VVG. 16 Jun 2010.

Something about this snap reminded me of Vincent Van Gogh and Arles… The colour of the fields, I suppose. I took it on the way up. Yes.

Grumpy’s. 16 Jun 2010.

In all of it’s grandeur, I present… Grumpy’s in panoramic view. Great vibe. Great burgers.

Oochie gets some metal. My dog Oochie developed an ACL rupture. She’s 11 – so surgery was a tough decision. Unrepaired, the rupture would become a tear and the spiral downward, inevitably.

Napoleonic Matrix. 26 May 2010.

Napoleon used these matrices to determine people with poor soldiering characteristics. It is an interesting matrix for organisational behaviour as well. Try to guess which employee or ‘soldier’ is the worst candidate for an organisation. Is it the candidate that is: a. Lazy and Smart? b. Lazy and Stupid? c. Hardworking and Smart? d. HardworkingContinue reading “Napoleonic Matrix. 26 May 2010.”
