linklings 10,000 B.C. edition

Started by Steve @ bripblap · 10 months ago

I’ve been reading the “Children of the Earth” books (you probably heard of the first one, “Clan of the Cave Bear,” the train wreck movie starring Darryl Hannah, but there is a whole series of books and they are quite interesting) ... Continue reading »

    That's a great list -- thanks for including IttyBiz! That's all I'm going to say... I have reading to do. :-)

    Thanks for the links. My wife came up with the blog name after Mr. Cheap and I joined forces...and yes, it was definitely a play on the movie name (which I also recommend).

    I'm glad you liked the post on returns.

    Great roundup!

    Thanks for the link! I loved Clan of the Cavebear... Funny that you linked that article by PT - I love her as well, but that's one article that was just over my head.

    You read a lot of blogs. I've never heard any colleague use the term "big picture", or any of those BS-bingo terms really. You'd get laughed out of the place for saying something like that in my office.

    One of the longest living technological artifacts of this civilization is ceramics (plastic is gone within a few hundred years). In a couple of thousand years when everything else has decayed, the ceramics will still be found in our landfills. Someone will look at our toilet bowls and wonder what we did with them.

    Thanks all - G416, you clearly don't work for an American corporation then. My whole day is filled with the gentle lilting of buzzwords - "big picture", "deep dive", "conceptualization", "prioritization" and on and on and on. It's numbing, but one of my all-time horror phrases is "big picture." Me, personally, I am a big picture guy. I think past the details. But you want to know what that means, really? Translation: I get bored with details. Stop. Not a good characteristic for the corporate cog :)

    @ERE: Don't get me started. I shudder to think what future generations will think of mercury/silver/crapfilled cell phones and iPods and teeth and whatnot...
