Remember back when everybody had personal home pages? And they'd put disclaimers atop their pages every time they changed something, add little ![[image]](http://mowser.com/img?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toddhodes.com%2FPics%2Fnew.jpg)
icons next to the changes, plus then have matching "Construction Ahead" road signs? Remember the need for line-eater food preceeding Usenet posts? How about those ubiquitous final .signature lines that defeated the theoretical NSA automated content snooping that is actually in full-on use today, and thus would get you arrested? Yea, me neither.

The central Kafka joke... is that our endless and impossible journey toward our home, is our home. -- as related by David Foster Wallace The family is the cradle of the world's misinformation. ... The family is strongest where objective reality is the most likely to misinterpreted. --Don DeLillo "Using a key to gouge expletives on another's vehicle is a sign of trust, and friendship." --Ignignot, ATHF The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat much. Africa is nothing like 'The Lion King.' I think that movie took a lot of artistic license. Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility -James Thurber We fill pre-existing forms
and when we fill them
we change them
and are changed. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery Happiness is only real when shared. It's excellence, not happiness, that we admire most. Where there's muck, there's brass For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed, they must be interrupted. We must acknowledge that nobody is ever fully knowable -- maybe especially not those closest to us. What animates and motivates others is very often a stew of secrets they will take to their graves. My daddy told me when I was a boy, "The only way you can be different from other people is to do some shit they don't want to do" -- Wynton Marsalis At twenty-nine one exchanges a great vague possibility for a small hard reality Most educated people are aware that we're the outcome of nearly 4bn years of Darwinian selection, but many tend to think that humans are somehow the culmination. Our sun, however, is less than halfway through its lifespan. Six billion years from now, it will not be humans who watch the sun's demise. Any creatures that then exist will be as different from us as we are from bacteria or amoebae. Business isn't about buying and selling. The powerful motivator in our lives isn't money; it's the opportunity to learn, grow in responsibilities, contribute to others, and be recognized for achievements. Thus, management can be the most noble of professions, if it's practiced well. No other occupation offers as many ways to help others learn and grow, take responsibility, be recognized for achievement, and contribute to the success of a team.
