Topical Tuesday :: Freedom of Information :: Web Censorship Our very first topic of discussion is away, and it is one that sprang to mind when I read today’s press. The conservative party in the UK is proposing that there should be greater controls placed on web content. Is this a good thing? or do [...]

“What’s the worst ‘best’ book you’ve ever read — the one everyone says is so great, but you can’t figure out why?” Neuromancer, by William Gibson. Supposed to be a great book. Supposed to be a classic Spec-Fic, the beginnings of cyberpunk. And I couldn’t make it past the first 3 chapters. Couldn’t find my [...]
One Child, No Defects? Hardly…

Just some disconnected thoughts on this article about genetic engineering from BrianCuban.com. Am I a going to far when I state that I see a world in the not to distant future where genetic testing for certain diseases will be mandatory and it will be a crime to conceive if you test positive for certain [...]
I think I’m the last one to pick up this meme…

Dream Home Meme below the cut…. Your home is a Time-Lord’s Hideout Your kitchen consists of dilithium-powered food replicators, manned by obedient robot slaves, who are sure to never, ever rebel. I mean, it’s preposterous to even consider it. There’s a pantry with emergency backup caffeinated beverages. You also have some breakfast cereals in there, [...]
Cortisol Week in the News

I encountered a couple of articles this week on the hormone cortisol. Completely unrelated – one was a link from an article about stress on Lime.com, the other was a news link out of my GMail window. And yet, they interrelate. 6 Lessons for Handling Stress — Friday, Jan. 19, 2007 — Page 3 — [...]

I got into an argument with one of our overseas technicians today. Still not entirely sure how it turned into an argument. But instead of answering the questions I asked, he got his supervisor on the phone. But it really bothered me, you know? I mean, I was trying to clarify what had and hadn’t [...]
I Call Bullshit (Deja Vu Pisses Me Off)
Posted in Because GRRLS Rock!, Stuff I don't even tell my mother on October 9, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
There was this moment of deja vu last week…. I had flashbacks to the time my father looked at my report card and said, “Not bad. Do better next time.”* And you know what? I’m bloody well sick and tired of dealing with other peoples’ elevated expectations. And I’m pissed off by the constant refusal [...]
The Magic of Creativity

So I took myself out to my car on break this morning, partly to make a phone call to my bank, and partly to go and fume about the latest corporate BS email. While I was sitting there trying very hard to remember the new password that the bank phone agent had given me, The [...]
The “No Asshole” Rule

Do you know, I actually hesitated before writing the title to this post before I remembered it’s my blog and I can use whatever language I want in it? How strange. Today’s Slow Leadership post linked to Bob Sutton’s blog. Which in turn linked to this delightful rant about corporate life. Some key points: Don’t [...]
