Big media has surrendered
>bt: Sharia Law Comes West:
"In other words, after just a few days of rioting, the media has already bent over, surrendered, and accepted Sharia law as the arbiter of its editorial decisions.Thought provoking.
Our media has just taught a valuable lesson to the various interest groups of the world: if you want to control how your group is covered, be as threatening and violent as possible."

Press # to Confirm
David Weinberger writes about standard phone trees:
Paul English at GetHuman in his blog muses that we should come up with a standard phone tree, such as:Obvious.0 for operator, 1 for customer service, 2 for sales, 3 for billing questions, etc. Then I would never have to listen to the stupid "Your call is important to us" nonsense. The * key might always mean go back and the # key might always mean confirm. Or something like that.He proposes a company that conforms to this to-be-invented phone tree could play a little musical sequence at the beginning of the call to let us know that we can just punch the standard numbers.
Joe Harry Window
The complex, energetic, organised, responsive, cheerful, and dependable Abby just pointed me to her Johari window. I remember this vaugely from school.
Thanks!
The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.If you know me in real life or are a regular reader, head over to my Joe Harry Window at Steve Garfield's Johari Window and follow the instructions.
Thanks!
