Why “Occam’s RazR”?

Every blog needs a punny title.  Seriously.

The title ought to be some type of thematic reflection upon the deeper themes within.

William of Occam was a philosopher who thought that real solutions ought to be simple.  Given two explanations for a phenomenon or process, nature tends to gravitate to the more elegant of the two.

RazR?  It’s a phone.  A nice one at that.  Full of more bells and whistles than I will ever use.

I have a feeling Occam’s RazR would have 10 digits, no camera, no ringtones, no text messages, and no fancy display.  No Bluetooth, no wallpapers, no USB jack, and no frills.  It would probably have a hardwire.

    What can I say? I totally agree with you – and Occam - and now, having found your site (through a quote on a slideshow about social media – love the linkages that come in random/deliberate fashion) I feel I’ve expanded my family yet again. Ancient roots in some shared ancestor, no doubt.
    Keep up the good work.
