the Infinite Monkey speaks: the benefit of the doubt

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

Since I want the benefit of the doubt from others, I will have to freely and liberally give the benefit of the doubt first. I will have to take what I know about myself and my sometimes less-than-stellar ways in the world and assume similar good excuses for friends and family.

The Vacationers have a Query Session

So, if you’ve been here for a while, then you might know that I do this thing I call Queries.

Ok, so they’re questions, but that doesn’t sound as cool as Query. So I ask a bunch of people a random question and then I post the answers. It’s fun to see how people think alike or different and how we can come at the same question from a lot of different angles.

But I’ve only done one this year! What’s wrong with me?

While we were on vacation, I asked my family and friends to do a query session for my podcast and they said yes. They answered a bunch of questions like “What makes a person beautiful?” and “Would you do something wrong or illegal if you knew you wouldn’t get caught?”

If you’d like to hear how that went (it was fun), click here to visit my podcast site!
