A good place to work

In good organizations, people can focus on their work and have confidence that if they get their work done, good things will happen for both the company and them personally. It is a true pleasure to work in an organization such as this. Every person can wake up knowing that the work they do will be efficient, effective and make a difference both for the organization and themselves. These things make their jobs both motivating and fulfilling.

I have mixed feelings about this, too.  On the one hand, the Rep-Rap world is wonderful, but I wasn't expecting this to happen as quickly as it did, i.e. before we had any sort of systems in place to control it.  Moore's Law takes everyone by surprise sooner or later, I guess.

What a world will look like with Google Glass -- I have mixed feelings about this: it looks so cool that I almost can't resist, but it would make me less connected in the ways I know really matter.
