Rondam Ramblings: Top ten geek business myths

  • All these myths can be neatly summarized in a pithy slogan: it's the customer, stupid. Success in business is not about having a brilliant idea. Bright ideas are a dime a dozen.

    if they have canoe sterns.
  • vertical topsides reduce
    space inside dramatically and in addition are not good news when sailing
    offshore. As a boat moves in waves so it heaves up and down, causing discomfort
    and slowing the boat. Flared topsides help counteract this heaving because
    as the boat sinks the buoyancy picks up more quickly than with vertical
    topsides.
