I’ll have to be honest when I first read the following story on MSNBC I exploded into a fit of rage. I had to wait a couple of hours before I tried to formulate a rational, cogent post. This outrage represents the grand crescendo in a long line of outrages. From the mouths of those who ardently fight for a utopia where there is health care for all comes this inane drivel: Senate health bill...

I’m not a big a big Krugman fan. Not that he isn’t an excellent economist but he usually seems more interested, or at least as interested, in pushing a political agenda rather than one grounded in economics. Having said that, I found this Op-Ed in the NYT today, pretty interesting. I think he’s made some cogent arguments the past few days about concentrating too much on the deficit...

Mike Tolley, Principal Consultant at Cogent (fm) Solutions, identifies the need to understand what the customer wants to achieve in order to deliver the right solution. Coming back to work for an installer for family reasons, I found it difficult to adopt the approach of the salesman again, so I didn’t. I was told to expect [...]

As in the "Top Novels of the 00's Decade" this post is based on an earlier sffworld thread , though here the choices are more difficult especially in the fantasy category; for novels it was a pretty easy choice at least as the general outline went with the #1 choices in all 3 categories very clear for me. When talking about authors in the sff arena there are several criteria that I use: reasonable...

Occasionally, we see a confused query How do I allow access to my blog, and keep my GMail account private to me? or How do I have my friends using my blog, and each person use their own name in publishing posts? These are people who do not understand the concept of team blogs. Team blogs use a separate Blogger / Google account for each member, they do not require everybody to share one Blogger / Google...

True to form, the Vatican has recently demonstrated once again how in touch it is with reality and its disciples by condemning the new Twilight movie ‘New Moon’ as existing within a ‘deviant moral vacuum’.This comes not that long after the Vatican’s equally insightful and cogent criticism of R.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books for - [...]

Mike Tolley, Principal Consultant at Cogent (fm) Solutions, looks at the issues that concern the CCTV industry today. Unfortunately my flippant comment about double glazing sales people selling CCTV is true. The approach to selling CCTV is based, by the majority, on How many? and The cheapest price? – not questions such as Why CCTV? Placed [...]

Nigeria aspires to be among the 20 biggest economies in the world by the year 2020. Budgeting is an integral part of that action plan. But at this crucial juncture in the life of the nation, lawmakers elected to serve the public were unable to receive President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's presentation of the 2010 budget for a less than cogent reason: they could not agree on which of the chambers would host...

It’s been an interesting week here thinking about things online. It started off with a coffee date with my pal On The Public Record, whose blog of the same name is a must-read for anyone trying to make sense of California’s arcane water policy. OTPR and I were making observations about the different sorts of relationships between blog writers and the readers of same, and OTPR made what...

Reading this definition: " Propaganda is a form of communication aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. This is contrasted to impartially providing information. " Am I trying to influence people? Not really. I do this for myself. I don't care if people read this, although I do have fans. In fact, I am very pleased with who my fans are! That's part...

Here is a well thought out and cogent explanation of the Harlequin/AuthorHouse mess. This is the paragraph that makes me see red: 3. Why is Harlequin launching a self-publishing business? Many aspiring authors choose self-publishing as a way to see their work in print – to give copies as gifts, to have a bound copy to help in finding an agent, or simply as a keepsake A bound copy is close to...

Accessorizing with costume jewellery continues to be hugely popular and this is unlikely to change in the next year or so. The age of jewellery minimalism is unlikely to be back anytime soon- the bolder the better. The recessionary times we live in means that some sparkle from bold accessories is particularly welcome. Spring is here. The robins are singing, the lambs and beasts are blame up their heels,...
