    some excellent thoughts on management from Aaron Swartz. I especially like how he redefines managers as servants.

    A better way to think of a manager is as a servant, like an editor or a personal assistant. Everyone wants to be effective; a manager’s job is to do everything they can to make that happen. The ideal manager is someone everyone would want to have.

    yeah, i’m a big Battlestar Galactica fan. and this link has tons of spoilers, so if you’re not familiar with the show, you might wanna pass it up.
    That said, one of the things I love about this show is how convincingly each side of the fight is represented.
    I am both sympathetic to and repulsed by the Cylons; their struggle with their own concepts of free will and responsibility is very human even if they are not.
    The article is worth a read if you follow the show:

    The Cylons that propose, today, to become Colonial citizens were, just short time ago, planning and executing the almost complete annihilation of humanity. There is no conception of justice that can bear the introduction of these creatures into our society. The “Final Five” excepted, they are each and every one butchers; to excuse them their crimes would render the murders they carried out meaningless. It would destroy the fundamental tenets of our civilization. If we recognize that the rebel Cylon have civil rights, then they surely have civic responsibilities; as such, each and every one of them should fall under the authority of a war crimes tribunal, under accusation of genocide.

    [aka: why Firefly failed]
    Scott Adams is a genius, often.

    The common notion about entertainment is that the better the quality, the bigger the audience. There’s some truth to that. But what I find more interesting is that it works the other way too: You need popularity before you have the luxury of developing quality.

    Gives me a reason to like the Ice in Ice Age.

    Together with up to three assistant he painted an enormous illusion of around 250 square meter large. We’ve got a unique chance to see the process of creation inside!

    It was a truly excellent meal! The lo mein is warm and fresh, the mu shu was super, and the egg rolls are fantastic.

    The tables *are* a little funny, with their plastic-y covers, and the place…

     
  • my blog's gone berserk!

    i know there aren’t many of you that read this anymore, but for those that do, I wanted to apologize for the craziness of the last few days.

    i’ve just finished hooking up my own personal stream of activity to this blog, so you can see most of what i’m up to around the web in one central place. i still intend to break out of “breakfast blogging” mode and start making good things with good ideas again. hooking up these external sites lets me do that from just about anywhere.

    thanks for putting up with me.
