Sometimes I read the strange or odd news from Reuters: Oddly Enough. Today I found two stories that I found quite interesting and wanted to share.
The first one is about a real estate agent in Texas who is offering clients in law enforcement a free Glock pistol if they buy a home from her.
The other one is about a Texas lawmaker who is trying to get a bill passed that would allow the blind to hunt game just like anyone else.
I was reading an article from Yahoo! that Best Buy is currently testing a new work ethic.
“The nation’s leading electronics retailer has embarked on a risky experiment to transform a culture of killer hours and herd-riding bosses. The endeavor, called ROWE, for “results-only work environment,” seeks to demolish decades-old business dogma that equates physical presence with productivity. The goal at Best Buy is to judge performance on output instead of hours.”
Looks like it could be a winner with most of the employees at Best Buy HQ and it could be testing it throughout all of its stores as well, making it the first retail company to have no schedules or mandatory meetings.

Here’s a great Xbox parody of “sexy back” by Justin Timberlake that On10.net did.
