Tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day, so naturally we’re all a-twitter here. We only get two Pirate themed holidays a year, so we gotta make the best of ‘em.

In that spirit, here’s Browse Like a Pirate.

And then someone pointed out to me this weekend that there’s an evolutionary connection to pirates: “You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.”

The Raconteurs: “I’ve never heard of this band before, but our correspondent in Hoosierland sent me a link to their site, marveling at the old school design. It’s a wonderful throwback that takes me back to the good ol’ days of 8-bit computing, where the screens were 40 columns and you could have any color you wanted, as long as it was green. Neon, fluorescent, alien death ray green. Ah, good times, good times.”

The success of a business is determined by PROFITS not PROPHETS!

The practical, first requirement of good management is to make a profit for the enterprise so that those who made the capital available may be rewarded, and thus encouraged to provide more, through further savings, and so that the worth and dignity of profit as the source of progress and improvement may be simultaneously established.
