The Real Unreal

Check out these Candy-Coated Milk Chocolate Peanuts. 

They are "100% real Unreal" taste. 

Sort of like the "genuine artificial gold" that the swim instructor promised us in camp when we were kids. ;-)

Genuine Artificial Gold

When I was a youngster going to summer camp, a great guy, "The Chief" lifeguard, used to tempt the kids to behave by offering them a prize of some "genuine artificial gold." 

Here are some thought provoking sayings from a cybersecurity class I took recently (you decide whether these are true for your organization):


- Organizational Power: "He who controls the budget, billets, and IT controls the organization."


- Micromanagement: "There is no greater enabler of micromanagement than information technology [and a crappy manager]."


- Getting to a Decision: "A non-decision is a decision."


Managing Performance: "An organization is not well-suited to collecting data about itself."


- Mission and Personal Focus: "If you try to be everything to everybody, you end up being nothing to nobody."
