Listener Reactions and Personal Anecdotes on Scott Adams
A listener letter from Mitchell Reeves highlights the impact of Scott Adams' podcast alongside the current show. An anecdote is shared regarding a past online conflict on CompuServe and ZDNet, which served as the basis for advice given to Adams about ending public arguments through simple apologies.
The hosts recount how Tech TV and ZDNet failed to consult their own experts, like Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo, when setting up corporate blogs. They use this as an example of how large organizations often ignore the talent they hire. They also briefly defend their own use of Squarespace for the show's website.
Dvorak proposes visiting the Empress of China, a classic but faded restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, for a future review. He describes the venue as a semi-decadent landmark located on the 10th floor of a building overlooking the district. The hosts discuss the merits of reviewing such locations for listeners who frequent the city, contrasting it with the high-end entrepreneurial dinners Dvorak usually attends with figures like Dan Farber.
