Paperless Magazines Are Now

Since I started blogging, my relationship with the many magazines in my life has become a lot more complicated. Sometimes I’ll finish reading one with the thought that I could find much better content, perhaps even presentation, online whereas other publications inspire admiration bordering on envy. Blogs and magazines are different animals, this is […]

Two-Face 2

You may remember the picture of Two-Face the Cat I posted recently. The image has raised deeply felt concerns that Two-Face is actually the result of two cats’ faces that have been Photoshopped together in an attempt to pass as one cat.

Plastic Bag Subway Animals

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin - bloggers censoring feedback

The Carriage Horses of New York City

For decades, horse-drawn carriages have been a popular tourist attraction in New York City’s Central Park.

The Elephant, the Ant, and the iPhone

When Bruce Nussbaum called out the iPhone platform as a pillar to fight recession, and then defended his selection by pointing to Kleiner Perkin’s iFund, he committed a classic error in assessing innovation opportunity: he focused on the elephant, and overlooked the ant. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to visit with an […]

Cat Blogging: Farewell to the Fuzz Family

In the April of 1992 a little gray cat stowed her 5 kittens on my parents’ back porch. The gray cat (no name that I ever heard) was one of our neighbor’s barn cats and a prodigous hunter. Another barn cat, Ginger, had two other kittens, a little older than these five, […]

I gather that if one shows people a truly random sequence of numbers, they will “discover” in that […]
