Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Actually, I made it up much earlier today. At work.
Became something of a hero-for-the-day when I conceived of a new color coding. I was concerned about watching people form opinions about things, and then wander off in all different directions, each person convinced everybody else was in complete agreement about how to categorize each of what…when I could tell people weren’t in agreement.
The memorandum I wrote said I was concerned about “the EtherSync.”
Should have invented that word a long time ago. The false sense of round-table-agreement that hasn’t actually been achieved, probably costs Corporate America hundreds of billions of dollars every year.

So can EtherSync be sarcastic shorthand for: “I can’t BELIEVE anyone would disagree with my position that a recent university, AND media outlet AND gub’mint agency statistics poll, of those surveyed, PROVES that everybody just KNOWS!”
Or is it simply : Too stupid to recognize the sucker at the card table?

And NOBODY WRITE ANYTHING DOWN.”

- Severian | 03/06/2014 @ 05:49I’ve seen this too many times. This is why I love it when the meeting organizer emails out the notes of the meeting with action items spelled out. That email has saved the team’s collective bacon multiple times when the written notes and people’s recollection were not in sync. “Did we agree *this* Friday or *next* Friday?”
