New buisness term: Bike shed

I love the guys over at 37 signals because they find ways to give terms to things that happen throughout your work that encapsulates that thing perfectly. The newest of those is: Bike shed.

Bike shed = Spending way too much time going around and around about things that don't really matter.

This is a perfect example of what some of the meetings that I am in. You spend a half of a day discussing what font type and weight should be for highlighted content pieces. Enough already. I am going to do my best not building any bike sheds.
