Anonymously Obvious
A friend drew my attention to this Dilbert cartoon. Of course, I would have seen it eventually on my desktop widget!
This sure sounds familiar (you know who you are).

Aug 2010 19-year-old in surgery after horrific I-675 crash
By Kelli Wynn, Staff Writer Updated 5:34 PM Monday, August 23, 2010BEAVERCREEK — A 19-year-old Mason man driving south on Interstate 675 on Monday morning near the Indian Ripple Road exit crashed his car into an overpass, breaking the car into pieces and shutting down traffic for five hours.
The driver has been identified as Brennan S. Eden. He was undergoing surgery as of 4 p.m. Monday.
The specific cause of the crash has not yet been determined, but Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Fellure said crash investigators are looking into whether speed played a factor. The investigators also will test for alcohol, which is a routine procedure.
Eden was seriously injured and flown to Miami Valley Hospital via a CareFlight helicopter, according to Fellure.
The accident happened about 7:15 a.m. Monday, Aug,. 23. Eden was driving a 1985 Pontiac Firebird south along the highway when the car went left of center and struck a culvert, which launched the car into the air until it struck the Wagner Road overpass. The Firebird disintegrated into many pieces. Eden was ejected and came to rest on the right berm of southbound I-675.
Investigators don’t know how fast Eden was driving but suspect he was traveling in excess of the 65 mph speed limit.

Changes - David Bowie
Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But stil the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the stranger
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace I'm going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

Co-produced by Jamie and film/television music veteran and producer Kevin Harris and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Brian Gardner (No Doubt/Christina Aguilera/Avril Lavigne), A Moment to Break showcases six songs spanning the best of Jamie’s already-vast catalogue. From the inquisitive “I’m Trying” (one of the very first songs Jamie ever wrote – fresh out of high school) to the autobiographical “Waste It on You” (“a raw, emotionally honest work”), Jamie’s EP is a brilliant encapsulation of a fresh young talent on the verge of super-stardom.

Aug 2010 Google to abandon ‘Wave’ project
Google to abandon ‘Wave’ project
By Richard Waters in San Francisco
Published: August 5 2010 00:33 | Last updated: August 5 2010 00:33
Google on Wednesday called an end to its ambitious Wave project, an online collaboration service that it once hailed as a potential replacement for e-mail. The service, launched with great fanfare a year ago, will be closed at the end of this year, though the technology behind it could be used in future Google projects, the company said.
Wave marked an attempt to reinvent e-mail by allowing a group of users to communicate and share information simultaneously in the same workspace on the Web. Its most eye-catching innovation was a feature that let users see what others were writing in real time, character by character. However, the service was deemed too complicated by many users, and earlier this year Google said it planned to simplify the service.

Jul 2010 Signal Your Intent
I've been traveling quite a bit this summer. In a three day period last week I drove more than 1900 miles. Just yesterday I headed south from Dayton, Ohio to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. One constant that I see is that very few (VERY FEW) drivers signal their intent to change lanes.
I know that when I was taught to drive the instructor would say, "if you're going into a different lane than you are now driving, you MUST signal first. If you are turning from one street to another, you MUST signal first. If you are pulling to the side of the road, you MUST signal first." I guess you get the point.
In Conversation
This makes me wonder how often we don't signal our intent during conversation. How often have you been talking with someone and you find that the topic has taken a sudden turn? Did you know this was happening? Or are you in a moment of complete disconnect, because you are still thinking of responses from the previous train of thought? Do you sometimes find yourself clarifying their last statement because you haven't a clue about what they are now saying? How often does this lead to argument at home -- for no apparent reason than two people have gone two completely different directions. You don't necessarily disagree with each other; you simply don't know what the other person is saying. You weren't told the conversation was going elsewhere.
In Presentation
This same dilemma can affect the comprehension of your content when you are presenting a class, workshop, or even a proposal. If you haven't told your listeners that you are going to switch lanes -- or that you are taking a sidebar -- or that you have moved beyond the last topic of learning, they will likely become confused. Is your key message going to be lost because they don't know how to connect it to the thread that they thought was still taking place?
Give Fair Warning
In most cases, when we signal our intent we are warning the people around us that the environment is changing. It gives them a chance to slow down, to look around, or to clear their mind to prepare for the change. When the people on the road have switched lanes without warning, others become angry, get confused or even create dangerous situations that could result in tragedy.
If you are moving another direction, do the right thing. Signal your intent.

Jul 2010 Rehearsing for the Album
Tom Davis and I have been rehearsing songs for the album. It is good to work with a drummer. We're coming up with some great ideas for the tunes as we rehearse. I'm sure that some of the songs will be a surprise to those people that have only heard the acoustic versions.
