Normally I like to wait a few years before reading business books as the companies held up as shining examples of the one true way will have invariably foundered. No need to wait long in this case as Immelt is already out at GE and while it might be unfair to pin that on the lean startup movement it certainly gives you reason to pause while reading this book. Do I really want to fly on a plane with a Minimum Viable Jet Engine? Having said all that I actually liked the book. It's a recap of lean startup and broadens that thesis to cover strategy and innovation accounting for larger enterprises and (of course) humanity as a whole. Grandiose, but not totally crazy as the core of the movement is to use the scientific method in more places. You don't know, so test and learn.

Photo of some fungus on a tree in Glen Canyon Park, San Francisco.
This photograph, aptly titled "Fungus," captures a cluster of small, pink fungi clinging to the worn bark of a tree. The fungi are meticulously arranged in a vertical line, trailing along the rustic crevices of the tree, their soft curves a striking contrast against the textured bark. The background is a lush blur of greens and browns, suggestive of a dense forest or woodland area. This intentional blurring draws the viewer’s gaze immediately to the fungi, highlighting their delicate form amidst the organic chaos of nature. The soft, diffused lighting adds a gentle, serene quality to the scene, suggesting an early morning or late afternoon light that filters through the canopy above.
The photograph adopts a shallow depth of field, which effectively isolates the subject from its background, demonstrating a keen understanding of compositional focus. The rule of thirds is subtly at play with the fungi positioned off-center, adding visual interest and balance. The earthy color palette lends a natural harmony to the composition, though the choice of color feels slightly monochromatic, potentially limiting the visual impact. However, the use of leading lines—created by both the vertical alignment of fungi and the linear texture of the bark—leads the eye naturally across the frame. I appreciate the intimacy of this close-up shot, though a bit more contrast could enhance the texture details in the bark. Overall, the photograph captures a moment of quiet beauty in nature, balancing simplicity with an understated complexity.

I have a Nest camera in my backyard. So far it has caught zero criminals. It's not completely useless though as it has captured many raccoons, several skunks, eerie spiders glowing in the infrared lights, a couple of rats and one cat. Parkside police say I can stop calling now.

Democrats are being rather lame about pushing to impeach Donald Trump. Sure, they don't have the votes. But maybe next year they'd stand a better chance of getting them if they did a little less cozying up on deals that won't happen and a little more talking up impeachment. It would be nice if Mueller wrapped things up and dropped an incontrovertible bombshell but that doesn't and shouldn't matter. It would be nice if the various Congressional enquiries did their job but again that should be viewed as icing on the cake.
Trump assaulted equal protection and religious freedom by banning Muslims from travelling to the US. It doesn't matter what else Mueller turns up. Trump violates the Emoluments Clause on a constant basis. We don't need anything more from Congress. It's hard to see the Comey firing as anything other than obstruction of justice. Democrats need to start beating the drum and get Trump out of office. They're not going to do it without a big push.
