HubSpot is an American developer and marketer of software products for inbound marketing, sales, and customer service. HubSpot was founded by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah in 2006... In July 2015, HubSpot's CMO, Mike Volpe, was dismissed for violating HubSpot's code of business conduct. It was found that he tried to obtain a draft copy of the book Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start Up Bubble, written by his former employee Dan Lyons.[58][59] According to an article in The Boston Globe, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act indicated that HubSpot executives considered the book "a financial threat to HubSpot" and Volpe used "tactics such as email hacking and extortion" in the attempt to prevent the book from being published. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HubSpot

Daniel Lyons (born 1960) is an American writer. He was a senior editor at Forbes magazine and a writer at Newsweek before becoming editor of ReadWrite.

He was a writer and coproducer[3] on HBO's Silicon Valley and wrote the script for the May 2015 episode "White Hat/Black Hat"[4] while on a 14-week break from HubSpot in 2014.[5] Dan Lyons authored the book Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start Up Bubble (2016) about his time at the Boston, MA startup HubSpot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Lyons

Chris Aldrich says Hypothes.is + Obsidian = Hypothesidian for easier note taking and formatting. Anyone who knows me knows that I love Hypothes.is for all my online highlighting, annotating, and general note taking. They also know that if one isn’t actively using their notes to some better end, then it’s likely not worth having taken them at all, so I store mine in markdown in Obsidian for future-proofing and portability... RoamHacker’s work to dovetail Hypothes.is for use in Obsidian.

J. Joseph Miller: UI Design as Normal Science. The desktop GUI has shaped the way we think about human-computer interactions for the better part of 40 years. That may be changing. (more)

Eleanor Konik: How Obsidian.md Replaced Video Games & Helped Me Publish. Every time I consider opening up a colony simulator like Rimworld, or an ARPG like Path of Exile, or even a survival horror game like 7 Days to Die, I realize that the part of those games I really enjoy are inventory management and tweaking automations.

Arthur Perret: What is the point of a graph view? The defining characteristic of this group of tools is that they use hyperlinks to organize notes. Indeed, links aren't just navigation tools: they can be used to organize documents (in reticular fashion) just as folders and tags can be used to create hierarchies and apply taxonomies.

Why You Should Use Obsidian As a Journaling App. The hook? You own the data. Instead of uploading your notes to a service that can change subscription plans at a whim (I’m looking at you, Evernote), you choose where to store all your notes in simple text files. They can be on your computer, if that’s where you spend the majority of your note-taking time, or you can put them in a cloud-based storage solution like iCloud Drive or OneDrive. (more)

Waiting for Guffman is a 1996 American mockumentary comedy film and cult classic written by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy, and directed by Guest. The film's ensemble cast includes Guest, Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard, and Parker Posey. The film's title is a reference to Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot. As in the other mockumentary films created by Guest, the majority of the dialogue was improvised (based on Guest and Levy's story). Because the film is about the production of a stage musical, it contains several original musical numbers written by Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Guffman (more)
