Facebook on Apocalypse Now. #wtf
This is FB's actual description of Apocalypse Now. Good on them for the Existentialism bit. I missed the disabled people exploring Costa Rica in my several views. Better go back and look at the Director's Cut. #wtf

Brilliant piece on mental illness
An Illness, Inherited?
I spent many months, as a fetus, in a mental institution, listening to the world shuffling outside.

Consultancy in a Nutshell, Part 3
Consultancy in a nutshell, part 3. Do not try to understand the millions of dollars that are paid to Top Shelf Consultant firms that sometimes start with M or A to come up with vision, value, culture and mission statements that have nothing to do with happens on the ground. Admire the four quadrants and platitudes as you would a septic tank truck with a broken axle: with deference, exhilaration, and a lot of distance.

Consulting in a Nutshell, Part 2
a) Find secure web apps that will make bureaucracy's wheels move faster.
Throw them away before you're told you can't use them.
b) Drop words like "piddle", "hoistengrabber" and "grubble-finger" in your one-on-one when the client, who has called the meeting, says "keep talking, I'm listening" as they respond at 80 wpm to the latest bright shiny conversation that popped up on their screen.
c) See how many words you can introduce to client management lexicon. To get top marks, you should use them incorrectly, so they're easier to spot when they've infiltrated camp. ie: "This is your bailiwick now" (Pointing to your shoe, then an employee, then your shoe again and nodding seriously) or "The IT Maturity Model you're referring to is in direct conflict with Milligram's findings on shocking things".
...You get the idea.

Consulting in a Nutshell
Consulting in a nutshell: (1) Prepare to deal with one crazy, one smart-but-crazy, one bat-shit crazy, and a couple of good eggs without the influence they should have. (2) Make the best decisions you can with incomplete or conflicting information. (3) Always answer a yes or no question with "It depends".
