So I'm celebrating the new NFL season at Willie's Sports Bar in Mason... Pretty neat place to hang out to watch a game, with wireless access and everything. I always wondered what a place would look like if you designed it from the ground up to be for fantasy leaguers and sports fans. It's getting there here at Willie's, but the tables aren't set up at an angle where I can see the TV, so I've improvised.

Dave's been reading a book that I recommended, The Innovator's Solution. It talks about how we should design products for "jobs to be done" instead of "how many features can I add to this thing." So if we were to think of what the "job to be done" for someone like me is, how would you design Willie's different? My jobs to be done: I need a place to watch my football teams, who I can't see at home bc I don't live in Wisconsin (or Dallas).

One miscellaneous thing... on Yahoo fantasy baseball, they have profiles for each player. This is my favorite profile picture, it's a player named Adam Jones of Baltimore:
