In the Red
Ordinarily, being “in the red” isn’t a great place to find oneself. I fully intend to inhabit that zone for the next few days:
So, see everyone back here on Monday?
If you missed it, here’s my explanation of why I like the Venn diagrams. Also, the preceding two posts (The Ants Go Marching and Killing the Goose that Laid the Orange Apple) are eerily related. They also add up to an interesting discussion about community. On Monday – being one to do more than pontificate – I’ll roll out the first phase of the solution.
So – back to the Red for me. Sorry about you guys in the Green. (And what do you know, PR does reside in the Gray Zone…)

We don’t really need a Reason to Be, but it certainly helps to occasionally step back and look at a larger picture. What is Occam’s RazR? What do I want it to be? It’s not what we saw from the first incarnation of the “personal weblog.” I don’t share everything here. I have Facebook, and
Symbolic Statements

We live in an age where information is too available. We have more facts than we can assimilate or use, and very little context. One of the ways we manage to transmit all of this information comes from research done in “packing” of information. How much can we compress data, then “unpack” it later without
Failure by the Numbers

Sudoku. It’s a logic puzzle that involves placing numbers or letters in a grid such that you get no repeating characters within a given row, column, or highlighted grid. I got a book of puzzles for Christmas, and things finally slowed down enough I could check it out. You’d think a publication so prestigious to
Less is More on Facebook

More than a few people have commented about the new Facebook Lite interface. I will simply add the impressions from a co-worker of mine who is blind. I suggested it to her this morning as we were discussing social networking, and how difficult some of the navigation can be. I had a hunch that the Lite

The following appeared in today’s Parade Magazine column from Marilyn vos Savant: Investors recently lost a large amount of money. But if others were not enriched by the same amount, where did the money go? —O. Slavinsky, Kansas City, Mo. Marilyn did a fine job addressing the notion of how gains on paper aren’t necessarily attached to
Venning an Election

This is a rare treat for me, as someone has taken the Venn concept and applied it to personal decision-making. Reader Brian Carpenter sent this in for thought and consideration. He does not claim it to be complete or universal, but found it an effective tool for rating those qualities voters would look for in
Why Does Facebook Hate My Wife
about 3 years ago - 4 comments
My Facebook experience is episodic, intermittent, and intense. I really don’t hang there much, but occasionally I get a flurry of requests from a new pack of old friends who have just discovered it and I interact with them a bit. Facebook is not my life. Recently, my wife asked me to get her started

Bastages! I’m on the line separating Work and Smoking, working so hot that I’m on Fire and you’re off dipping in the Red Zone? Doesn’t seem fair to me (but I’m sure you are having a fine time that’s well deserved!).
Keep up the good work. Oh, I’m still looking for the solution, so I’ll be back.
