Drivel:  One of the guys on my shuttle back to the hotel last night works for Boeing on their Sea Launch program.  He is a program manager for their communications platform.  We started talking about networking and wireless communication since I am working at AT&T Wireless and he deals a lot with satellite communications.  The conversation then morphed into a general business discussion.  We started talking about big companies and how much waste and inefficiency there is.  He seemed perfectly happy to accept it and said, "That's big business."  I asked him if he saw a need to change it and what he could do to make things more efficient.  He gave me a blank stare and said, "Why?"  I looked back at him and didn't have anything to say.  I understand his response.  If it doesn't directly affect him, why worry about it?  He is insulating himself in the pack just wanting to be comfortable and have a "good" life.  He is a gatherer.  I am a hunter.  Never before have I been in a situation where the differences were so apparent.  7:10:15 PM   comments ()

Drivel:  My weekend was far too short.  I flew home Friday night and got back on a plane to go back to Seattle Sunday night.  It is almost over.  Just two more weeks.  This week is a short week.  I fly back to Boston Wednesday morning.  6:31:46 PM   comments ()
