Client: “No way. I don’t want that.”
Me: “Why not? its great!”
Client: “My wife has it on her website and she only gets 50 hits a month. No thanks. Get me something else.”

I was involved in the redesign of the BeachBelievers.com, quite a unique website, where people can review beaches they have visited. It has a huge selection of beaches with images, description and their location on a map.
Do you love beaches? I think, at least you should take a look at this website, or if you feel more generous, it would be great if you would contribute to it by adding a review or picture to a beach you have visited. In case the beach is not in the database, you can create a profile for that beach.
A NEW FORM OF FACEBOOK SPAM - I just noticed today a new form of Facebook spam. I don’t think it’s a new trick since I saw at least on two occasions. By navigating to a page that one of your friends has marked with a “Like”, you get to a page that has a warning message asking for clicking three buttons in order to see the content. By clicking the buttons, you actually “Like” that page and it will show up in your time-line as a like. The two examples that I have run into are: Social Network Movie and Top 100 Hottest Women in The World HOW TO FIX IT? In case you were tricked by them, it’s not the end of the World, but it would be nice if you would go to that page and unlike it, as well as delete the like from your time-line. It will avoid spreading among your contacts these dubious pages. Cheers!

I do like Google Street View and I use it often, but this video is too funny!
A few years ago I used to work for company that at the time was in rapid expansion. I still remember the day when I had my interview for the job, I was conducted to a conference room that had an amazing view over the Old Port of Montreal, the office being on the 28th floor, you were treated with an amazing panorama.
The conference room had a table for eight people and soon after I was hired, the management decided to order a longer table. They went with a company that custom builds high quality office furniture.
We were soon visited by an employee of the furniture company who took all the measurements of the conference, talked to the administration to learn all the requirements, and he was diligently taking notes and drawing up sketches.
In a couple of weeks, the furniture company delivered our brand new, custom built, $10.000 value conference table. Only after arriving downstairs, they realized that the top part of the table that was built in one piece and it would not fit in the elevator.
They had to cut it in two and come up with new solutions for assembling it. No need to say the value of the table has dropped significantly at the door of the elevator.
How many projects go wrong, because project managers focus too much on the requirements and they ignore the limitations of delivering it? How many projects go longer and create more loss than profit for a company, because overlooking a small detail, that can prove to be fatal?
Amy Davidson on Wikileaks and the War:
“…a leak informing us that our tax dollars may be being used as seed money for a protection racket associated with a narcotics-trafficking enterprise is a good leak to have. And the checkpoint incident is, again, only one report, from one day…
…One…
