Overcoming Serious Indecisiveness
Overcoming Serious Indecisiveness.. one of these days I’ll have time to read everything I link to. One of these days.
Decisions are at the heart of leader success, and at times there are critical moments when they can be difficult, perplexing, and nerve-racking. However, the boldest decisions are the safest. This source provides useful and practical guidance for making efficient and effective decisions in both public and private life. Nothing succeeds a success better than another sweet success.
30 Days to Success
30 Days to Success – I don’t know if it works, haven’t got time to read it! 🙂

Ignore details early on
Oh, this is so true!
We’re crazy about the details. We love the details. The space between objects. The perfect type leading. The perfect color. The perfect words. 4 lines of code instead of 7. The perfect flow. 90% vs 89%. 760px vs 750px. $39/month vs. $49/month. Success and satisfaction is in the details.
However, success isn’t the only thing you’ll find in the details. You’ll also find fixation, stagnation, disagreement, meetings, and delays. These poison projects. These are the things that kill morale (and if morale is low, your chance of success is even lower). You want to avoid these at all costs. If you procrastinate, procrastinate the details.
Hacking the Papal Election
Hacking the Papal Election – great article that examines the Papal Election process. In this day and age I’d hope that the faith of the cardinals would discourage cheating but you never know!
There is one way of hacking the process..
The process is vulnerable to other forms of attack. Like Alexander VI Borgia’s tactic of wholesale bribery and assassination of opponents…
Relationships: Speed up, dear or you'll run out of testosterone
While on the general topic of cars, here’s a laughable Sunday Times article from the Driving section. Do they think their readership is composed of car mad neanderthal, testoserone overflowing males?
I for one would love to be driven around, by anyone.
Passion in a marriage can be killed when a woman gives too many driving instructions to a man. And when women are driving men around all the time you can bet that couple are not having much sex any more – that behaviour doesn’t foster increasing testosterone, which is part of the attraction between a man and a woman.
Rover, here boy! It's not a dog's life at Rover.
Proinnsias has a good replacement logo for the ailing Rover motor company.
By chance, I read this morning an article interviewing Jon Moulton who wanted to buy Rover a few years back.. “If only they’d sold Rover to me …” Love this quote:
Asked whether MG Rover might have had more success if Moulton had taken over the company, Daniel Ward, a spokesman for the car maker, said simply: “He didn’t.”
The paper has more here and here, including the revelation that the Chinese have a claim to the Rover name!

What Canon Lens?
Looking around for a zoom or telephoto lens. Very confused. I have a lot to learn. I’m on a budget so this Sigma DC 4-5.6/55-200 C/AF looks like a good compromise between price and performance.
