Once I was managing a gaggle of Geeks at a major ball bearing plant. One of the Geeks developed some sort of fancy “social network” thingy in his spare time, something about facilitating the communication of ideas that could increase productivity at the plant. I didn’t quite get it so I asked him to put some bouncing ball bearing cartoons on the front page that will tell users how the program works. And to also put something on the front that gives the current weather forecast, very useful stuff. His reaction? He said, “I’ll get right on that, George Lucas.”
He listened to my ideas and then called me George Lucas! I was stunned! He compared me to a genius filmmaker and someone who is obviously very important to the world of Geeks. The man invented Star Wars!
Well, you will be surprised to learn, it’s actually not good to be called George Lucas. To learn more, look up something called “Jar Jar Binks” on the Google.
