Double digit nothing

by Bill on August 12, 2010

The last few weeks have been characterized by lots to do, a good deal of frustration and, most significantly and surprisingly, reassessment. In other words, I’m over-extended and not in a good way.

Have you thoughtwrestled yet?

Oh, don’t look baffled by the word. The internet — the world, for that matter — is made up of new words and phrases that try to communicate their intent in their name. This one, Thoughtwrestling, is a pretty good one I think. It communicates what the blog it names is about: wrestling with ideas. [...]
