Caturday: My New Kitteh

This week for Caturday, I brought you some photos of my new cat, Nibble. We got her this week, she's nine weeks old, and right now she lives in my housemates' room. The name "Nibble" is still sort of up in the air, but I like it because we're running a food company out of the house, and a nibble is half a byte. I also got to mark this Pivotal item as complete this week.

Space Invaders Couch


I have no idea if Igor Chak's "Retro Alien" (ahem, Space Invaders) couch is comfortable, or if it looks as good in real life as it does in renders, but it sure does look good in them renders!

Hurricane Irene: Dude streaks through Weather Channel live shot (video, pic, NSFW)

[Video Link] It's not a real American disaster until some drunk idiot pranks a live TV news shot. Above, Weather Channel reporter Eric Fisher gets mooned while reporting Hurricane Irene. Full frontal dong-age occurs shortly after that.

"We're in a lull..." No, sir, you're in a LOL.

Screengrab of naked guy follows (NSFW).

“stalwart Workers”: Neglected Backbone Of The Firm

Writing in a Harvard Business Review blog, professor Thomas J. DeLong talks about "Stalwart Workers," a neglected part of the workforce who don't live to work, don't crave promotion, but constitute the backbone of the organization:
Myth #1: Stars are smarter than Stalwarts. Stalwarts are not necessarily less intelligent than Stars. Achievement is a complicated blend of intelligence, motivation, and personality. Research confirms that insight; dozens of psychological studies have demonstrated that Stars and Stalwarts differ at least as much in temperament as intelligence.

Myth #2: Everybody is the same. Not every employee wants to give his all (or even his best) to the organization, leaving little time and energy for people and passions outside the workplace. Stalwarts place a high premium on work-life balance, and they highly value the time they spend with family and friends. In fact, many of the most productive Stalwarts are recovered Stars who, for a variety of personal reasons, have made a conscious decision to drop off the fast track.

Myth #3: Everybody wants the same thing out of work. Leaders often assume that all of their followers share their drive for power, status, and money. That's just not so. Many Stalwarts want to influence others in their jobs. Others value autonomy, creative opportunities, or the chance to develop unique expertise.
