Beer, Links, Penance and the Indigo Girls...
OK, TSO, since you mentioned it, and I have been thinking that my links list is in dire need of updating (I am zapping a couple of broken links, for instance), it is time to list Video meliora, proboque; Deteriora sequor. It is a generally fun read, and is written by a country music fan (who is to be forgiven his liking of the Indigent Girls just this once).
He should note that what really impresses me is not his Latin title. Anyone can quote Latin, but his references to TQM, which is one of the more idiotic management fads to come down the pike. I was somewhat involved in TQM implementation in the 1990's, and could barely keep a straight face then. It is funny how being "big in Japanese businesses" has lost a bit of its lustre.
