Where I grew up, we had a decent-sized lot that bordered a vacant field to the back. I decided to use some of that field for a garden, which I researched and designed. Here's the diagram I used to decide the dimensions, layout, and position of different types of crops. |

I'm in the process of curing myself of my packrat ways, at least in the physical sense. I'm going through my many boxes of stuff collected over the years and scanning what can be scanned digitally and throwing out as much as possible. This section of the web site features some of those scanned items. Eventually, I'll get everything integrated in the main autobiography articles. |

Over the next few weeks I plan to post a series of articles describing some of my political beliefs in hopes of spreading the message that there are others out there (many more than you probably imagine) whose beliefs don't fall neatly under the categories of Democrat and Republican (or even liberal or conservative). I figured I should start the series by describing how my thinking evolved. The truth is, I've always been a libertarian. It just took me some time to realize it. |

A while back, the members of my team participated in an Insights Discovery process session. Insights Discovery consists of a personality questionnaire completed by each team member followed by an analysis and group session to discuss the meaning of the results to facilitate improved communication and synergy between team members. We found the results very enlightening and I've noticed improvements in team interactions since we went through the process. I'd like to do it again to include team members who have joined us since. |

A coworker recently sent me a link for a company's website promoting a cool concept for dealing with email overload. Seriosity's Attent borrows some ideas from the online role playing gaming world and provides a way to attach virtual currency to emails you send and receive. When you send an email, you attach an amount of virtual currency, called "Serios". You attach the number of Serios you think the email is "worth", meaning the amount required to get your email read. The recipient (assuming they are also an Attent user) sees the number of Serios you attached and emails with the most float to the top of the inbox. |
