Just off a plane after a whirlwind week back in San Francisco, so a little bleary-eyed, and haven’t been great at updating the blog lately.  I took a bunch of marketing photos while in SF though, and hope to post some of the them over the next few days.

I jotted the pencil sketch of this cartoon on the turbulent plane thinking about how convoluted decision-making can be.  There’s that old saying that a failure to decide is still a decision.  Of course, I’m guilty of this too.

It cracks me up whenever I hear, "let’s take this decision offline", in a meeting because the subtext feels like a welcome delay tactic.  Everyone’s relieved to just keep the meeting moving.  It reminds me of this classic New Yorker cartoon:
