This is a triumph of mediocrity over excellence. For those of you who work in the broadcasting buisness know what I am talking about. Great people are put down and the mediocres are promoted!!!

This is just a dancing show which in the overall scheme of things really does not matter who wins or loses. But what a sad day that we reward mediocrity over excellence so other people have a chance to compete. Unless there is proof that sabrina has had some kind of professional dance training, there is no reason that she should been been voted out. But wait a minute, she was voted out by some dumb and mediocre people.

I am not very good at thinking about 3 dimensional concepts for instance I have a hard time taking a 2D drawing or map with contours and thinking about it as a 3 dimensional object or surface. Any tips or ideas to practice or learn to think in 3D?

Doesn't Murphy's law tell you that these powers will be inappropriately used ?

For computer programming, do changes to the development method work ?
One might ask "Does outsourcing of computer programming work ?", but it's not only "outsourcing" that is the problem, it's "(wrong) changes to the development method".

If you outsource a 1 line change of code, you are really outsourcing a big job.

You are outsourcing the infrastructure.

If you're not careful, you will be outsourcing "bodgie little changes" to your system.

Why even bother to outsource ? Why not just disband much of the infrastructure of your organisation and issue "bodgie little changes" to your software, whenever required.

Outsourcing a one-line code change can be like outsourcing work involved in defusing a bomb. Pay someone to cut that orange wire.

I can always start something, but never finish it. I want to write and I've actually written a few things, but I've never actually finished any of them.

I write a lot, and I get through about three fourths of the story and by then though I'm not as enthusiastic about it. I have no one to motivate me at home--or anyone else for that matter. And it's really hard for me to actually go through and finish something because of that fact.

How do you keep your eye on the prize? I really want to finish something for once. And no that's not motivating enough. I need something that will keep me working.
