    You move to college, make new friends but lose most school ones.
    You get a job, make new friends but lose most college ones.
    You commit / get married, start hanging out with more couples, lose most single friends.
    You have kids, you start hanging out (if you ever can) with parents with kids, lose most child less friends.

    Is friendship a zero sum game?

      Depressing, isn’t it? One would assume that with each additional phase of life, we change with it enough to not miss the previous one; clearly that does not happen.

      Something I find myself repeatedly experiencing is transitioning into a new phase and desperately wishing to go back to the old one! When I got a job, I wanted to go back to college; when I was committed for years and years, I wanted to go back to being single (of course, some of this may have been because of the long distance); now that I am married, I fantasise about single peoples’ lives; presumably when I have a kid, I’m going to wish I could donate her/him to you guys for awhile (read: permanently). :P

    Shame on you, LCC 

    Using a double negative to fool people into allowing you to mail them is one of the cheap tricks of trade for spammers and unethical websites. Not something I’d expect of a reputed cycling advocacy charity.

    Shame!

    P.S.: I did submit the petition. But that’s because I believe strongly in the cause. That stupid checkbox label almost put me off signing it, though.

    Strong conflicting feelings. Really happy for someone. Really disappointed with them as well. ‘Love’ fighting ‘retaliation’.

    … and just like that that push you away.

    Time to archive the good memories, and move on.

    The idea so far:

    Turn the process on its head. Instead of building the prototype and then testing it in market/focus-groups, test the idea and then build if the fish(!) are biting.

    Advertising Effectiveness 

    If you ever wondered about the effectiveness of advertising in turning a product or a campaign around (for good or for worse), this might help. According to numbers published by WSJ,

    43% of all spending by Super PACs so far has been to oppose Newt Gingrich.

    75% of all ‘opposing’ spending by Super PACs has beenĀ targetedĀ at Newt Gingrich

    Super PAC spend opposing Newt Gingrich was 8.7 times of spend supporting him.

    If the result in South Carolina and the ratings in Florida are any indicator, these figures seem to be presenting a pretty damning statement against advertising effectiveness.

    I came here tonight because when you realise that you want to spend the rest of your life with some body, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
