Comment on Life On A Barge by Don Horton

Don Horton — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:44:50 +0000

You guys missed out on barges. Try going back some 70 years ago and look at what took place on barges. I have a web site about barges somewhat at usmmv.blogspot.com. We were a group of about 30,000 seamen, some elderly and disabled, some school children and some were women. Look at that lifestyle and try to put your self in their shoes if you want to know about barges. Just a thought.

Comment on Knowing When To Stop by Warsha Bhatia

Perfection depends on perception too …

One way I sell the “good enough” to my management is by INSISTING that the core solution be built and tested first. This way we can launch any time … as the deadline nears & if there are roadblocks to completion, we launch with the basic service and no one complains.

Comment on “…I’ll never go hungry again” by BurressMom247

I’m a 27 year old woman and I have to thank my grandmother who was raised in Georgia for introducing me to this movie. It is my favorite, and I have most of the collectibles. Now my eldest daughter loves Gone with the Wind. I will be depressed if someone tries to remake this classic movie. You can’t redo a classic. My husband goes crazy when I tell him, “I’ll think about it tomorrow.” Then he tells me, “Then that’s your misfortune.”

Comment on No Public Privacy by Michelle Muir

Chuck- The town worked with the general assembly to pass legislation, and these lists are no longer provided. To comply with public records laws, people can review the emails on a paper list kept at town hall. That is not to say that some of the previous lists won’t be used in the future, but hopefully we’ve seen an end to this kind of distribution.

Comment on Dressing For Success by Michael Keen

Amen on this post. I work in IT at the Enterprise Architcture and Stategist level and am always in a suit without a tie (I always carry one with me though just in case) and a constantly shined pair of Black or Dark Burgundy Johnston & Murphys. I can’t stand to see high level IT guys in polo shirts and khakis. The quote of “dress for the job you want not the one you currently have” is key!!!

Great Post. Yes Dressing well and taking care of your shoes is a must. Train stations also give very good shoe shines. I’ve heard about the stand in St. Louis Airport but there also is another great shine stand in Washington DC’s Union Station Amtrak train station. It’s a place called The Union Station Shoe Shine. They really pay attention to detail and analyze you shoe to give it the treatment that it needs.

Comment on Software and… Elvis? by William Travis Robison

I suppose this comment is a fe3 years too late to be timely, but setting the record straight is a better late than never sort of task… Anyway, that velvet Elvis you’ve got featured here as an example of assembly line ‘art’ production isn’t actually that. In fact none of the velvet paintings produced in Tijuana, Mexico in the last two or three decades at least have been anything of the sort, but instead each of them, was actually hand-painted by a single individual professional Mexican Velvet Elvis artist.. You pictured Velvet Elvis was painted by one of a set of four velvet painting brothers… Ricardo Terrones. His other brothers–Jorge, Arturo and Gerardo also paint the black velvet in Tijuana. In fact, Jorge is often called the Audobon of Black Velvet–mostly by me–for being an exceptional wild life painter… his White Tigers on Black Velvet will stop you in your tracks, but in a good way.

Anyway, just wanted to un-denigrate hard-working painter Ricardo Terrones’s good name. Carry on.
