Your baby is ugly

Another useful concept for technical communication sessions.

Your baby is ugly

My consulting company is owned by a great woman with lots of tech industry savvy. Just lately she gave me the phrase for it: "You can't tell someone their baby is ugly, no matter how you disguise the statement". And it can be very true. No matter how many people laugh at the pictures behind their back, it will never be ugly to a parent

Johannes Linstead

Johannes Linstead


"Spanish guitar, Greek bouzouki, and Gypsy violin come alive in MEDITERRANEA the fifth CD by Billboard charting guitarist/composer Johannes Linstead. Close your eyes and experience the passion and mystique of far away lands in songs like 'Journey To Alcazaba' - a seven minute masterpiece destined to become a classic among guitar aficionados. Johannes reveals his tender side in the romantic 'Estrellas Sobre Ella' where guitars and violin swirl in melodic melancholy accented by beautiful vocalizations. Features musicians from countries as diverse as Greece, Syria, India, the Ukraine and others. Johannes and his group are joined again by violinist Vasyl Popadiouk. Available everywhere, including Barnes and Noble, Sams, and Borders, on September 14th in the US, and September 28th in Canada. Other territories may have later release dates.
New Shows Added!"

At last I found a guitarist, whose concert I want to visit. (And strangely enough it's not without a touch of Ukraine too!).
