I found this picture of a uniquely beautiful rose.

I just read an interesting article in the New Yorker about Intellectual Ventures, a company that brings various groups of smart people together and has them discuss problems and solutions, then patents the ideas.

I would be very interested in having a similar group myself, perhaps one that meets once a week. Would anyone be interested in joining me?… read more “Idea Invention Group”

For those of you who have been following my blog, you know that my flag football team went undefeated this season and won our first playoff game. Unfortunately, we were defeated in the semi-finals tonight. If we had won we would have gone to the championship game.

During Memorial Day weekend, I visited Pike Place Market with some friends of mine. Good times.

… also known as “Salesman”.

My company now has decided to give all of it’s sales people the title of “Associate Vice-President of Business Development” apparently in an attempt to make them sound more important when they try to sell our products. I guess it makes sense since we are selling to high level customers, but still it is a little bit ridiculous.

I just visited Google and noticed that something didn’t look quite right… then I looked up at the Favicon (the little icon next the page title on the top bar) and discovered it was different!

Here is Google’s new favicon:

The Favicon is that little icon to the right of http://www.google.com.

I don’t remember what their old favicon was.… read more “New Favicon For Google”
