How do we create the perfect party? Thursday, May 25, 2006. Restrooms: Hot Water, Size and Mirrors. Restrooms are an area of interest, as they are often the subject of subtle manipulations. An example occurred a couple of years ago, when some discoteques started disabling the cold water faucets in the restrooms. Why would you do this, you may ask? A second interesting point was made by Paco Underhill in his book Call of the Mall. Why on earth are men’s and women’s restrooms always equally big? A third ex...

How do we create the perfect party? Saturday, November 11, 2006. Frank and the Hidden Cost of Strawberry Daiquiris. Let’s say that you are the lucky owner of a prosperous bar called Frank’s Beer and Daiquiri that sells only two types of drinks, namely beer and (you guessed it) strawberry daiquiris. Interestingly, you have a crazy bartender called Frank who insists on deciding what people should drink. A customer will approach the bar and ask for a beer, and Frank will tell him, No! Well, maybe not. B...

How do we create the perfect party? Tuesday, April 25, 2006. A more socially oriented phenomenon is what I call Trigger Event s. Trigger Events are highly public events that happen at a party, and that serves as a precedent, establishing a certain mood for the rest of the evening. What happened next was fantastic. If was as if everybody looked around with a guarded look on their face, saw nobody reacting to it, and then thought to themselves, “Okay, what the hell, tonight is apparently that. Where the no...

How do we create the perfect party? Monday, August 21, 2006. Godot, the waiter. The aspect I hate to most about bars is not the queueing. It is the standing in an overcrowded bar, waiting for the bartender. To get to me so that I can order my drinks. For me, this is the worst part about the going out experience. And from the bar’s perspective, it doesn’t make sense either. People waiting means people not being served, money not being made. So what can be done? There’s always some discerning woman out the...

Wedellsblog: Fragments of Knowledge. Things of Interest and Fascination - A Complement to Wedellsblog Books. September 13, 2006. Re the phenomenon described in the 'Musical redemption' post below, I thought of another, interesting manifestation of the same thing. It happens when I write notes to myself. I literally cannot guess or remember what the idea was, based on my disjointed scribblings. This, by the way, is an instance of something I find fascinating, namely intrapersonal communication - in TRA.

Wedellsblog: Fragments of Knowledge. Things of Interest and Fascination - A Complement to Wedellsblog Books. October 21, 2006. The Reusability of Words. Like radioactive atoms, words have a half-life. Or rather, they have a recharge time, which is the time (or length of text) from you use it the first time til you can use it again without vexing the reader. But I’m not sure what it is.). But use nadir two times in the same book, as it occurred in a story I just read, and it hits the reader with all the l...

Wedellsblog: Fragments of Knowledge. Things of Interest and Fascination - A Complement to Wedellsblog Books. July 10, 2006. Why People Are Polite Towards Their Computer. Did you ever talk to your television? Have you ever given your computer a good angry whack because it didn’t behave? Fear not. You are not alone. Pronounced for this group. In effect, this ‘politeness’ is similar to the automatic politeness we show if someone comes up to us after giving a speech and asks, ‘So, how did I do? Written by Re...
