"I was listening to the radio this morning about Canada's similar program being exposed -- and i'm amazed the extent to which so many people have given up on the very idea of privacy. We accept big brother with no checks and balances based on a culture of fear that has been created by gov't and media. Time to re-watch Manufacturing Consent again." - leigh himel

Re: Stay-at-Home Parents, Working <br />Women, & TV’s ‘Modern Families’ - http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2013...
"I doubt that is the point. The name of the show is modern family and none of the women on the show work outside the home. That is certainly not typical anymore and is more reflective of the TV shows of the 1950's." - leigh himel

"there's a mcluhan quote about not looking backwards into the future that i love. we get the same thing when designing UX all the time... a redesign we did for GMCanada - we wanted drop down menus - no one had them - and they failed in xcountry testing. The client didn't care bc she liked them and recognized that just bc large corp weren't doing it didn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do. leading isn't about what the other guys do." - leigh himel
