Had a thought the other day. Pretty sure one could write an algorithmic redistricting app that was agnostic about party affiliation. Maybe that's the answer to gerrymandering.#
For $2.7 million an open non-profit place-of-record for web writing could have been launched. A level playing field for journalism and civic writing. It's enough money to have done something great. The Correspondent wasted it. Next time "members" will be more circumspect#
In my career I can't tell you how many times people said they don't have to listen to me because I'm not relevant anymore. That always seems to end in failure, because there's no good reason not to seek out free advice, it can help you avoid pitfalls. If you fancy yourself an entrepreneur or an innovator you must absorb info and perspective like a sponge. Don't ever think you're so successful or smart that you might not be missing something huge. I was taught this early in my career as part of sales training.#
- From Ted Howard #
- I’m reading a book about the history of Star Trek, and came upon an interesting tidbit I thought you would like.#
- David Gerrold, writer of the original series episode The Trouble with Tribbles, was also involved on the early days of The Next Generation.#
- He wrote the “bible” for the series using ThinkTank. He printed the outline out to show Gene Roddenberry, who was thrilled with how he had organized it.#
- So, it looks like you contributed to Star Trek. That’s pretty cool.#
- My comment#
- I love that story. Back in the 80s the Mac was very popular in Hollywood, and our product was one of the leading products, so we had a lot of famous people using it for projects like that. #
