1.	Now the big companies, Microsoft, IBM, Sun, Oracle, etc, see the world one way, one which I don't understand or want to understand. I made a choice early in my career not to be a company man. I like to create cool stuff and sell it, but I don't fit in at big companies, I don't even like them.
2.	I like the Internet because it always seems to screw with the BigCo's plans for world domination. It's like Bugs Bunny or the Roadrunner cartoon characters. The Internet is always too fast and nimble to ever really get captured and eaten by Elmer Fudd or Wile E. Coyote, although in the middle of each episode it *looks* like it's all over.
3.	I've learned this much, when a BigCo tells you that they "get" the Internet, what they really mean is they think they've figured out how to own the Internet. And so we go around the loop one more time.
