This is the game of Brew 98


I feel sorry for Venkat R. Gopalan:

Mr. Gopalan is a senior technology and process expert with over 20 years of experience in information technology, software development, systems integration and process improvement....

He has successfully led multiple efforts to achieve high maturity ratings and ISO certifications....


When I first read about high maturity process experts (not in connection with Mr. Gopalan, but with something else), I began wondering about low maturity process experts. I then imagined Mr. Gopalan in a site visit to the Customer From Heck:

YO, DUDE! WASSUP?

I'm Venkat Gopalan. I'm here for the initial SEI consultation.

DUUUUUUUDE! I THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T GET HERE UNTIL FRIDAY.

Well, I arrived on time.

KEWL. I'M CHARLIE. C'MON BACK TO THE THINK TANK.

This is an...interesting office.

HEY, VENKAT, LIKE, YOU KNOW PROCESS, RIGHT?

Uh...yes.

KEWL. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BEER BOTTLE DISPENSER I'M DESIGNING. SEE, THIS RAD BELT AND PULLEY SYSTEM TAKES THE BEER OUT OF THE ICE BUCKET ON THE CEILING, AND DELIVERS IT RIGHT DOWN...$%@!&$! THE BEER BOTTLE BROKE AGAIN!

Uh, do you have a towel or something? The beer spilled all over my CMM manual.

OH. SORRY, DUDE. SO, LIKE, CAN YOU HELP US GET THIS BEER BOTTLE DISPENSER WORKING?

Well...

I'M GONNA CALL IT CHARLIE'S BOOZE-O-RAMA. BUT I GOTTA GET A PATENT OR A TRADEMARK OR WHATEVER THE $%@& THAT IS. WANNA BEER? I'LL JUST REACH UP TO THE ICE BUCKET AND GET ONE.

Well...

In which we enter the alternative universe in which police always believe dreadlocked individuals

I previously raised the question about whether Interference Inc. was prompt in letting the authorities know that the so-called bombs in Boston weren't bombs. Now a new question has been raised - was Peter Berdovsky prompt in letting Interference Inc. know that the guerilla marketing campaign had gone sour? And should he have informed the on-scene officers that there was nothing to worry about? The issue was raised because Berdovsky videotaped police at a (supposed) bomb site. This is what the Associated Press said : One of the men criminally charged after placing blinking cartoon advertisements around the city videotaped a police bomb squad removing one of the electronic devices, but did not tell the officers the object was harmless. Surveillance cameras caught 27-year-old Peter Berdovsky videotaping officers removing what they thought was a possible bomb. But Walter Prince , Berdovsky's new layer (replacing semi-guardian Michael Rich ), puts a different spin on the whol...
