The Goal posts change once more

We talk a lot in my organisation about the need for flexibility and adaptability, the old ability to roll with the punches so to speak, whilst still mananging to achieve something of real value. Man am I living that this year...

An old dog is learning new tricks - maybe

There is a point in a life that learning new tricks is beyond physical capabilities or mental comprehension. However, I am finding that with the advent in the wealth of social media sites an old dog like me has a great chance of learning new tricks.

For any old folk who can remember party lines, the internet can be very intimidating. Most people my age are just getting rid of their rolodexes and discovering emails. My brother sent me a message recently telling me that he is going to… Continue

Why not me?

I hear that a lot from some of the clients I work with and I try and I try and tell them that they are asking the wrong questions. Here is my view on this topic:

-No person will ever be more then they think about themselves

-You are what you think and not what you do (Every time)

-We may not believe it, but we are exactly where we should be (Because that was the programmed state we are in until we change it)

Completely Missing the Point (China)

It has been around for decades, and is conducted using a well-defined and validated methodology.

So It’s such a pity that the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey (MEOS) survey completely misses the point for China.

Review: Google's HTC Dream phone -- That's it?

By Bonnie Cha and Nicole Lee

(CNET) -- It's been a little more than a year since Google Android was announced and rumors of a little device called the HTC Dream started to leak onto the Web.

The G1 does not support stereo Bluetooth, Microsoft Exchange, or video recording.

Does a Diversity Focus Perpetuate Racism?

"Advocates of 'diversity' are true racists in the basic meaning of the term: they see the world through colored lenses, colored by race and gender."

Read one person's thoughts here - be sure to read the comments too.
