The sky is blue, the birds are singing, and a young (at heart) man’s thoughts turn to baseball. Maybe I’ve just been wasting my time all these years following baseball. But I like to think that it taught me the following: 10. Appreciation of history and tradition 9. Resilience, and acceptance of defeat 8. How […]
OK, this is a great headline: Facebook, YouTube at work make better employees: study. From Reuters no less. And the Twittersphere is abuzz with how great surfing at work is.

Yesterday saw Wikia Search surrender to Google, and Encarta surrender to Wikipedia.
