Name Change

I decided that Life of Balls wasn't a really good name for my blog. For one, its a bit crude to name it balls. Second, there's some other guy named brian that has a blog called lifeofbell. I decided that it was too close for comfort.

Here we are at Friday Fives at Six. This is a reference to the office morale booster that I created when I was working in Boston. The concept is simple. On Fridays, at 6 pm, if you're still in the office, high five the people around you. There are tons of things to celebrate. You've all made it through another week. The weekend is likely about to get rolling in full effect. If it isn't, the high five can recognize all of the great work you've done this week already.

With my (two?) readers' help, I'm going to try to take this thing global. In Boston, we had a couple of us running around the office high fiving everyone (they've since added a beer cart). I don't expect that to happen everywhere. It doesn't really scale and, in this Web 2.0 age, everything needs to scale. Tomorrow, and every Friday following, if you are still in the office at 6, please high five the dudes (and/or dudettes) sitting right next to you on either side (and crack open that warm can of beer you keep in the drawer to the right, on the bottom, behind the competitive analysis but in front of the quarterly budget, I know its kind of hidden down there, but you can reach it). That could set in motion a domino effect whereby high fives reverberate throughout the office and then the country and then the globe!

YES, WE CAN!
