Lowest Common Denominator
Why is it that I always get bitten by the lowest common denominator syndrome? We want the latest capture technology! Ok... But it must play back on my laptop from 1996! Ummmm no. I want High Deg resolution!!.. OK! BUT I want that on VHS. I want the latest coolest most kickass application on the planet, and I want it to run in DOS! Bah, its always something. People need to sign off on risk, new technology etc, they have to embrace whatever ramifcation come along with it. You want the coolest toy on the market ok you got it, now realize what it needs. I find it harder and harder to give anyone a straight answer any more on tech solutions. I listen to myself in meetings.. "Yes BUT, OK AND, Well thats possible BUT! Sure no problem EXCEPT!..." And I hate doing that really but its like folks just hear the initial words of success and run off into the night holding yer vision of goodness in their hand, forgettting that well.. we may have to plug that thing in man.
Its always the case really and I can't yell at them. I just educate them. Sometimes I hold back technology cause I know for whatever greatness it can bring to the table the natives arent ready for the strings attached.
Today I give a presentation on Trendwatching, the seminar I went to last month. I feel the office is split on the overall vibe of it, one half is "wtf is trendwatching" the other side is "ok starts at 4 and I'm soooo outa here by 4:30". Should be good. Overall I think the Trendwatching event, I keep typing event where as it was more of an seminar but the fingers keep typing event, anyways I see it as an event. Ok there event. It was good so todays talk should go well. And ya know I've pretty much accepted that my interests are rather unique compared to the fold. So..be it!
So in other news what else is happening. We had a few slow days on floozy there, like down and what not. Master Troy says fear not and the floozy shall rise again to flooz all you floozies.
I'm hungry for real work development. More on that later. Until then: Follow The Leader ( yet another dan music video )
