CharacterFabio Capello is a man who knows what he's talking about.
Current manager of England's national football team, he's won titles with Real Madrid, Juventus, Roma and Milan - and the Champions League to boot.
When England wanted the man to fix their woes... they called Fabio Capello.
So far, he's delivered the ...

Now we can play, tooI got my first email from an MLA the other day.
I didn't recognize it in the inbox, but when I clicked on it I saw that it was a form response to a petition that I had supported.
I say 'supported' because, well... I never actually signed anything. The whole thing ...

Musings on SportRight now the Olympics are going on, and if I have to say one thing about the Olympics, it is that they are old. We've been mucking with sport for a long time. What I don't get is, "Why?"
I think there's probably a couple posts worth on this topic, but ...

Complaining about broken softwareThis is an angry post.
Recently Facebook "updated" its interface. I noticed no great improvement, but the bugs really riled me. Try to write a comment... doesn't work. Okay then.
When I logged in to my yahoo mail, there was a little box asking me, "What are you doing right now?"
Do you ...

It was only a matter of time...before someone did this:
Please rob me searches twitter for tweets that indicate someone is not at home.
It's made the news; a lot of the news. You've probably already read about it before you read this post. My first thought is, "Darn, I should have done this." Hopefully it raises public ...

This is a postI feel bad that there aren't very many new posts, so...
Here everyone is!
I'm almost finished my Time Management analysis, so I think I'll do a final wrap up (while leaving things open to possible future musings).

WOTD – PortentiousA dump from my cubicle's white-plank.
Portentious
comes from - 'portend'.
'por' - a variation on the prefix 'pro', meaning 'go forward'. Think 'protrude, protract' vs 'extrude, retract,extract'
'tend' - from 'tendere', meaning to stretch or reach. Think 'extend'.
Therefore - Portentious - forward stretching, or foretelling. Reaching beyond the present.
Completely unrelated to:
'important'
Once you dig ...

Timey Time TimeWherefore art thou, Time?
A little classic literature today. Aren't we all looking out the balcony longing for a little more time? But Romeo and Juliet is just so... sappy idealized. I like the practicality of Mr. Micawber.
"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness.
Annual income twenty ...
