One of our product managers sent around a link to the site www.crankypm.com which describes the fictional life of a product manager at a mythical software company.

This is a day during which thousands of independent podcasters and bloggers will attempt to show the strength they have compared to traditional corporate media. How? By making an indepedent single the #1 item on iTunes. You can support this effort by buying the song "Mine Again" by Black Lab, a band that was dropped from two labels and had to fight back to get the rights to its own music.
