Decision Making
Just read Stowe Boyd on ‘Decisions’ (scroll down to the second article). An interesting read, to which I would add that one problem with assessing good-v-bad decisions, is that we justify retrospectively based on outcome.
We would never say that driving home drunk is a good decision, but the outcome of getting home with no incident reinforces the thought that one should do it again because there was no bad outcome. In fact if you consistently do it - the reinforcement just grows.
Strikes me that much management practice is based on this same kind of thinking.
This also relates in some ways to the work of Simon Wardley.
As someone called ‘Gaga’ by a very little person … I was fascinated to watch this and discover it means ‘water’ :-)
Seriously - if you are into data, analysis, video,. language, learning … this is a must watch

Sinclair Moves to Skirt Rules and Get Tribune Merger Approved … is it any wonder that we don’t do anything about a foreign power manipulating the free press in the USA when we realize just how far US companies are going to do just the same thing. Where is the national news about this?
Have to say in a normal movie house I am typically surrounded by coke slurping, popcorn crunching, nacho smelling hoards of people … so while this initially sounds great any kind of analysis over a couple of seconds tells me I won’t be going to one any time soon.
said it before - saying it again … the apple never falls far from the tree - I’m looking at you Jared … and your tree …
convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and served time in federal prison.
Christie used to get it right.
OK - who told me about 1 second every day … I THINK it was @modernlittleme - just can’t recall and can’t find the conversation around Feb 2nd that started it all. Bottom line - with a little bit of ‘cheating’ - I have my twenty eight day episode complete!
👁️ I micro blogged a comment on pen and paper that got syndicated to twitter and a friend tweeted back this link. 🔗 #2 - Brad Dowdy on the best pen, paper, and notebooks - The Kevin Rose Show
Just closing the loop 😇
Not exactly a purge. Definitely liberating …
- Draft posts in three different blogs
- Text files
- Evernote stories

Cape Town's "Day Zero" is a bellwether of global water crises
"With reservoirs already extremely low after a punishing drought, Cape Town is now projected to run out of water as early as July.

"I got through about three minutes of Phantom Thread. I put in a good solid three," Lawrence said after Maron asked if she had seen the film. "I couldn't. I'm sorry to anybody who loved that movie."
… yeah I think that is what I managed in total across all The Hunger Games movies … I know what you mean J!
