the marketplace and leave if void of interesting thought and personality. I think the desire for the types of companies that Fried uses as examples in this article will trump generic, big business in significant ways in the years ahead.
