Higher Level Open Loops

Folks

Thanks to Merlin's Podcasts, I've finally realized why I've been procastinating all over the place for the last few months.

The runway is sorted. The process works pretty well down there. Somewhere between there and 40,000 feet it all goes wrong.

It doesn't help that the company I work for got acquired this year. I know what job I'm going to be doing, but there's a lot of paperwork to be done before it happens. But the change of role brings lots of 10, 20 and 30,000 feet questions up.

I don't even know what the questions are, let alone the answers.

Does anyone have any good triggers for questions to ask, and thought processes, at the higher levels?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
