“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to...
Friday T&A: Comfort Zone Edition

Friday T&A: Comfort Zone Edition

Well, this was certainly an eventful week. I spent the last few days in a sort of “corporate retreat” (minus the “corporate” part, for various reasons), doing all sorts of activities that I normally wouldn’t touch with a 30-foot pole....

The world according to Yakko

Those of you who grew up during the 1990s may remember a certain Warner Bros. animated show called The Animaniacs, directed and produced by Steven Spielberg. As you might expect, given the golden age of animation we lived through back then, with Saturday morning TV...
Domain Query: Genetics is NOT destiny

Domain Query: Genetics is NOT destiny

I had a rather odd drive-by comment from someone who calls himself Genetics is destiny on that post from a while back about Billzebub the Gates’s imploded marriage with MELinda the Dude. (For some reason, that is now THE most popular poast I’ve ever...

Monday morning Glasgow gassing

Where the hell did that weekend go? It was here just a moment past – and now it’s gone, like all good times. And, believe me, I needed those good times, because the previous week was an absolute killer in terms of work. As you may recall from...

Friday T&A: Body of Evidence Edition

What a week it’s been. I’ve spent the last 5 days up to my eyeballs in strategic thinking, frameworks, case studies, and an extremely crushing presentation schedule that left me with literally no time even to go to the gym yesterday. And given that...

As you can see from the near-complete lack of activity, it has been a very, very busy week for me. But that has not quite stopped me from checking out amusingly stupid things on TEH YOOTOOBZ from time to time. And few things are more stupid, or more amusing, than a...

Monday morning Concorde crash

Lord, not another Monday. Not today. Just… NO. Seriously. I’ve had enough of this Monday crap, and mine hasn’t even started yet. In fact, this whole week is going to SUCK for me, because I have a week-long strategic management workshop coming up, and...
