If You Give a Mouse a Cookie…

Posted under How I See It, Work

For those who have kids or are kids at heart, you all know this book very well.  My kids’ loved it along with “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” and the follow up “If You Give a Pig a Pancake.” 

 

Something about animals and food always draws our attention, why is that?

 

The title of this post came to me as I was pondering the last couple of days.  Too much idle time is a dangerous thing, just ask my wife. 

 

Work is slow because of the company takeover and there just isn’t enough to do.  So being the “geeky” tech that likes to tinker with things, I decided I’d screw around with my blog site.

 

The last time I did that back in December; I blew up the whole thing.  You do one thing wrong and it sometimes just spirals out of control. 

Welcome to my world.

 

Back to the analogy with the book.  In the story the mouse is given a cookie then he’s going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give him the milk, he’ll probably ask you for a straw; and then so on and so on.

 

Give a “teckie” a blog site and he’ll want to change the format.  Then he’ll want to change widgets.  Then he’ll ask for more plug-ins.

 

So, as you see I’ve got a new site up and running. 

 

So far….
