The google word significance score is always a fun tool to play with. I’m glad it’s not part of my profession, though, because I’d insist on something better and I’d want to know more about how the metric is generated.
The New York Stock Exchange trading room floor is a flurry of activity from the minute the bell rings until the second it closes. People are running everywhere, jammed together, in a single large room.
Andreas Avester is having to deal with someone stealing his art and using it as a commercial logo. [http://blamscoon.e-monsite.com/] What’s sad is that they could have commissioned a logo from Andreas, like I did, and gotten a superb piece of art that they could use without headaches.

I’ve worked for too many corporatist shitbags to have any instinct but “RUN!” when I hear the sound of corpocrat. That’s why mayor Pete made my flesh crawl – he deployed the same technique, which deflects responsibility, takes credit, and obscures the speaker’s agenda.
