🎵 Robert Plant at 66 on The Jools Holland Show … educating us on how it is done. Absolutely phenomenal.
And if you thought you knew ‘Whole Lotta Love’ .. you are likely wrong unless you heard him do it with The Shape Shifters.

Oakland Police does have a bad rap, but they are getting better. Over in NYC, it looks like it was a lot worse.

Oakland got caught. NYC didn’t - until now.

You haven’t been caught. Yet.

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’ :-)
