It's so awesome I wonder how many people think it's faked somehow. Supposedly, it's not.

Star Wars Day 2011

May the Fourth be with you. Ha ha. So original. Almost as funny as everyone saying "see you next year!" on December 31. I prefer Pi Day.

Crossing the Chasm

Sometimes, in business, it pays to be confrontational. It's worked for stupid little fat Italian guys who think basic science is mind-blowing, and it's worked for big companies as well.

Donald Trump for President

Is Donald Trump going to be the best the Republican Party can come up with? Yes No View Results

This sign hangs in our local Smokey Bones restaurant. I think it's rude. It's condescending and, well, rude. The same night, the waitress forgot to put Carey's order in.

Growth vs. Fixed Mindsets

I bought a copy of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck based on the recommendation of a friend. I'm also reading a PDF called The Talent Myth. The former talks about how people tend to be either of a "Fixed Mindset" or a "Growth Mindset." The author posits that you can change [...]
