I don’t take notes.
Well, I say I don’t take notes but really, sometimes I do.  It would be more accurate to say that I rarely take notes in the way that most people take notes.
I was recently in a meeting with my boss and he was detailing a lot of things he wanted me to [...]

Suing Google for bringing you business

It seems silly to me that people keep filing these lawsuits against Google for basically bringing them business.
Some Belgian newspapers are suing Google for violating their copyrights by reprinting headlines and linking to their stories on their websites.
Ya know, if Google were pushing a ton of traffic to my site, traffic from people who wouldn’t [...]

Lunch and people who don’t pay attention

It’s not that difficult really.  You goto lunch, you order some food, someone makes that food for you and hands it over.
It never ceases to amaze me how little people pay attention anymore.  I went to Arby’s today - they have a killer Reuben that I like and you can get it with turkey instead [...]
