The feelings of the Chinese people get mentioned a lot.

Google Maps has very little information about Jordan.

One of the more fun aspects of my job is meeting with people from outside the company and getting to do some fashion-centric psychology. Today's meeting, for instance:

The President/head of the group was wearing:
-a pretty inexpensive suit (Charles Tyrwhitt, I think)
-a Brooks Brothers non-iron white oxford-cloth button-down collar shirt
-a polka dot tie
-2 month old BlackBerry

His 2nd in command, who is much younger:
-a more expensive Brooks Brothers suit
-spread collar shirt with mitered cuffs
-an Hermes tie

The meeting revealed a dynamic that I've seen fairly often - the guy who built the business has a different set of priorities than the guy next to him. He's worried about making the right decisions and he's a total gadget dork. The other guy is deflecting blame off of himself and bloviating.

Also, one of the marketers that came along with them was wearing a watch that marketed at the wealthy but uninformed.
