So here’s another one I picked up over at Commanche Hill.

I am:Isaac Asimov One of the most prolific writers in history, on any imaginable subject. Cared little for art but created lasting and memorable tales. |
They should have thrown in a Hoshin Kanri, Kano Customer Satisfaction, or House of Quality reference too!
The next installment in a long list of “take this weird test you saw on someone else’s blog to better understand yourself and get weird answers”. Now we can talk about who is a cooler Super Hero!
(Never underestimate how much wearing a cape or pushup bra can skew your personality results. I hope a future employer isn’t reading my blog.)

You are Green Lantern
|
Hot-headed. You have strong will power and a good imagination.  |
Today I picked up a carton of Camel Lights Hard Pack…for $42.70! When you see me puffing away fifty feet from any public building, looking at me with disdain for my filthy, but perfectly legal and very enjoyable habit, just take pause and consider how much I am contributing to your children’s education and road maintenance or something through my generous sin tax payments on top of my income taxes.
Be nice to smokers, we don’t have much time left.
On an organizational culture note, if you want to know what’s really going on in your business, head to the smoker’s lounge. They are probably the most well-informed, cross-functional team you have.
Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em!
Here’s a nice summary of ways to graph things with samples.
A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods
I’ve been on a visualization kick lately sparked by reading “Out of Our Minds” and being reminded that there are multiple intelligences. Dancers don’t hear a piece of music and translate it into dance steps, they think in movement. Musicians don’t think in notes and rests, they think in tones and rhythms. Writing music is just an attempt to capture their thoughts with symbols others can decipher.
So the weekend before last was all about food, music, and art. Turned into mostly food.

Mission accomplished.
Saw a commercial over the weekend for Sears with a device just like this:
The CarveWright Woodworking System
Can you say hobby-wood-CNC? This could be a lot of fun. I need to look at the dimensions of stuff I’d wanna do.
