Imagineer I Know

I’ve always been fascinated by visionaries.  These are people who have the same raw materials as everyone else and do amazing innovative things with it.  I’ve written extensively on Walt Disney, Ray Kroc, Rod Serling, and many many more innovators.  Watching the amazing Randy Pausch Last Lecture, I learned that the engineers at Disneyland are [...]

Manage Your Comments: Recaptcha In, Akismet Out

July 15, 2008 – 9:46 pm

Akismet, the native WordPress comment spam protection service, spams a lot of good comments on my blog. I don’t always have the time to check it for false-negatives. As a result, I probably have missed at least some comments from many great writers, friends, and visitors. I’ve suffered with it long enough. Today I deactivated it and now I’m using Recaptcha. In the future I may use them both in concert with one another.
