I figure there are three levels of bosses - the ones who are too smart to be sucked into hype (or employees who just want some out of the office training or conference time <s>), those that are too stupid to let their employees get tools they really need, and those who are neither. I figure the salaried employees who have bosses in the third category can get really enthusiastic about new technologies <g>
My boss (me) knows I'm a gold-bricking bullshtter who is looking for any excuse to noodle around with cool new stuff the minute there is a whiff of it instead of using what I already know (or almost know) to book billable hours so he tries to keep me on a pretty short leash (of course he's old and kind of senile so I still manage to get around him from time to time ... )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
