Designed to encourage lateral thinking and break creative logjams, Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies might help you through some of the problems you’re facing.
Hard to believe that today is my eight year anniversary of working at Regina Public Library. Our Director even brought me cake. Well, technically donuts. And technically not for me but leftovers from an all-day meeting he was in at our branch. But a guy can pretend, right? 😉 Anyhow, here’s a horrible posed photo […]
At least in terms of prestigious office location at Hillary HQ, Hillary’s chief statistician is given equal weight to the Campaign Chairperson, the Campaign Manager and her most trusted assistant.
