Android 2.2
Android 2.2 小結：
Android 2.2 OS 果然跟預期的一樣，更新了先前大家預言的強大功能，除了速度上的提升，還新增 20 幾項細部功能，另外 Android Market 的應用也做得更加完整。呼呼，如果各位手上的 Android 手機不能升級到 2.2 的話，斑比真心覺得，你會想要摔手機。
Tribal Leadership Explained
Bnet created this video to explain the concepts in Tribal Leadership (Harper Collins, 2008). Let us know what you think!
Hackathon
Over 300 hundred hackers attended the kickoff of TechCrunch Disrupt at 2 p.m. today.
The die-hard techies will spend 20 hours, many without sleep, to come up with the next big idea. The participants will compete in a rapid fire pitch in front of a panel of judges tomorrow before noon.
Zappos Hack-a-thon
While these projects are mostly in concept-form only, it should give you some visibility into potential future advances that we could build for our customers and employees.
We are going to ask you to vote for your favorite project, which we will then get ready to go live.

Just a quick update for those tracking the Disrupt Hackathon. Pizza has been delivered, the Red Bull girls have made their rounds, and the group seems to be in high spirits. TechCrunch developer Andy Brett and I made the rounds this afternoon, chatting with developers (who came from places as close as New York and as far as Israel) to discuss their projects and their strategy for the evening. Many expected to use a combination of potent caffeine and quick naps to power through the session. Some offered quirkier solutions: one team toyed with the idea of napping in the beginning and working during the late hours (to sleep through the noisiest part of the day) and another set a hard deadline of 2 am so that they could be the most refreshed team during the presentation round. We’ll find out who makes it and what they’ve made tomorrow at 11am— and for those who can’t be here, we plan to Livestream the event as well. Until then, enjoy our brief video of Hackathon (Andy doesn’t make frequent video appearances so this is a real treat, bonus points if you find his 2 cameos). This was all shot on a flip cam.
Because you could never be too educated, Zappos offers classes (some mandatory, some not) to it's employees. One class that helps keep our Zappos culture alive and well is the Zappos Culture Course. This class births a lot of the fun and weird events that go on inside the office.
