| < < | The computer is both blessing and curse for it makes possible calculations once beyond the reach of human endurance while at the same time also making them virtually beyond the hope of human verification. - Henry Petrosky (more CuteQuotes) | |||||||
| > > | IM is one more toxic spill that's directing our attention to short-term minor issues at the cost of procrastinating on important tasks that require more than a few minutes of uninterrupted thinking. Any time-management consultant will tell you that the basics of meeting your goals are to prioritize them and spend the most time on the most important problems. To make real progress in creative thinking, problem solving, or other knowledge work, we need to keep out interruptions and set our own agenda. IM, in contrast, lets your agenda be controlled by anybody who has your screen name. - Jakob Nielsen (more CuteQuotes) | |||||||
| Fun book I've just finished reading: High And Mighty by Keith Bradsher. A very scary book about why SUV's kill more people than cars (both the people inside and the people they crash into) and why the auto makers depend on them to stay in business. It's a very scary book that makes me want to run out and buy an armored Crown Victoria. If you drive an SUV please sell it and buy a car. | ||||||||
