Benjy Feen summarizing Peter Drucker on management

Quoting this here because it resonated with me and I want to find it easily later: Ideally, managers create organizations to carry out their plans, and they keep a watchful eye on their resources, especially the most valuable resource, time. Given that, a few questions arise naturally, and it is the specific responsibility of a […]

Technically there are no pedants behind you.

Pet peeve time. This is a button-down, because the collar buttons down: This, despite having buttons down the front, is not a button-down: I know I’ve already lost this one — and I’d go so far as to say that “button-down” simply means something else to your average under-30 — but it’s a useful distinction […]

it’s the best kind

note: still a fashion whore

There’s now a Stance store in Bayshore! Stance primarily sells fashion sneakers from big brands: Converse, Puma, Onitsuka Tiger, Adidas, Vans, Etnies, Lacoste, that sort of thing.
