If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and no-one dares criticize it.

Stress Canary
I have a new definition… I was surprised when wikipedia and even the urban dictionary didn’t have a definition for the term “stress canary”.
Stress Canary – noun
- the person on a team or project that feels the effects of stress well before anyone else
- a modern version of a canary in a coal mine, someone who reacts to stress as an early warning signal

Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
— Calvin Coolidge
