As part of my first graduate class, Strategic Change I, we're learning how employees react to various changes in companies' strategic direction and how these companies manage change processes. My instructutor feels that we can't really know or understand change unless we go through a personal change experiment ourselves. So our first assignment is to
I just read Seth Godin's article at Fast Company, You Are Your References where he talks about how on-line life and digital footprints affect how potential employers see their employees.

I've been shocked today by an influx of Peep knowledge. One, La Cabeza, had no idea what a Peep was when it was mentioned during lunch. I can't imagine growing up in this country and NOT KNOWING about Peeps. That's on the order of never trying pizza or not learning how to drive. Mind-blowing. LaCa,

Me: "You want one. I know you do. It's a delicious combination of salmon, taki, squid and...the secret sauce..."
He: "...So my last name's a Scottish compaint about British heritage. By the way...what's your last name?" Me: "Green" He: "No e? Just the color?" Me: "No, not just the color. It's a particular shade of green." He: "Wait, you have a shade?" Me: "Oh, there's nothing official, but I do have one in mind
Or so Dave's Web of Lies would have you believe. Go test yourself against such whoppers as this: The French Ministry of Culture has projected that 87 per cent of all French post-modernists will have deconstructed themselves by 2008.
