In that sense you already know me, we just haven't met. But we will. I think I have met almost half my regular readers over the years.

I think I will print that out and keep it by my desk for quick reference. Actually I may cut and paste it as a note into my blackberry so I have have it ready in meetings! I may print it on a checkerboard for my risk managers so we can play "cognitive bias bingo" during meetings! On an unrelated note I just finished reading Wikinomics and I was thrilled that you got a mention! It did, however, bring up an interesting conundrum of the new connected world. I finished the section of the book that mentioned you and then I turned to my wife and said, "that's only the second time I've ever read a book that mentions someone I know *pause* shit I don't really know him but I read his blog." Somehow it seems less connected to just say "this book mentioned someone who's blog I read." -JD Great link. I think I will print that out and keep it by my desk for quick reference.
