    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

I’m full of ideas. Now, let’s change things.

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die I’m reading Made to Stick. The timing is excellent….

Learning to Change-Changing to Learn

Learning to Change-Changing to Learn Notice my URL… now. I found this video via this post. It’s particularly interesting to me because I just had a discussion with a good friend.  That discussion was directly about this topic and how we have different viewpoints and different aspects of this topic in our lives. I’m listening. [...]

interesting words for me today

I just added this as my Facebook status.  “Toby is quagmire laden, feeling morose, exhausted, refreshed, enlightened, verbose, confused, capable, smart, hungry, thirsty, and finally some enchanted melancholy.”

March 20

March 20 is today’s date.  This year it’s the 80th day of the year (leap year).  There are 286 days remaining.  It’s the first day of Spring!  It’s also plenty of other things.  Three of those things, I think are really cool. Today is World Storytelling Day! Today is the birthday of Frederick W. Taylor [...]

curing your appetite for fallacies

“A fallacy is a kind of error in reasoning…”

best slippery slope ever

best slippery slope ever “Why shouldn’t I work for the N.S.A.? That’s a tough one, but I’ll take a shot. Say I’m working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I’m real happy with myself, [...]
