Boss Science: The Psychopathology of the modern American corporate leader. The personality which wins the promotion game has dubious overlap with characteristics of effective leadership. Many organizational psychologists argue that the "emergent" boss is often a
narcissist who, because he "manages to act like he already is the boss," is "socially skilled at adjusting his personality," and is charismatic, rises and entrenches himself to the detriment of the organization.
Some, though, "extol[] the virtues of the narcissist’s selfishness, ethical blindness, and lack of empathy as indispensable to being an agent of change in a large corporation—or the world."

To Write Love On Her Arms is a story and the response to a story. I first saw the shirt on Switchfoot's
Jon Foreman and thought "Hey that's a cool shirt." Months later I saw an ad and went to look them up. That's when I found
the story. As
their MySpace page points out, they are not a 24-hour helpline, nor are they trained professionals, but they do "hope to serve as
a bridge to help." Its a small organization right now, using a
unique method of achieving recognition and exposure, but it is an important "movement of love, a commitment to begin answering these needs and offering hope to the many who struggle with depression, addiction, suicide, self injury." (from the
FAQ)

How do you make a “trusted system”? A planning and organisational system which can be relied upon to contain your events, tasks, projects and thoughts?... One of the biggest obstacles for many people is how to create a system that is always there, at the ready, and
worthy of your trust.

Recently we've all been thinking about flat (or better,
faceted)
hierarchy web apps that organize
email,
photos,
bookmarks, and
general knowledge. The common threads are
metadata (tags, categories, labels) that enrich relationships within and hence
searchability of large collections. But besides
marketroid hype (
buzzwords, snark) and a computer that plays
Twenty Questions what
else can we do and study using faceted data structures:
searchable culture references in The Simpsons,
library science, computer
filesystems,
A.I. development, models for
human memory and cognition?

Unionized Clergy?! Some members of the clergy with the United Church of Canada are looking to unionize over four thousand pastors across the country. Their compliant, bad working conditions and sweatshop wages. Bad working conditions? Give me a break.

"The Web, left to its own devices, would be the exact opposite of that: It's like a giant city with no neighborhoods; it needs these kind of
meta-filters, these second-level kind of things, whether it is Yahoo or Google or Slashdot, to rein in that chaos and turn it to something more organized." From the
second page of
an interview with the author of
Emergence, Steven Johnson (also co-founder of
Feed).
