Here are a few links.
- Interesting article on psychopaths I loved this quote, "It could even be argued that the criteria used by corporations to find effective managers actually select specifically for psychopathic traits: characteristics such as charisma, self-centeredness, confidence, and dominance are highly correlated with the psychopathic personality, yet also highly sought after in potential leaders. It was not until recent years—in the wake of some well-publicized scandals involving corporate psychopaths—that many corporations started to reconsider these promotion policies." I can say I've ever worked for a psychopath yet, although I've heard the horror stories.
- The Feltron Report 2008. Instead of a form Christmas letter, this guy packages up his year in corporate annual report form.
- Scoble write about "What to do if you’re laid off in 2008 recession" There is a ton of good advice, although I've never heard of someone who can continue to go to the office after they are laid off.
- 40 years of driving on the right side in SwedenEvidently Sweden switched the side of the road they drive on in 1967. Who knew? What if the US decided to start driving on the left? Ron Paul should look into that. I think you might be able to accomplish this in Minnesota if you had to given our large Swedish population, but the rest of the country would be a steaming wreck.
