Feeling Brevity\’s Pull
My first post for this little website measured in at a cool 807 words. I was always more of a bullet-point guy than a screeder, but, even so, my posts from that era routinely topped 1,000 words. In 2003, at roughly the same time, we introduced both the Gambit and the Forum. The former was…

A Serious Man
So I watched A Serious Man last night, fully expecting to like it. And I mean obviously it was well done, and clever, and it\’s the Coen Brothers, and I usually like what they do, and you all know I like a good dark comedy. But it was seriously (pun intended) depressing, and the ending…

In The News: You Could Do Better Edition
‘Kick-Ass’ star, 19, engaged to 43-year-old was the headline. Now I\’m not one to look down my nose at older women scooping up younger men. The double standard of older men and young women has been in place far too long. But dude… you really could do better. It\’s one thing for a young guy…

Email Management
The other day I asked my manager to forward me some information on a new project that I would be leading. She was unable to send it to me for days because she was in what we affectionately refer to as: Email Jail.

In The News: Frightening Edition
