Honda Is Still Out Ahead Conceptually
Tired of just being a biped? Who knew Honda would help you to get off those legs of yours using an ingenious device called the UX-3 that is omnidirectional. There's more here.

Don't Let It Slip Away

Last week a disgruntled co-worker expressed his frustration with an engineer I’ll call “A”, with whom we both work. The previous week, my co-worker had let me know that a test was to be witnessed in order for a huge project to be officially released and had wanted to know if anything was missing. The only thing missing was a defining digit on a gui label in the system software. The whole project was on hold waiting for this five minute correction.
Unfortunately, manyana is the flavor of the month, every month with A. Letting things slip on our personal projects is our business, but when others are affected there can be consequences. Unfortunately, the only consequences for A’s actions are the diminished health of unnecessary stress to those around him. In the case of A, the refusal to act puts him in the spotlight, which he clearly enjoys, but complicates the lives of many. We don’t mind our own impediments; that’s life. But when we have a barrier in common that requires so much time looking for a key, it all seems so unnecessary.
Certainly we’re all busy and have a degree of procrastination in out lives, but our attitudes shape our future and define who we are by our actions. But it’s not clear to what degree our upbringing and culture determine our actions. Our current education system is reticent to glorify winners over losers, having removed keys for analysis in the classroom and put them in the courtroom. Any debate is effectively stiffled under the banner of political correctness. Free open debate has been core to American education since the beginning.
The USA has always been a melting pot of world cultures and we have a right to be proud of our creations. Many US citizens have fled oppressive regimes in countries embroiled in corruption. This country has seen a fresh start for millions. Corruption exists worldwide, but it is the downfall of civilizations. So when does corruption become systemic? We all play a part in keeping ours healthy by the choices we make. Comments, anyone?
Resourcefullness.blogspot.com has a general aim of promoting a personal attitude where you find a key in your hand for whatever barrier you face. You know it!

Role Model for Resourcefullness
I stumbled across this inspirational site, the blog for the Blue Ant Studio while seeking tile arrangements for a built in planter rim. Initially we were thinking of a Santa Barbara style, but privately my own interests drift towards the avante garde with hints of tradition to exemplify a timeless quality. Any roughness should be a subtle detail that reveals a personal touch within a polished presentation. The basis for a project requires premium quality materials...not special deals with which to make do. Professionals have covered the learning curves and if they've been in business for awhile, they're good enough to call themselves professional and present a polish of design, craftmanship and execution with errors invisible to the layman.
It is with these thoughts in mind that I have linked to the extensive display at the Blue Ant Studio.
