  • Decisions, Decisions

    “The way to make better decisions is to make more of them” -Anthony Robbins We do learn from retrospective analysis of effects. I question the need to make our own bad decisions in order to learn. We ought to be able to watch others make mistakes and avoid them.

  • Dunbar on Facebook

    You’ve read my previous posts on Dunbar‘s Number, right? Go on…. I’ll wait. Remember the one on Scoble and Facebook? Good.
