>Your top clicks should wrap in the box, not bleed off the edge ( though I wouldn’t have a clue how to fix it ;o

The top clicks widget is a WPDOTCOM problem. I keep pinging them about it. If I didn’t think it was valuable, I’d have dropped it. Argh!

Annoying but it’s valuable to the site visitor.

RANT: “three straight days” but what did you do in the evenings?

HEADLINE ON DRUDGE

*** begin quote ***

Laurie David on Kerry’s 2004 loss: I ‘cried for three straight days. I couldn’t stop’…

*** end quote ***

Oh come one. Give me a break. Get a life.

Does ANYONE really believe “three days straight”?

I question why success in Hollywood or marrying right give ANYONE the right to LECTURE us on anything! Certain making over-the-top statements doesn’t incline me to listen to them seriously.

The death of a child, a loved one, a natural disaster … things to be sad about. A politician … please.

I don’t think it is possible to “cry for three days straight”. Humans aren’t build that way. We eat, we drink, we poop, we laff, we cry. Three days? Come on.

For Drudge to highlight it, is to showcase the fool.

Judge: Sheriff Andy No Harm to Actor

*** begin quote ***

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A man who changed his name to Andy Griffith and ran for sheriff did not harm the actor who played Mayberry’s folksy sheriff on the “Andy Griffith Show,” a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge John Shabaz on Friday dismissed the lawsuit brought by Andy Samuel Griffith, who played Sheriff Andy Taylor on the popular 1960s TV series.

*** end quote ***

Whatever his name was lost.

Fooling people, or being “cute”, is a waste of time.

PRODUCTIVITY: Lessons are where you find them

Leadership lessons from movie director’s comments

***End Quote***

I always enjoy Kent’s blog. That’s why it’s in my HOF roll on the side. (That’s probably a misnomer. Since there’s no “hall” and very little “fame” to be garnered here.)

I think the essence of this “tip” is to always be aware of lessons, where you find them, what you take them from then, and what you actually do with them. Many of the gurus always cite the need to obsess about the “Customer”.

A “Customer” may NOT be what you are thinking. Stretch you thinking. It can be a Colleague at work to whom you say “good job”. That’s a “Customer” for your leadership offering.

imho
