LeBron Mania

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

First off, let me just say, I’m really not the world’s biggest basketball fan, it’s no hockey. But I couldn’t help but notice that the “LeBron James era” started last night. Now, keeping in mind that the Cavs are the closest thing we have to a local NBA team, would you be surprised to know that last night’s game, despite being a 10:30PM local time tipoff, was on 3 different channels? ESPN had it nationally, obviously, we get Cleveland’s WUAB as part of our cable package, they had the game, and the local PAX affiliate also, apparently, has some deal to broadcast Cavs games in the Columbus area this year. All this from a team that won 17 games all of last year and probably had more people watching last night then the team’s 82 games last year combined! And I thought the Ohio media’s daily reports on his High School career were tiring….

    Thanks to Andy for leaving me a comment yesterday about the latest bug fix of Syndirella that specifically fixed the first character only problem with Win 98. Perhaps later today I’ll grab that and get a better idea of how it stacks up. For right now I’m enjoying the extra day of my weekend away…

    Linked – How to Be a Great Networker (When You Hate Networking)

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    In my experience, this is a great idea. 3. Get in line. Similar to the last point, a long line – say for food or a drink – is one of the easiest spots to network. Because rather than having to go up to people on your own, you are already standing among strangers and it’s…

    Yes, it’s an Excel function. One I knew about, kind of, but had never needed to use, until today. Luckily, for all of us who were working on this formula, I found this page using Google and it made for an easy to follow example of summing the data in cells that matched mulitple criteria….

  • Prepare for the Spontaneous

    At work, we are asked to make adjustments all the time. In our modern, technological jobs, we are constantly facing change. The individuals and teams who will succeed are the ones who’ve gotten comfortable with it. They’ve prepared for the change and know they can adjust on the fly because they know the work well and are used to making the proper decisions. Those who don’t have a deep understanding of what is going on will overreact to change and commit turnovers.
