An immodest proposal 
Factotum non grata
| | Rick Belluzzo, whose mark on Silicon Graphics consisted of changing its name to SGI, leaves no mark whatsoever on Microsoft after being replaced there by the vacuum he failed to fill when he arrived. |
Resistance is futile
| | [Later...] To readers who think I agree with this scenario, I should make clear that I believe the natural logic of journalism is AND, not OR. Markets for information are self-informing. Formal journals do that. So do blogs. Everything else is NBD. |
Oh, the humanity!
| | ... lets look beyond the scandal and the media blitz and the torch lit mobs looking to bring Andersen to the gallows. It should be noted that Andersen employees 28,000 employees in the United States and 57,000 employees abroad. (For the folks in Florida that's 85,000 total employees). Of course the word "employees" is such a clinical term. Andersen employs 85,000 people. People not buildings. People not calculators. People not in-human entities. |
Trash Compaqteur
| | Mitch Wagner (of the 24-hour drive-thru weblog) has not been camping happily with his Compaq Presario laptop. The latest result is:::: The Happy Fun Don't Buy Compaq Page. An Iceberg Award candidate, perhaps? |
| | Disclaimer: I've had no experience with Compaq products (other than lusting after an iPaq for several years now). |
Meanwhile, nonstop work
| | Seattle is spectacular this morning. Not a cloud in the sky. Mountains capped in white rim the horizon all directions. Mt. Ranier is almost scary (as it should be: it's an active volcano, and a huge one). |
| | Barely caught the comet in the Western sky last night, hanging over the Olympic Peninsula not far to the right of Mars (brightest "star" near the western horizon after sunset), near Mirach in Andromeda (a landmark star for finding the galaxy by the same name, which is the farthest — and for me the most amazing — naked-eye object in the sky). Should be even clearer tonight. Can't wait. |
