Since I saw this in "DZONE WEEKLY" today:

"I started my career as a Software Engineer, and today I am very happy to be driving our company AdroitLogic. Since we are bootstrapped and lead by engineers..."

...I've been cogitating on the various (mis)spellings and meanings of the words pronounced "led" and "leed"

Perhaps we can all remember the correct spelling with a sentence or two:

If you lead by example, some will allow themselves to be led, but others will remain immobile, as if they had lead in their britches.

Something leads me to believe that Led Zeppelin was Live at Leeds. No? Then Who? ...that went over like a lead balloon, I reckon.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
