Fancy that (my boss)

This is our fearless leader, sort of. Like many employees I've never met him. Nobody I know gets their day-to-day marching orders from him. But still: "Lime Brokerage, which is gaining a reputation as one of the fastest trading systems on Wall Street."

The total beggging post (monitor sitting Saturday or Sunday)

Our babysitting person for this Saturday had a family emergency and has had to cancel. So I'm begging for childcare. Bribery included.

Pygment and I would really love to get a child-free night at the con. Saturday or Sunday, at our place or yours. We'll put the kids to bed - we just need someone to sit the monitor and call us if the kids need us (which usually doesn't happen). We'll pay and the house has free 'net and free hot tub.

Or if you're going to be home with your own kids and are willing to host a couple of sleepovers we'll handle drop-off and pickup. Appropriate reciprocation, bribes, and generally undying gratitude included.

What have you changed your mind about in the past year?

I'm not swayed by arguments based on faith, can be moved by good logic, but am always swayed by a good experiment, even if it goes against my scientific beliefs.

Mark Morford's column a couple weeks ago pointed to this Edge.org list of things about which people have changed their minds. These people are scientists, professors, and professionals well steeped in their careers and their beliefs. But still open to change.

I've only started reading the list and it's fascinating. So I wonder, dear readers, what have you changed your minds about?
