Phenomenal story about Ball’s Pyramid and the Lord Howe Stick Insect.

Narangansett Cream Ale

Call it a leap day resolution, but I’d like to blog a little bit more. I’m going to start by using the QuickPress Tumblresque option on WordPress.

First post, this Narangansett Cream Ale sounds delicious.

This Is Your Nana

I received this bizarre voicemail.

Honey CSA

Tracey and I invested in a CSA last year. Our return tastes amazing.

Funky Android

My Android Virtual Device is acting all funky on Oneiric Ocelot.

Sidewalks

The WPA embedded copper placards into the sidewalks on Willet Street in Quincy. I used to admire them on the way to work. In the last few weeks, the roads and the sidewalks on that street were torn up and replaced with granite curbs.

Try Things

Sriram Krishnan hits the nail on the head with his post, Don’t be so f*king strategic.

All large companies (and I do mean all – this is not a post about Microsoft) tend to be in love with finding the right “strategy” in place before doing anything.

In the strategy consulting industry, this is close to what they call “analysis paralysis”. It is easy to get stuck in a loop searching for the ultimate strategy or design.

For big companies, analysis paralysis leads to a lot of wasted management time. For smaller companies, a lack of action can lead to wasted development and design cycles. It is important to find test projects and try random things with any spare cycles, and make that part of the strategy, than lose valuable development hours.

New Glasses

I’ve bought eyeglasses online before. This time I ordered from 39DollarGlasses. All told, I paid just over 60 dollars for a pair of UV and anti-reflection coated lenses.

As you can see, it comes with a high-quality case and some accessories. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and would buy from them again.
