CipherTrust Deal
Secure Computing is acquiring CipherTrust. Congratulations to Jay Chaudhry, Mike Van Bruinisse, Brad McArthur, Guru Rajan, and Paul Judge who were on the executive team during my time there. Everyone that I have spoken with is happy with the outcome. So am I. A lot of people worked long and hard to make CipherTrust a success.
Since the announcement Secure Computing’s stock is getting hammered. Not because of the CipherTrust deal. They also announced that they are going to miss their Q2 earnings estimate. Blamed it on the World Cup.
Mike Rothman over at Security Incite hits the mail on the head. Secure Computing can use a little of CipherTrust’s aggressiveness. Van Bruinisse would have been out on the pitch doing a head butt to get those big deals done by the end of the quarter.

A Sad Day For Marketing
Theodore Levitt passed away. A great marketing mind.
One of my all time favorite marketing books is The Marketing Imagination.
Great Quote from that book:
“The purpose of a business is to create and keep a customer.”
Amen.

If Al Gore Wants to Conserve Resources…
he should stop eating so much. Might not be a bad idea to take his own advice and ride a bike once in a while. The guy is frigging huge!
I did not see him in person or in his movie “An Inconvenient Truth”
I saw one of his speeches from the TED Conference online. They have made a number of the talks available online with a program called Ted Talks. Great stuff. Subscribe to the series.
Fred Wilson pointed the way to this for me in this post.

Rolling Stones Gods Not Happy
Since using the lyrics to Shattered in vain a couple of weeks ago things sure have taken a turn. Vince has decided that he does not want to invest the time needed to move the Alele concept forward.
Shattered is the last song from The Rolling Stones great 1978 Some Girls release.
The album opens with Miss You.
