Blog stuff I enjoyed over the last few days (Oct 07 2003 23:37 GMT) - These are a couple things I enjoyed, but haven't had time to say more about: Joi Ito's: Stealth Disco'ed by Halley (which, btw, if you haven't also seen, builds on Joi's earlier posts on Stealth Disco, My First Stealth Disco and SD2). [SD2 is my favorite so far] Also from Joi: Do Not Call 317-816-9336, which is about Dave Barry posting the phone number for the American Teleservices Association, a telemarketing company, and lots of people subsequently calling them at inconvenient times . |

Drinking at Lunch (Oct 07 2003 23:36 GMT) - Now I've never been much of a daytime drinker - I get terrible mid-afternoon hangovers, as well as the anti-bonus of lost focus at work etc. Its just not something I like to do, even at the weekend. However, many people on Friday lunchtimes like to leave their place of work and have a pub lunch. This has always confused me. Not in terms of the employees having a pint or two at lunch - but in terms of the employers. |

David proves he's very interesting, yesterday. [1] comment. |
