Coming soon: the new lean mean economy

one thing i'm sure of is that the recession will get us off our butts and to thinking more about ways to improve our lives/innovate/advance/not merely survive/etc.

yes there will always be the occasional serendipity, but many of man's accomplishments will have to be attributed to constantly/persistently/thomas edisonly/etc applying himself to solving a particular problem. and nothing get's man to apply himself more earnestly than pressure.

some things we've taken for granted/gotten accustomed to/not bothered to change cos they...well...worked.../etc will have to be replaced.


the economy may still get worse yet...but it will emerge leaner (after shedding redundant weight) and more efficient.

you won't get away with inefficiency for long...cos the recession is coming to gitchya!

cheers

Suggested Improvement to Facebook "Like"

Image
Seriously, Facebook should stop abusing the word "Like". We've made our peace with their abuse of the word "Friend" but the "Like" thingy may be doing them some harm. Think about it. Imagine I find a page I want to participate in not because I like the page ("like" in the literal sense not the perverted Facebook sense) but because I want to provide an alternate viewpoint. The establishment could have the exact opposite of my values, or sell products I'm not happy with, and the best way to keep tabs on them, or offer my complaint would be to "Like" the page. Problem is I don't want to be caught dead 'liking' a page I don't...well...like. I know companies would probably want to limit the voice of the complaining customer, but some (the smart ones) will want to hear such customers so they can improve or at least know what their enemies are saying. This loss in important feedback and community activity might cost

Super hero meets his match! Part 2

Image
We now, once again, follow the exploits of our hero, the Super Duper Diaper Buster Extraordinaire. He is fully recovered and rested after his bloody battle with that wily one…the Sneaky-Leaky Squirty Diaper. It appears that gory encounter was only a preparation for graver things to come! Enter, the evil of evils, one so great our hero had to partner with his former nemeses, one that leaves a bitter lasting smell in the memories of those who dare cross its path…THE PERPETUAL DOO!!! Greater than before was the carnage. First to be felled were the diapers. They fell with greater ease than when against our hero, the Super Duper Diaper Buster…don’t forget Extraordinaire! Even the Sneaky-Leaky’s wiles were no match. He was however able to distract the common enemy for a split second…long enough for our hero to sacrificially use all-might-mustered force! As usual, after the fact, just like in the movies, we hear the sirens of the Special Operations for Abstergence and Purification, and the w
