BEGIN ALICE RANT: Call me old fashioned, but I like my CEOs to be a little on the casual side – to a point. Bill G in his cords, Steve Jobs in his classic black mock turtleneck. But I draw the line at the ponytail. The ponytail to me signals leadership trouble, and sure enough Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz proved that today by Tweeting his resignation. As a Haiku, no less.
 
“Today’s my last day at Sun. I’ll miss it. Seems only fitting to end on a #haiku. Financial crisis/Stalled too many customers/CEO no more”
 
Blaming the financial meltdown for the woes at Sun is like blaming the Toyota recall on the Detroit collapse. Wonder what Larry Ellison – in his almost terrifyingly formal suits – thinks about this one?
