The Battle of Minas Taurus
this is quite possibly the most intense nature battle i've ever seen. it's kind of like 300, only without all of the greased-up muscles.

50lbs of meat
I gave my heart and soul to you my friend
You let me fall
If you could only see what's in my heart
You'd take my hand
I've lived this life as a man would do
Why's it so hard to find the truth?
My faith is strong within myself
I bleed of pride
Inside
I won't forgive
You can't take it back now
It's to hard to swallow
No words
No conviction
I've found the truth inside myself
But I am still doing time
Opened my eyes to what is real
This world is hard
It's cold
It's agony

his visit: day five

Yosts' house: Cissy stands in her kitchen, looking at the gun. Suddenly, a vision of John appears outside her window. "Cissy Yost!" he says, in the tone of the radio advertisement. "Are you sitting in your kitchen on 7th Street thinking of blowing off your head with your gun you got back from Kai's trailer? Have you completely run out of whatever let you put up with your asshole husband for 31 years?" She's startled -- John is reading her mind. He continues, "Do you feel that everything you ever touched in your entire life, you turned to shit and mud? Are you ashamed, Cissy, that once, when Mitch was away on one of his bullshit retreats and you were loaded on acid, and Butchie was 13, and had just won his first contest, and you were so proud of him for not being Mitch, and you went into his room, and he was whippin' his skippy, that you said, 'Let me show you had to do that.'" John smiles, and mimes jerking off. Cissy shrieks, and covers her face -- John has uncovered her most shameful, terrible secret. She opens her eyes, and John is still doing it. Horrified, she grabs the gun and shoots at John -- but the gun is empty. She looks at the gun. She doesn't know what's happening. John continues, "Have you wanted to kill yourself every day since, Cissy, and not even known it? And turned yourself into the worst ball-buster known to man, so no one would be with you, and you wouldn't have to be afraid that you'd ever do something like that again, that's how ashamed of yourself you were?" Cissy starts to sob. "Do you think now Shaun, who you loved so much and tried to make a life for, now you turned around and hurt his feelings so bad? Do you hurt so bad that you want to just quit and be over, everything?" Cissy nods, completely drained. "Well, let me tell you about our offer, Cissy... We'd prefer you don't! We wish you wouldn't! Our offer is: Keep going, feeling just as miserable, or worse. Hold the gun under the spigot and turn the water on. Spare Shaun finding you dead in the kitchen -- and as a bonus, you'll also receive: his love. Act now, Cissy! Baptise that fuckin' pistol!" Smiling, Cissy grabs the gun and holds it under the faucet. She looks back up at John -- and he's vanished. She looks back down at her hands, and realizes what she's doing.

ADD
Cognitive Dissonance development (CDD) - In any organization where there are two or more divergent beliefs on how software should be made. The tension between those beliefs, as it’s fought out in various meetings and individual decisions by players on both sides, defines the project more than any individual belief itself.
Cover Your Ass Engineering (CYAE) - The driving force behind most individual efforts is to make sure than when the shit hits the fan, they are not to blame.
Development By Denial (DBD) - Everybody pretends there is a method for what’s being done, and that things are going ok, when in reality, things are a mess and the process is on the floor. The worse things get, the more people depend on their denial of what’s really happening, or their isolation in their own small part of the project, to survive.
Get Me Promoted Methodology (GMPM) - People write code and design things to increase their visibility, satisfy their boss’s whims, and accelerate their path to a raise or the corner office no matter how far outside of stated goals their efforts go. This includes allowing disasters to happen so people can be heroes, writing hacks that look great in the short term but crumble after the individual has moved on, and focusing more on the surface of work than its value.

Humility & the Interaction Designer
When asked what personal qualities make a good interaction designer, Larry Tesler highlighted humility:
“Enough confidence to believe you can solve any design problem and enough humility to understand that most of your ideas are probably bad. Enough humility to listen to ideas from other people that may be better than your own and enough confidence to understand that going with other people’s ideas does not diminish your value as a designer.”
Larry Tesler, Vice President of the User Experience and Design group, Yahoo in Dan Saffer’s Designing for Interaction.
