Why did we send Rumsfeld instead of Powell to Pakistan and India? Rumsfeld is not a diplomat. Powell is. It’s like sending Worf instead of Picard.

My theory: Rumsfeld is letting those guys know that if they prepare their nuclear missiles for launch the U.S. military will take those missiles out.

I recently read the book Free Agent Nation (which has a website). It’s about people like me: free agents, consultants, writers, independent developers, home office folks.

If you’re a free agent or thinking about becoming one I recommend this book to you. It was fun to read—inspiring, even. And it opened my eyes to the shape and implications of the free agency trend.
