It's liberating to be working toward the goal of success as opposed to arbitrary "goals" set by micromanaging overlord types.

Sometimes, learning how NEVER to lead is the best lesson of all. You can learn a lot from negative examples.
Ever notice that some of the best leadership lessons you learn come from the worst leaders you work for?

I really like the browser add-on TidyRead. Makes web site articles/text much more readable. http://ping.fm/RIcGy
Biggest problem with State of Play was the much too "on the nose" portrayal of old vs. new media.
State of Play was very good. Seems like it wants to be All The President's Men for a new generation (but not quite...).
Going to take in a double feature. State of Play next up.
Angels & Demons was pretty good. From what I remember of the novel, quite faithful.
Stopping by Diesel Cafe before heading to Somerville Theater. Probably my last trip to both.

TWiT #192 has redeemed the show. Good conversations among people who respect each others' time to speak.
Giving TWiT #192 a chance. 10 minutes to keep me from writing off the whole show.
Just listened to the first 15 minutes of TWiT #191. What a train wreck.
On the road again. 3+ hours of driving ahead of me.
