  Moving your business? Have you thought of all the places to change your address? 

  When we moved MicroAssist, I thought we had managed to file all the change of addresses we need to:  Bank-yep, Post Office-yep, Domain Registrar-yep, Web Site-yep… We forgot a couple that almost cost us big….we forgot to change the address with the USPTO and when our trademark came up for renewal we didn’t get the notice.   That almost cost us our trademark—Oops!   We also forgot to change the address with the Secretary of State.  Oops.  

  Outspoken Media has a great blog on 31 Places to Change your Business Address when you move—a good checklist for y’all.

  Book Summaries: Dave Martin of Automattic 

  Dave Martin is the Creative Director at Automattic.  His blog focuses on Design Thoughts but what attracted me to his blog were summaries of some of the books that interest me.  Two in particular:

  • 36 Thins you might take away from Creativity, Inc.:   Creativity, Inc., written by Ed Catmull, President of Pixar and Disney Animation, was one of my favorite books that I read last year (and is in the pile for a re-read).
  • 84 Highlights from the Startup Playbook:   The Startup Playbook is on my list of books to read.   A lot of the codes that Dave picked definitely resonated from the past successes and especially failures.

  Bertrand Russell — Warren Buffet’s Favorite Philosopher 

  “When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in inferring that he is an inexact man…. It is an odd fact that subjective certainty is inversely proportional to objective certainty. The less reason a man has to suppose himself in the right, the more vehemently he asserts that there is no doubt whatever that he is exactly right.”
