Hey everybody, I’m about a week late with the August edition of “Things You Should Be Reading.” There’s a little bit of something for everybody here.
- Brilliantly smart-ass responses to completely well-meaning signs (via John Nack)
- It’s been a very long two weeks. Get prepared. — A hilarious gem from the Bloggess that includes (what’s this?) Nathan Fillion and twine.

- New Zealand — Kris Freeman is still taking names and kicking ass.
- An Absence of Advocacy — Chris thinks he’s not a good diabetes advocate. Sometimes being present is enough, man. Oh, and having a kick-ass podcast certainly bolsters one’s D cred.
- Fuck Yeah Diabetic Cat — . . . I mean even this is advocacy, Chris.
- Observing demos hurts learning, and confusion is a sign of understanding — Let this article blow your mind. (via Software Carpentry)
- JAMA: The Hazards of Evidence Based Medicine — As with everything it’s about what and how you measure.
- Want To Keep (And Motivate) Your Best Employees? It’s Not About The Money — Relationship-driven leadership.
- Radiology Wife: How To Read A Chest Radiograph — This is pretty much the approach I take when looking at DICOM files our customers send us.
- Nine Deadly Sins of Project Planning — The worst? “Not Learning from Past Planning Sins”
- Scientific photography: Escher in water, eggs exploding, & more — Oooh! Shiny!
