About the Author
Ike Pigott is a veteran communicator who got out of television news and back into life. Now working for Alabama Power, he specializes in corporate communications, but has interests that are all over the place. This site is as much for him as anyone -- to explain things that ought to be explained, explore ideas that keep him up at night, and connect concepts that are just begging to be joined. A personal site, opinions here are his and those of his commenters.Rave Reviews

Isaac, I’m sure I’m not the first person to tell you this — but I expect you to be collecting all of these and then self-publishing them into a digest, book, or booklet.
Next thing you know — and I kid you not — we’ll be seeing RSS feeds for Occam-isms in Gmail.
I LOVE these, ps.
Rock on until the break of dawn!

Thanks, Adam!
My hope is that one day, some publicist will find these quotes, and try to steal one for a celebrity to use in Reader’s Digest. Then, an army of loyal Occamites will blitz the media with complaints of theft, and I will be counter-sued.
Then I can go on Oprah, tell my story, and publish a fake autobiography about not being on her show.
It’s a crazy business model, but there’s not a lot of competition there.
