Some of you will cringe at these. Get over it. Some books are not worth the paper they’re printed on.
This Into That is the web page of artist Jim Rosenau. He makes shelves and furniture (okay, small furniture) out of books.
“Who Done It?”
Best use for deckle-edge books, IMHO. “Steps To Better Reading”
“Clearing the air” (Okay, […]

Part of the culture change meeting included a discussion of Covey’s Law of Reciprocity and his “emotional bank account” concept. If you’re unfamiliar with these, Terry Bragg’s website can clue you in.
You should probably read that website before you continue, if you’re completely in the dark.
The nutshell version is “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch […]

The launch of the new place suffered from bad timing.
I ended up taking meds for seasonal allergies–and slept all day Saturday. Once I woke up, I had laundry and work to do.
We left early Sunday morning to go to a butterfly house 2.5 hours away. The photography club had arranged for us to have two […]

I bought the complete back issue collection of The Type Reporter a week ago. It arrived Saturday–a bulging three-inch three-ring binder of newsletters from 1984 to now. (I also subscribed to the newsletter, so I can keep current.) I think it could have been split between two 2.5-inch binders with no problem!
It’s amazing. I don’t […]

As small groups, we discussed why the venture might fail. Responses ranged from lack of visible senior organizational support to the classification/compensation study last year. The consultants leading the kickoff referenced doubts we may have–management gimmick “flavor of the month” […]

The December 2006 issue of the Journal of Psychological Type, which is published by the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, presented a study suggesting that folks diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome might actually be unrecognized/undeveloped IxTPs. One of the points the author discusses is that mothers of kids diagnosed with the syndrome seem to prefer […]

That sums it up.
I started back to school in fall 2005. The first semester was good–a bit redundant, considering what I’ve done for a living, but good. I did learn new processes.
The second semester I took two classes. That was a mistake. The workload would not have been so bad…except in one class I had […]

A friend of ours has found a boyfriend! She advertised in the Montana Craig’s List (of all places) hoping to snare a cowboy.
It seems she’s snagged herself an INTx.
I’m happy for her. We spent some time talking about that (Washington DC girl meets Montana) and about some other things I knew she could provide some […]
