Excellent. An easy choice, indeed.
“We keep bringing more magic into the world, but rising expectations mean that there’s more disappointment as well.
That’s part of the deal of being in the world.
The alternative, I’m afraid, isn’t to choose a path where we make everyone happy and always exceed their expectations. Nope. The alternative is to hide, to fail to engage and to produce nothing.
A pretty easy choice.”

“Dealing with business challenges all starts with connecting the right people.”

This is like new computers going to executives. The people that need it the least, but are higher up in the org chart, are the ones who receive new technology and the attention of consultants and vendors brought in to improve the organization. Instead, it should be the top performers at every level below the executives.
Get the right people in the room.
“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.”

This is a two-for-one.
If you do any kind of design or development, you’re constantly needing to match colors (or you should be).
Nattyware’s Pixie and Apple’s Digital Color Meter (if you’re using OS X Lion, which you should be, be sure to see the new way to get Hex values) are what I rely on. Both free. Both easy to use. Launch, roll over the color you want to match, and you get your RGB, Hex and other values.
I use these almost daily for web design and elearning development.
Enjoy!
