Making Ripples: post-corporate adventures in Floyd County Virginia: Year-End Chores

Year-End Chores

I have made some minor changes to this weblog so that it might be more useful to visitors.

I have added three new categories; Books, Working For Others, and Weblog as Power Tool. I have also rearranged posts in all categories so they may be more easily referenced.

Finally, I have added a disclaimer to my Mission Statement section as part of my weblog branding activity. Visitors to this site should now have a better idea of what to expect if they choose to use any of this information in their daily lives.

I could have written the disclaimer as, "For Entertainment Only" or "Professional Drivers on a Closed Course - Do Not Try This At Home," but most of the data is for use. If it is also entertaining, that's a plus.

It will produce results when applied as suggested. Just be sure you can handle the changes that may occur.

change.

An Irreverent View of Paradigm Shifts - Pt 1 Let me start with a working definition of paradigm shifts that might be easier to comprehend than traditional definitions: Paradigm shifts are simply changes that produce culture shocks of different magnitude. The word paradigm is quite old. Paradigm first appeared in English in the 15th century, meaning “an example or pattern,” and it still bears this meaning today. Paradigm shift was popularized by Thomas Kuhn in 1962, when he used...
