Ground control to theatregoers
The Australian: "AUDIENCE participation at the theatre used to mean that if you were sitting in the front row you had to be prepared to duck, blush or cringe.

The 22 minute meeting
Scott Berkun: "No one likes meetings and for good reason. In most meetings, most of the time, most people think most of what goes on is a waste of time.
So what if you took out all of the stupid, wasteful stuff and left only the useful parts?
