    Interviewing for creative intelligence/lateral thinking (analytics position)

    Any idiot can write SQL queries and play in Excel and produce reports for the sake of producing reports. We need someone that is able to think beyond the textbook/standard KPI's and interpret data in a meaningful way. Without turning it into a technical interview, what questions would you ask?

    Helmets: What's a good price/performance value?

    Need a backup helmet and I'm reluctant to shell out $500+ for a piece of gear that has a limited shelf life regardless of usage. But I'm also not willing to buy a $100 POS helmet that'll start to fall part the first time I use it. :laughing What brands/lines should I investigate? Thanks! :teeth

    2nd gen SV650 as commuter or...?

    Just recently condemned myself to a 100 mile/day commute and I feel badly about flogging my 600RR in that way (I actually like the damned thing). Not to mention it'd be nice to get something that may have a lower TCO/better gas mileage. I'm considering the following criteria: Inexpensive--so I...

    School me on the Lancer Evo

    Which year & trim to pick up? I hear that the six speed in the '06 MR is dubious. True? Let's face it, it's a Mitsubishi. Something's going to blow up. But what and when? Not particularly worried about cost of ownership but it would be nice to know what to look for when shopping around. Some...

    Talk to me about (rigorous) expense/revenue forecasting methodology

    I've actually never looked at it outside of an academic perspective so some insight from those who actually do it for a living would be greatly appreciated. :teeth In my particular case, I'm looking at a relatively young firm (4-5 years old) experiencing rapid growth. How would I, with...

    2005-2006 Honda CBR600RR Jardine RT-One slip-on exhaust

    The logo became faded the last winter (rain riding maybe?) but the exhaust is otherwise fine. Gives the bike a nice throaty sound without making it obnoxious--even the missus liked the sound. :laughing Located in Alameda and the first $140 takes it. :) And please forgive the camera pic... in...

    2001 Honda Civic DX Coupe Manual/Black/128K+

    Great as a beater, commuter or first car for someone wanting to learn how to drive stick. We regularly saw 36 mpg in 880 traffic (Milpitas<>Oakland) but we've seen 40 mpg while slabbing it on I-5 to LA and such. It has the classic Honduh super long throw of hilarity and the clutch is super...

    Moving sale: Cheap filing cabinets & bed/night stand(?) Yeap, too lazy to move these items: Two filing cabinets free to a nice barfer! They have a few cosmetic blemishes but they lived in our garage so it never bothered us. You'll need a truck or van to pick these guys up. Situp bench gone...

    "Nice" places to live near Alameda?

    I'm not terribly familiar with the east bay so input would be great as to what the "nice" neighborhoods are. To start, the definition of "nice" neighborhoods according to the missus is as follows: She always thinks I'm making fun of her. :laughing One thing is that we really need is a garage...

    Live in the south bay? Want your dog(s) groomed for cheap?

    Holland America: Mexican Riviera Cruise thoughts?

    So the missus really likes Holland America in Europe--the food, activities, demographics (older crowd). She wants to try the Mexican Riviera cruise with Holland America since we don't have time to fly out to Europe/Asia but we've never done a south-bound domestic cruise so we don't know what the...

    Textiles (Aerostich?) over dress clothes = viable solution?

    So what say you? I normally haul my work clothes in my backpack and change out of my leathers in the office. However my employment situation has changed such that I will no longer have this option but I will be needed in meetings of the shirt & tie flavor, scattered throughout the bay area...
