The Crowdsourced Looking Glass

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

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

(Inspired by this.) Birmingham, AL (NOPRWEB) December 2, 2008 — What’s better than soaring to the top of a popular social networking site? How about being at the very top of the entire planet?

Due credit goes to Tim Walker over at Hoover’s Business Insight Zone, for pointing out the need for a sub-prime primer. However, as the parent of a four-year-old and a four-year-old who just inherited an additional $540 billion in bailout this week (on top of the $840 billion that everyone already knew about,) I felt
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
The Dream Job

When I was interviewing for my current job, I was asked why I wanted it. True, everyone loves getting a paycheck (and some even love being employed.) But my answer came back to the intersection of things I enjoyed. I actually traced the following diagram on my desk for the interview committee: These are three
Too Simple
about 3 years ago - 5 comments
If there is a unifying there here, it’s in explaining the seemingly complex in the most simple way possible. Occam’s Razor is a means of comparing multiple explanations or theories, with the notion that the simplest is likely the truth. However, many people are guiding themselves by the fallacy that the simplest explanation is the
