My Lego Love is Fast Fading
I’ve loved Lego since I was a little kid. I haven’t really counted, but I’m guessing I still have (in large crates in my garage) somewhere around 300+ Lego sets of varying size. There’s something about allowing your creativity to roam that really interests me. And as a company, the Lego Group has also been [...]
Jeff Gordon on Supply Excellence
Justin Fogarty from Supply Excellence e-mailed last week and asked me (and some others as well) about what we thought would be the biggest supply chain risks in a recovery. He was kind enough to think that my response on “Instant Amnesia” warranted a guest post on Supply Excellence. Thanks to Justin for the opportunity! [...]
Library of Congress
I visited the Library of Congress about a year ago on a quick trip to DC. I figured that stopping by the Library to see if the Software Licensing Handbook was actually on a shelf wouldn’t hurt (yes, it’s a little egotistic, but everyone needs a boost every now and then). The process to actually [...]
Jeff Gordon Quoted on SpendMatters Today
Today’s edition of SpendMatters discusses merger and acquisition issues as they relate to software licensing. Jason Busch was kind enough to seek my opinion on the matter and through my long and winding response, he pulled out the best nuggets. At the end of the day, the time to think about M&A-related stuff is when [...]

Quoted in New Article on Settling Out of Court
I was quoted in a new article on Settling Out of Court on bankrate.com. Thanks to Ms. Filisko for an excellent story. The Licensing Handbook Blog is the companion site to the Software Licensing Handbook. Covering licensing topics on a regular basis, Jeffrey Gordon attempts to offer advice, add humor and sometimes even a bit [...]
Cnet author advocates theft
I’m simply stunned by a recent article written by Cnet columnist Rafe Needleman. In his post, he blatently advocates buying “lesser” versions of Microsoft products to take advantages of the discounts available to certain classes of users, regardless of whether you actually fall into that user class. His cavalier attitude towards the vendor (telling his [...]

The Value of Testimonials
If you’ve not seen the latest CarFax commercials, they’re pretty funny. Essentially, the buyer wants to see the CarFax report and the seller doesn’t want to give it to them. Here’s my favorite: Yet, as enterprise software buyers asking for references, this is essentially what we’re accepting from the vendor – a note from the [...]
Amazon’s Orwellian Behavior
As many are reporting, Amazon.com “recalled” an e-book remotely in response to a request by a publisher. This is all kinds of scary and most folks are centered on the purely tangible nature of the problem. I’m also concerned about the precent it sets, but I’m more concerned about the sapping of intellectual property rights [...]
