The art of stealing

The art of stealing


Max Carey, Hall of Famer baseball player during the 1910-20s, reduces the whole problem of doing business down to an eye for details: "Stealing bases is the art of picking up little things--things like a spitball pitcher who never threw to first if he was going to throw a spitter to the plate."


A lot of what I write about here are those little things. A media giant missing the sign to shift into a new technology. The cost of preserving a few dollars in revenue at the expense of developing a new generation of content creators.
