We should get reclining chairs

The PM told me to 'take it offline.' I think that means I'm supposed to tell you about it instead.

Taking if Offline or "Put it in the parking lot" are common phrases if you do a lot of big company meetings.  With a good PM, it truly means follow up discussion.  With a less capable PM, it means, let's never talk about that again.  A bad PM, let's never talk about that again because I don't understand it.

Unrelated, I think back to a post by Joel Spolsky when he quit blogging and he chose to call it, "Let's Take This Offline".  I wonder how much quicker he would have been to give up if he were sinking time into a stick figure comic...
"The big-hit technology companies from the past 10 years tend to have pathetic blogs. Twitter's blog, like Facebook's and Google's, is full of utterly boring press releases rewritten to sound a little bit less stuffy. Apple's employees produce virtually no blogs, even though the company has introduced several game-changing new products in the past decade. Meanwhile, hundreds of Microsoft's employees have amazing blogs, but these have done nothing to stave off that company's slide into stodginess."

  3. Yes, they now have themes. Want a castle for your little kings or a dollhouse for your little princess? Of course, traditional styles and themes are still widely available. flip chair review
