a post by Guy Kawasaki, got me thinking... common sense dictates that 'those who cannot do, teach'. A gross generalization, that demeans many in the teaching profression. BUT... perfectly, legitamate in the realm of HowTo books/tapes/seminars, etc...
Example: "How to make a million in real estate" - answer: write a book called 'how to make a million in real estate'. and sell a few hundred thousand copies. Or tour the states and do high priced seminars aimed at unsatisfied daily-grinders.
My co-worker and I laugh about this scenario all the time. It seems ludicrous how many people claim to be able to teach us something that IF they could do themselves they certainly wouldn't be teaching it to us.
Which is why I subscribed to Guy Kawasaki's blog, he has already DONE IT and now he is blogging about it. I am a bit skeptical, but intrigued nonetheless. I've been hearing about this guy for years and now I'll get to see for myself. I will say that I am not impressed by people who worship at the alter of Apple. I won't go too deeply into this but don't get me wrong... I'd love a 12" powerbook, but I am a geek, and I like gadgets and there's are nice, but there are nicer... My hardware needs are more specific than they offer.
Oh how I'd love to dual boot my 17" Sony Vaio (1920x1200 screen), but that's another post.
