The thing about expert opinion

10 March 2010 at 20:36

Shows you the prob­lem with blindly fol­low­ing experts: They’re experts on the past. No one is an expert on the future.

Often, peo­ple “in the know” try to fit you into a mold of what’s come before. If it’s for­eign, strange, or new from how they’re used to work­ing, they’ll tell you it’s wrong.

Matt Lin­der­man on the impor­tance of keep­ing expert opin­ion in perspective.

That nor’easter? It ended up being weaker than expected here in New England.

Made for nice night time pic­tures, though.




On the road again

First busi­ness trip of 2010 and it’s a doozy.

My trip to Wash­ing­ton DC was post­poned because of the record snow­fall and its effect on trans­port into and out of the region. So instead, I snuck into Boston this after­noon ahead of the nor’easter that’s sup­posed to dump 9 inches of snow on the region.

Danger Third Rail

Given all the inclement weather, the third rail seems like the least of my worries.
