If you ever wished to know a little more about “Stopover.CA”, here is a portion of our prospectus for our next ABM.

“Think fractal. Think B2C. Think cross-platform. But don’t think all three at the same time.”

And,

“We will widen our capacity to brand without depreciating our capability to embrace. The metrics factor can be summed up in one word: revolutionary. Think cyber-transparent.”

much more foolishness like this at the “The corporate gibberish generator”

why? … well if Jesus is CEO, I better learn to talk the talk.

here is a quick flash animation, that highlights the stereotyped differences between Italy and the rest of Europe … it is amusing, and also reminds me of many of the stereotypes that we have with other nations

I recently read M. Scott Pecks book Glimpses of the Devil where he shares his experience as a psychologist, dealing with two cases where he works with demonically possessed people. Controversial (and spooky) as the subject matter may be, I love his style. His thoughts are a no-nonsense, fully intelligent as well as faith-based approach to the realities of evil. I found the book helpful in realising the realities of evil. I recommend it.

Now, for the tangent, at the end of the book he references his personality type, as Myers-Briggs would describe it. I had not taken the test for almost a decade or so, and I thought it would be fun to check out just who I am again. I always think it a great idea to let a test determine my personality and future choices.

You may have recognised from my words that I do not hold these things as holy writ, but I do enjoy the snapshot aspect of glancing at my personality in a mirror for a moment. I feel that these tests when used properly can be helpful, but should not determine your life. They merely reflect your present, providing clarity for the next steps into your future.

Here is a great tool that I often use for a get-to-know your team time. I call it BIG LIES.

The concept is simple. Write down three statements about yourself, the catch is that one of the statements is true, while the other two are complely false. The team then votes to determine the true statement. Here are a couple of examples. Remember only one of these statements are true

1. I have eaten dog in China and loved it.
2. I have eaten crocodile in Kenya and liked it.
3. I have eaten mouse on a stick in Malawi and hated it.

here is another.

1. I have played tug of war with a tiger
2. I have owned 7 dogs
3. I have hit a bear with my car

hit the more link for the answers.

I recently had written a couple of ‘sorta’ similes, here another ‘sorta’ similes that a friend of mine used in a sermon recently.

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.

I just found www.postsecret.blogspot.com, the site is almost best thought of as a confessional booth. A place that strangers send postcards with their thoughts, from the pithy to the profound.

It is too easy to bring in the wrong cultural understanding …

“American Motors tried to market its new car, the Matador, based on the image of courage and strength. However, in Puerto Rico the name means “killer” and was not popular on the hazardous roads in the country.”
