New pizza place in the Mission. I hear tell of “olive oil cornmeal cake with honey-thyme ice cream”. Okey then.

– [ The Source of Empathy, from Recovering Sociopath ] I like this. I do often think that saying “I can’t see where you’re coming from” is a cop-out. If I can’t see, I can at least ask the right questions till I get a general picture of what somebody’s thinking.

– [ Mr X, Lead IA Guy at American Airlines, from Dear Dustin Curtis ] It strikes me that websites may be a good visual indicator of the internal workings and philsophy of a company. It certainly shows more about a company’s processes and values than, say, their letterhead or offices. Also, Mr....

This is a great idea—a universal, friendly sheet for IE that, once implemented, means nobody has to bother wasting time working around IE ever, ever again. It’s a dream, but it’s a great dream. I doubt business people will sign off it.

– [ In Praise of Dullness, New York Times ] I think the key here is really “execution and organizational skills.” I don’t care if my CEO is a nice guy, but I want him to be great at his job. Jack Donaghy is honestly the best example that comes to mind right now.
