New Math

Craig Damrauer is a genius. He has a very simple and basic theme going at his website. And that's what makes it genius. He converts social phenomena into math formulas like this one: So check Craig's site out! And yes, I consider myself a contrarian at times. //jan

Job interview a la Monty Python

This was heavy irony in the 70's. I'm thinking that this acutally would be a good test of management capability today. How to cope with uncertainty and moving outside one's comfort zone, etc. //jan
