Like player coaches, tech CTOs should know how to code
They seem as anachronistic as helmetless hockey players, the no-dunking rule and bullpen carts. But the player-coach was once a familiar figure in pro sports. Bill Russell and Lenny Wilkens in the NBA. Curly Lambeau and George Halas in football. The first six World Series were won by guys who filled out the lineup card and also were on it.

How emerging tech can solve ad desensitization
Advertising has lost sight of a very basic concept: The pleasure principle. In the "golden days," the 1960s and 1970s, colorful creative in a full-page spread was enough to create buzz — and that's not just Mad Men nostalgia talking.

Harry Jaffa Explains Sanders, Trump, and Campus Craziness
(Steven Hayward) One of the more head-scratching phenomena of this election is the independent voters in open primary states who tell journalists and pollsters that they are undecided between Trump and Sanders.

The common appeal of these disparate men is chalked up to their "Jacksonian" appeal, that is, the
