"The goal is to kick ass" and to set the context for doing same.

Check out the "corporate philosophy" of Flickr's early-stage iteration, Ludicorp. "The goal is to kick ass" is a nice punchline to what comes before it, but the before is what makes it. Oh that more orgs would have such an evolved perspective on what the point of business really is. (hat-tip to kottke.)

Tempus Fugit, Veni vidi vici - TL;DR

Latin for hipsters? Classical Disaffection? Studied boredom? Isn't it cool how latin can dress up bone idleness and half-assed nihilism? Who cares, they're now t-shirts and mugs in Cafe Fouro.

Still trying to figure out how to get TL;DR (too long; didn't read) to substitute for SPQR.
