Dead, Outtahere, Felis

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

With the addition of dead, outtahere, and felis, the overhaul of core glyphs in man@machine is nearly complete. Toggle to see the archived, crappy versions. :)

Also, you can still win a free man@machine t-shirt by posting the the best Buddhist quote relevant to computers and technology.

Worker’s Diary

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

Act without doing;
Work without effort.
Think of the small as large
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;
Accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.

Being on the telephone does not mean I’m working hard. The papers all over my desk don’t make me busy. Putting in overtime doesn’t mean I’m getting things done. Running around does not make me productive, and barking orders doesn’t mean I’m in charge.

If a routine job consistently requires extra time to complete, then there is something wrong with the job or with the way in which it is completed. “Overtime” is not to be admired–it is to be shunned as a salute to inefficiency. The best worker appears to be doing nothing at all. The best leader does not need to give orders.

And of course, the best “meeting” is one that never takes place. :)

Buddha

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

A new version of Buddha (with much improved posture) has been added to Man@Machine as the overhaul continues. A free t-shirt to whoever posts the best Buddhist quote somehow pertaining to technology or computers.

Terms and conditions of contest subject to Mattdude’s whims. :)

Beat

Friday, June 1st, 2007

Getting up and moving to the couch is just too much work sometimes. Pass out where you sit, I say. The overhaul of Man@Machine continues with an updated verson of Beat.

“Hey, it just sounds to me like you need to unplug, man. You know, get some R & R.”
