Well, the study involved commuters so the conversations would tend to fall into the "killing time" end of the spectrum - you seem to talking about striking up a conversation at a book signing or concert or theatre experience, where the event itself builds a common framework.

OMG OMG Hoyt!

I'll give you that point but I sincerely hope you're savvy enough to understand when I answer your question briefly and turning my music back on or go back to reading, I'm saying "I'd rather be alone with my thoughts, thanks." Because I have had to say that out loud in the past.

How so? Rugby's a great sport - mainly because it's non-stop action. World Cup is ok (heck, we flew to Wales to see Canada play in 2007) but NRL is the stuff! This clip is from an AFL game - Brian Lake got a 4wk suspension for it. And it's NOT usual behavior - the boys play rough but that was a little over the…

Gotta love Aussie rugby, eh?

I'll be there in a bit, I'm having a ... discussion... with some co-workers.

Naomi Grossman's Pepper again - a link back to "Asylum"

He made me cry and you're gonna make me start again.

I'm gonna miss that scream, really I am. She's like family.

"Engagement" is the new "paradigm" - a buzzword management picked up from HR consultants — oops "talent-strategists" Management gets a set of easily remembered sound bites they can toss out and feel they're somehow in control. We don't have a management problem, the drones just aren't engaged.

We've never had to fly to the next 'stop' (so this only works if you're driving to the new place, I guess) but we have always moved with a small (rental) van and taken the minimal needs (including a futon.) It's enough clothing, a place to sleep, a place to sit, the computers (which I'd never trust a moving company…

Google Now has let me do this verbally since it kicked it. "Remind me to get carrots at XYZ supermarket" It offers the one closest at that moment but a list of the others in case. Choose one BAM when I'm near the entrance it fires.

This isn't my vacation week
