One wipes out a whole species
January 21st, 2009
In 1894, a cat named Tibbles killed all the wrens on Stephens Island, New Zealand.
Unfortunately, they were the last of their species, Xenicus lyalli.
That makes Tibbles the only individual in recorded history to wipe out an entire species singlehanded.

The Mental state called flow
January 19th, 2009
Strugling to get to work? can’t really focus?
The mental state that psychologists call “flow”, and its impact on your project, are well described in chapter 10 (“brain time versus body time”) of PeopleWare. Chapter 30 of RapidDevelopment quotes heavily from PeopleWare, and even includes a relevant Dilbert cartoon. Both refer to IBM’s SantaTeresaLaboratory, which was designed, based on scientific studies, as a place where designers could be productive. (Yes, they have offices with *REAL DOORS*; and lots of desk space.)
“Flow” is a mental state of deep concentration. It typically takes about 15 minutes of uninterrupted study to get into a state of “flow”, and the constant interruptions and distractions of a typical office environment will force you out of “flow” and make productivity impossible to achieve.

Here is a thought for the day:

Woman, without her man, is nothing.
or

Do Colors affect your mood?
December 12th, 2008
Do colors Affect your mood? Apparently so.
But what color goes with what mood?
Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. It is ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean? Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms?
Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. And even in Western societies, the meanings of various colors have changed over the years. But today in the U.S., researchers have generally found the following to be accurate.
