Turning Incompetence into a Business Opportunity
I’m in class a lot these days, and this week it happens to be Software Quality Engineering Institute classes (big fancy organization, huh). I’m still in Dallas, but I’m not at my desk. In the middle of one of our discussions, our instructor Rex Black states something about a particular experience he’d had with a …

Don’t bite your tongue
Part 2 of 3 So having parts of your tongue cut off to teach you not to bite your tongue seems a bit extreme, but there’s another learning experience embedded, free of charge! As you might expect, having stitches in your tongue can be quite painful. I was on a liquid diet for a few …
Don’t bite your tongue
Part 1 of 3 Had an interesting learning experience this week. Having someone chop parts of your tongue off is an exciting way to learn something new. Seems I had a tumor on my tongue, as well as some “pre-cancerous tissues” that needed to be removed. The operation started with a spray on my tongue …
If you haven’t checked some of the comments lately…
Hey there. DeRigeur, he of the oral surgery, has been posting some pretty good material that points out that at least the Reuters news organization deliberately slants headlines toward the left.

A note and a thought for today
NOTE: While some weblogs may update daily, I’m going to limit it to at least twice a week. This is because quality matters to me, and I’d rather write decent stuff than mindless filler (note: some people would say the entire thing is mindless filler, YMMV). Today is Valentine’s day. It also marks the 9.5 …
Things I have collected, now and in the past
As a borderline obsessive-compulsive collector of, well, things, I feel it is time to admit some of the things I have collected, now and in the past. Shame is only in hindsight. National Lampoon magazines. Ren and Stimpy episodes. Animaniacs cartoon episodes. Gilmore Girls episodes (current) 7th Heaven episodes (current) Nigella Bites episodes (if the …
