12/11/2019 - 12/25/2019: "I Remember Nothing" - Anne Billson, The Best Horror of the Year: Volume 11 (2019) ed. by Ellen Datlow and all the following. Ellen's recommendation in this volume is what got me to read Rutger's The Anomaly last month which I really enjoyed. I ordered one or two other of her recommendations as well, although my current queue is like 20 books lone.
Monkeys on the Beach by Ralph Robert Moore
Painted Wolves by Ray Cluley
Shit Happens by Michael Marshall Smith
I enjoyed this one - I get along with his writing style.
You Know How the Story Goes by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
Back Along the Old Track by Sam Hicks
Masks by Peter Sutton
The Donner Party by Dale Bailey
Interesting alt history, although I intuited the ending far in advance.
Milkteeth by Kristi DeMeester
Haak by John Langan
Maybe my favorite. Peter Pan alternative. Genuinely Cthulhu lore style.
Thin Cold Hands by Gemma Files
A Tiny Mirror by Eloise C. C. Shepherd
I Love You Mary-Grace by Amelia Mangan
The Jaws of Ouroboros by Steve Toase
More scifi than horror in my opinion, but scary scifi, I'll give it that.
A Brief Moment of Rage by Bill Davidson
Golden Sun by Kristi DeMeester, Richard Thomas, Damien Angelica Walters, and Michael Wehunt
White Mare by Thana Niveau
Girls Without Their Faces On by Laird Barron
Thumbsucker by Robert Shearman
You Are Released by Joe Hill
End of the world tale. More realism than horror story.
Read a LOT more from Snowplow besides this article. A lot. So much. We've been talking event tracking and streaming, so I was interested in their details.
Company, team, and personal >> line of sight (in my old org)
Not the how, the goal.
Objectives: "ambitious, qualitative, time bound and actionable "
Key results: numeric-based expressions of success or progress towards an objective. No more than 4 per objective.
My concerns...these are experiments. And the boldest changes are true experiments with concrete demos in front of real customers. See the Sprint book >> you might not know what you're going to produce until you dig in (so maybe the goal is to dig in before the quarter starts).
Business specific. Ambitious. Less is more. Not a task list. Public. Grade them mid-term. Grade between 0 and 100 (0 and 1). .6 to .7 is success! (woo, we are C to D students!)
Cascading OKRs. (line of sight)
12/2/2019: The Root Causes of Product Failure by Marty Cagan at Mind the Product San Francisco [49:14] - Ofeliya had me watch this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dccd8lihpQ
