Dead weight
I knew an old pastor that used to say:
Any ship, regardless of where it’s going or how it wants to get there, sails faster without dead weight.
This is so very, very true in any business or organizational setting. Dead weight slows you down. Dead weight interferes with navigating your ship through choppy waters. Dead weight makes it harder to change course when needed. The moral of this post? Don’t allow you or your business or your organization to be slowed down or hampered by dead weight.
Old iPad spoof
I’m posting this in honor of Apple’s debut of the iPad. This originally appeared on Can’t Win For Losing.
I cross posted this on Queer Oakland as well.
Scottish humor
Every once in a while you hear a joke that genuinely makes you chuckle. I heard one this week and I wanted to share it with you…
Why do the Scottish wear kilts?
Malware alert: Antivirus Soft
So I got this from a friend today via email and I thought I’d post it here. I tangled with an earlier version of this nasty bug last fall on two different machines. It’s a nasty one for sure…

Hi All,
I just had the unfortunate happen and have spent the last 2 hours getting rid of a really annoying virus called NewSoftSpot. It gives you false warnings and prompts you to activate it’s own anti-virus software. It’s a scam and once it’s on your computer, it doesn’t allow you to do much of anything except pay up. This is brand new and some of the anti-virus program updates haven’t caught up to it. It’s also said to be spreading through Myspace and Facebook. I got infected right after visiting Myspace. Using another computer I found a website with detailed instructions on getting rid of it. It worked perfectly and so I wanted to share it, just in case.
