… because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
Revenue is a big carrot to ignore, especially when its potential is removed altogether.
Not Again?
Only 12% of people solve this in under 30 seconds …
Say the opposite of these 6 words:
- Always
- Coming
- From
- Take
- Me
- Down
Arrgghh …
… well, enjoy it while you can!
Compliments of a random tweet.

Are you ready for a challenging puzzle?
Make sure you have your thinking cap on for this one. It will challenge your senses … and perhaps your morals. You will need to really think outside the box and be on a roll to solve this connundrum.
When you are ready just click on the “Open Puzzle” link.

The Power of a Punctuated Yet
Adding “yet” to a statement can create potential. Just think of what you can accomplish by adding this word (with a comma) to a simple statement. You might also notice doing so will often change a negative into a positive. For example:
I am not a guitar virtuoso, yet.
Let’s try one with an exclamation mark:
You have never seen an Easter Rat, yet!
Now, let’s really punch it up and add an ellipsis (…) to the mix:
WordPress does not run every website … yet!
Aside from the little bit of whimsy above, what examples can you think of to generate great positive potential with a little word and a bit of punctuation?
The Internet Vote
Election Day is soon upon us; and, one of the key issues is the matter of Internet access and pricing policies of service providers.
OpenMedia.ca has been working hard to champion the cause of bringing this information to light so voters can make an informed decision with their next federal election vote. To that point, a letter to the Conservative Party representative in your local riding can be sent from their site. Here is the boilerplate text of the letter (please note you are able to change this at their site):
The Conservative Party of Canada is the one party that has not responded to the Digital Future Survey put out by OpenMedia.ca. Canadians want to learn more about where all the parties stand on rising Internet fees. By refusing to answer us, you are leaving voters in the dark.
When your party stood up against the pay meter on our Internet this winter I thought you were on our side. In flippantly dismissing the Digital Future Survey, the Conservatives are giving the cold shoulder not only to the half-a-million Canadians who signed the Stop The Meter petition, but to all voters concerned with Canada’s digital future. Please put pressure on your party leaders to respond to citizens, and clarify the Conservative vision for Canada’s digital future.
Your party’s positions (or lack thereof) on key Internet issues will help guide my voting decision.
Right now you have a unique opportunity to let voters know where you stand, and I want to hear from you.
I want to know that, if elected, you will stop the pay meter on our Internet and work to increase Internet access, competition, transparency, and choice. And I want to know how.
Please become a pro-Internet candidate, and ask your party to let citizens in on the Conservative plan for Canada’s digital future.
Vote Responsibly!
The Ballonist
This is just a little something I found in my inbox earlier this week. Please note this is not exactly family friendly so it requires an extra click to read:

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: ‘Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don’t know where I am …’
The man below replied, ‘You’re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.’
‘You must be an Engineer,’ said the balloonist.
‘I am,’ replied the man, ‘how did you know?’
‘Well,’ answered the balloonist, ‘everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I’ve no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help at all. If anything, you’ve delayed my trip by your talk.’
The man below responded, ‘You must be in Management.’
‘I am,’ replied the balloonist, ‘but how did you know?’
‘Well,’ said the man, ‘you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you’ve no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it’s my fucking fault.’
PS: This may just be another excuse for me to use my BNS Inline Asides plugin; but, it is also yet another example of what it can be used for.
