on me trying to get Will to move to Denver.

Emotion Depository
My friends and I have always thought it quite funny that all it takes to have a good indie band name is to come up with an Emotion Depository that contains alliteration.

“Mr. Andrew Lang, startled for once out of his customary light-heartedness, asked himself, and his readers, and the ghost of Charles Dickens— all three powerless to answer— whether the dismal seriousness of the present day was going to last forever; or whether, when the great wave of earnestness has rippled over our heads, we would pluck up heart to be merry and, if needs be, foolish once again. Not that mirth and folly are in any degree synonymous as of old; for the merry fool, too scarce, alas! even in the times when Jacke of Dover hunted for him in the highways, has since then grown to be rarer than a phenix.”

The best birthday poem of all time
Whether fits of gin,
Or Cohiba dens,
So remains his goal
A pretentious binge.
In sharp-shaped tweed
He cooks with speed,
Growing proud indeed.
Bourdain, his lead.
A language or three,
And women for free,
Hemingway’s his guide
To expat liberty
Now don’t be swayed,
Not depressed nor dismayed,
Remains merry like clams
Even more, Birthdayed.
“I feel that in general terms it is the policies and actions that flow from the belief that men and women want to do a good job, a creative job, and that if they are provided with the proper environment they will do so. It is the tradition of treating every individual with consideration and respect and recognizing personal achievements. This sounds almost trite, but Dave (co-founder Packard) and I honestly believe in this philosophy…. Many years ago we did away with time clocks, and more recently we introduced the flexible work hours program. Again, this is meant to be an expression of trust and confidence in people as well as providing them with an opportunity to adjust their work schedules to their personal lives…. Many new HP people as well as visitors often note and comment to us about another HP way—that is our informality, and our being on a first name basis. I could cite other examples, but the problem is that none by themselves really catches the essence of what the HP Way is all about. You can’t describe it in numbers and statistics.”
