Exposed: the Secret of My Success

I deeply regret to inform you that my illustrious colleague Eric Mack has revealed the real secret to my success.

This doesn’t just apply to technology, folks. Any poem I attempt that takes more than two minutes to write gets likewise round-filed. Clearly, haiku is about all I have time for, and usually without all that restrictive syllable-counting nonsense.

Speed poetry, like speed chess? Now there’s a perverse thought.

I wrote one in my sleep the other night (3 lines). And the one I posted yesterday was about breaking out of the confinement of form.

You and your sleepwriting. Crazy stuff.

That’s a good post over there.

I dream to one day actually draining all the inboxes.

It happens one item at a time.

p.s. it has come to my attention that some people don’t realize this is a joke and have been quoting me as an advocate of deleting email that requires anything more than a 2-minute response. I would just like to go on record as saying I am not responsible for your career development path if you choose to adopt this approach to email. You might end up a CEO, or worse.
