Addicted to the Internetz

So True…

The Notting Hill Carnival

For the past few months I haven’t been having difficulty in choosing ideas for photography. So after looking around for inspiration and advice from the internetz, I decided to embark on a project called the 100 Steps.

Carnival

Fortunately deciding the location was easy, what better place to click photographs than at the Notting Hill Carnival on the Bank Holiday Monday, when the main parade was taking place.

It was a bright sunny day and the weather was perfect for the samba schools of London and from some Caribbean / Latin American nations to strut their stuff.

The Floats, the music, the block parties and  the experience was well worth the IMG_65183 mile walk about.

 

 

I still haven’t figured out a place to upload all the pics, but for now they will be parked on my Flickr account.

How to Stay Awake in Boring Meetings

I got this is my inbox at work today just in time for a major meeting coming up next week!


Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) the next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5" x 5" is a good size.

2. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.

3. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
Synergy, strategic fit, core competencies, best practice, bottom line, revisit, expeditious, to tell you the truth (or "the truth is), 24/7, out of the loop, benchmark, value-added, proactive, win-win, think outside the box, fast track, result-driven, knowledge base, at the end of the day, touch base, mind-set, client focus(ed), paradigm, game plan, leverage.

4. Now check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

5. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally stand up and shout !!


 

Am off to give this a try! :P

I found this earlier today which stumbling across the internet. I’m sure we all have had such moments at work!

I’ve always been a great fan of Daryl Cagle and his flair for political satire in the form of a cartoon. Over time, many of his creations have been posted on my blog and this his is most recent one.

Don’t get me wrong… the recent floods in Pakistan are tragic, but Daryl couldn’t have said it any better.
