I love tapas. You probably do too although you may not think of them as such. In Spain, these are little plates of food – a few bites – that traditionally have been eaten while you’re at a bar. In Italy, particularly in Venice, they’re called cicchetti – bite sized appetizers. Bar food. Go on, admit it.

Frankly, I was so shocked by the choice of stories that I didn’t really hear what the guy was saying other than that the clinic is becoming a tourist attratction.
NBC News is a respected news organization that ought to know a lot better. Or maybe I’m the one with a tin ear and not their producers. What do you think?

Hurt vs. Injured
Let’s play pretend. Pretend there is a team of people working on a web project together. The team has reached the very end of the build and is hoping to get it launched soon. Suddenly, one sector of the team decides they don’t like the way something looks and proposes a change. Making the change might make the product look nicer but it won’t affect the way it works. Nothing is broken – it’s just not pretty. With deadlines looming, do you make the change? Continue reading
