Oooh- I'm the first one to comment! Hooray. This was fun to read. I got a kick out of it. I liked the [short explanations] part of Q2. :) We love you Matt! I also liked the [No, it's not broke, that's what it's supposed to do] comment for Q4.
And it sounds just like me in Q2 "Concentrate without getting distraced". :)
Happy blogging!

That's great, Matt! Very YOU.
I too liked the "short excplanations", since we tease you so often about not being able to do that!
Oh yeah...I got an idea....*SMACK*...well I did have.
Being a hitchhiker can hurt i guess, getting smacked and all that, but just remember your towel! LOL

MJ, Amen on Q1, A1. I like Q1,A5, that would be wonderful...
The things you say often are true, I have heard them all more than once. "Hush", I didn't know that was how it started. :-)
Q5, A6, I've never heard of it. What is it about (other then the obvious dancing elephants) :-) and where did you find it?
Until recently I would not have known who Boreham was, but now I would agree very good author. :-)
Good choices on movies. Wide variety, funny, sad, thoughtful, ridiculous & adventurous. Good job!
Inconceivable....:-) I have always liked that movie.
I also really enjoyed Beautiful Mind.
Thank you for taking the time to answer these. I enjoyed reading the answers. As I told your sisters if you get the chance the next set of questions can be found under "Questions from MyBelovedIsMine" on my blog. I hope you are able to answer those as well.

A. Vic,
You just want to know because it has the word "Dance" in the title don't you? :-)
I found it on iTunes. I guess I did leave out part of the title on that book...
"Who Says Elephants Can't Dance? Inside IBM's Historic Turnaround [ABRIDGED] (Audio CD)"
If for some reason you're wondering who Larry Wall is click the following link: Larry Wall
I found it interesting that my sister listed Count of Monte Cristo also, which I didn't notice till now.

Okay, that would explain why I didn't know who that author was and what that book was about. What an odd title for a programming book. Here I thought it was going to be about dancing, how disappointing. :-) Just kidding...
I found it interesting that both you and your sister posted that movie as well. Great minds think alike, huh. :) It is a good movie. We almost watched that last night instead of K&L.
By A. Victoria, at 9:42 AM
Oh yes! Great minds think alike!
And as for the dancing elephants....yeah that's disapointing that it's not really about them dancing. I can imagine the histerics one would go into if such a fenominon were able to be viewed in real life.

Who Says Elephants Can't Dance is about corporate business, and how a new CEO led the company and turned it around for the better. A lot of it has to do with what problems they had, and how they resolved them. Also there is a lot that goes into why they made certain decisions, and what other possibilities there were. So it's not about computers, its about business, and leadership.
