Ultralinx: The 36 rules of social media. (infographic)

Derangement and Description: Will digitization solve my problem? A helpful flow chart (h/t Peter Kurilecz)

Sharegate: Designing Site Requests in Your SharePoint Governance Plan. Good article and links to previous articles on this topic. The author, Benjamin Niaulin, is a SharePoint MVP and Tweeter. And this is a superlative example of how vendor content can be highly educational and not at all "sales-y".

Chris O'Brien: Office 365 SharePoint hybrid - what you DO and DO NOT get. 

SharePoint Maven: 12 reasons folders in SharePoint are a bad idea.

Geekishly, wickedly awesomesauce-filled cool: Toccata and Fugue in D-Minor (On Floppy Drive Organ).

Tattoo ideas

Been thinking about getting tattoo #2 for a while now and I'm a bit torn.

The Idea. 
As many people know I served in the Marine Corps, and spent some time as a drill instructor molding young men into Marines. So the one I've been thinking most about is a riff on one of my favorite saying, "Pain is weakness leaving the body" with either a Marine Corps emblem, a drill instructor campaign cover, or something else in the middle, along the lines of this but with that saying replacing the red text shown:

I've also gotten quite a bit into the idea of duality with some combination of a marine in dress blues, a Spartan, a drill instructor, etc. So was thinking about some riff off of the following images:

And perhaps most geekily, I'm increasingly fascinated by the World of Warcraft Horde logo:

The Location.
I'm still old-school enough that I think ink should be able to be covered by a standard polo shirt. So no Mike Tyson designs for me. Yet. I'm OK with biceps area and I don't think any of these would be objectionable (except to Alliance players - and who cares about them?) if they peeked out from under a short sleeve. Calf/ankle are also possible, as is left side of chest or right shoulder - I already have a tattoo on left arm.

Other Considerations. 
Not looking to spend thousands of dollars on this, so size does matter. And I need to schedule/get it when it won't interfere with other duties - so most likely before my next public event if possible so it's healed/healing by then. That gives me about 6 weeks.

Anyway, that's it. Feel free to send any comments or other suggestions to me at jwilkins13@gmail.com or @jessewilkins on Twitter.
