When you're sitting on a train or on a 'plane, or eating on your own in a restaurant, you can't help but look at the people around you. I think humans are innately social beings rather than solitary. You can only glance at them for a second otherwise people start to shift in their seats, because they feel that you are starting to invade their personal space. How often have you imagined what people are like just from that brief observation? If I am bored on a long journey I will often do this. We may use certain clues to help us in this quest, what they are wearing for example, and I have blogged on this before.

It's not uncommon to find that as businesses grow they have a tendency to lose sight of the very things that made them who they are.

Well, it's December and the holiday season is upon us. In business, enterprises are certainly operating in a different climate this year. The credit crunch worldwide is causing companies to crunch numbers when it comes to Christmas parties and the like. It's definitely a season unlike those in recent history. It portends to be the way companies may choose to conduct affairs for good in the future.

What passwords do you choose on the internet? No don’t tell me!  That would be really silly.  I was really asking how you arrive at your choice. Some companies insist on including numbers, some want at least one capital letter, and others insist on the password having at least 8 characters, some require all of the above - a mixture of  letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers.  All of which is why I’d be lost without my little black book, because no matter what they say about not writing down your password, it’s the only way I can possibly remember them all.  To be honest, I would prefer to use just one password, but I have been assured that this isn’t a good idea, as far as security is concerned.
