My friend Nick Gogerty read my light-hearted six degrees and Martina McBride story and was kind of enough to send me HIS posting on the networking and six degrees.
“Network theory is cool and connected”
Network Theory is fascinating stuff. The thing I find most interesting about the mathematics and applied mathematics of network [...]
Why Men Make More Money Than Women
30 Jul 2007 / PE
Another study quizzed graduating master’s degree students who had received job offers about whether they had simply accepted the offered starting salary or had tried to negotiate for more. Four times as many men — 51 percent of the men vs. 12.5 percent of [...]
Ever since the Kevin Bacon game got going, I have been amused by the six degrees of separation theory. This theory holds that everyone on the planet is connected to any single person with only six contacts:
Me->My Neighbor->His high school principal->One of his teachers grew up next to Prince->Teacher knows Prince’s sister->Sister introduces [...]
So, again today I heard from someone who dreams about ‘making it’ but just can’t seem to get it together enough to jump off the diving board alone.

Al Gore is Driving Us Nuts
So he’s been with us for less than a week but we’re ready to shoot him. First of all, he’s not a vegetarian, and he keeps bringing meat [...]
Some time ago, I cut and pasted the following paragraph. I thought it was a superb example of good writing and biting sarcasm. Plus it made me laugh. For the life of me, I cannot recall where I originally found this–but it must have been written by an Englishman, Canadian or [...]
Another observation. People with well developed senses of humor do better in the workplace. In past postings, I have advised just to smile more…even that helps. The real test, however, is not only if YOU can smile but if you can make others smile, too.
If you can make others smile, the corner [...]
"I am having fun here, sharing stories of what I have learned after some 25 years of doing startups, with maybe some observations about the workplace, culture and other things that interest or amuse me,...and hopefully, you."
