I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
Talking to Mandy last night about a discussion earlier in the day she said something like … “I filtered that conversation” which essentially meant: I’m too busy to think about that so I choose not to engage.
Now that we’re part of a bigger company I have to Filter out a bunch of things. It’s been interesting passing responsibilities for big chunks of work I used to sweat over to people much better at it than I am. There is so much stuff going on I have to actively Filter things.
I did the same thing with red wine many years ago. I decided I did not want to invest in thinking about wine. As a consequence I don’t get wound up on it and enjoy almost any red wine.
Filtering is a coping technique for our modern land complex lives. Hadn’t thought about that before but we do it all the time.
