Scott Adams' BlogIntroducing New Writers!
This might be the most exciting day in the history of Dilbert.com. I am delighted to introduce three new writers who will be blogging on these pages. Check them out:
0 CommentsHow Far in Advance do Cartoonists Work?
People always wonder how far in advance I work because Dilbert sometimes matches the headlines. Take this week: The Dilbert.com site was attacked by foreign hackers who launched multiple DDoS attacks. By coincidence, this week’s Dilbert strips are about Elbonian hackers breaking into Dilbert’s company network.
0 CommentsThe Best Lifestyle Might be the Cheapest Too
If you were to build a city from scratch, using current technology, what would it cost to live there? I think it would be nearly free if you did it right.
This is a big deal because people aren’t saving enough for retirement, and many folks are underemployed. If the economy can’t generate enough money for everyone to pay for a quality lifestyle today, perhaps we can approach it from the other direction and lower the cost of living.
0 CommentsI Hate it When Science Beats Art
Over at Business Insider they are running my Slideshare presentation (based on my book) about systems versus goals, and passion being overrated. But here’s the interesting part.
0 CommentsMay I Stipulate?
When a lawyer stipulates, it means he accepts a statement of fact as true without argument. Stipulating is a big time-saver in the legal world. I propose that we borrow the stipulating concept for our everyday conversations.
0 CommentsDDoS Attack on Dilbert.com
Okay, whoever launched the DDoS attack on the Dilbert.com servers this morning has to come forward, anonymously if you prefer, and tell me your motives. Just leave a comment here if you feel that is safe enough.
I’m hoping the attack came from female hackers because of my blog post yesterday on the lack of women in tech jobs. That would be perfect. If so, you made your point. Nicely done.
Yes, it cost me money.
If it was someone else, what is your point?
0 CommentsCan You Make Yourself Less Lazy?
I have seven personalities before lunch. The tired version of me is nothing like the well-rested me. The well-fed version of me barely recognizes the hungry me. Sometimes I feel aggressive, sometimes vulnerable, and so on.
And by different personalities I mean I have a different set of preferences and I make different decisions in each state. So if I have all of these different states with different preferences, who am I?
0 CommentsWhat is the Right Percentage of Women in Technical Careers?
I think everyone agrees there are not enough women in technical careers. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I started having meetings with other start-ups in the San Francisco Bay area. In the past year I’ve met perhaps a hundred male entrepreneurs with impressive technical experience who are launching their own companies. In that same year I have met zero women with technical backgrounds doing the same.
0 CommentsYour Best Orgasms are Ahead of You
Sexual arousal is mostly mental. That’s why a trained hypnotist can induce multiple hands-free orgasms in a willing subject. As a hypnotist, all you need to do is identify a person’s sexual fantasies from their normal conversation (a trick I learned in hypnosis class), add some verbal technique, monitor the reaction, and adjust accordingly. No trance needed.
