  • Meta

    The first time I learned about the concept of “meta” (though not by that name) was in my undergrad when I was taking first year drama and we studied a play called Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello, which we were taught was “self-reflexive” ((Although I see it is described in the […]

  • Workshop

    Today’s blog posting is limited because I was too busy doing a workshop and then a conference planning teleconference and now I’m off to dinner and to see Avenue Q! The workshop was a great success – the participants were very engaged and seemed to like what I had to offer. It was also a […]

  • Niece

    Happy 12th birthday to my fabulous niece, Madeline! A few more years and we’ll be cheers-ing your birthday with real champagne!

  • Surreal

    I was at the grocery store today and looked at the headlines on the tabloids, as one does waiting in a grocery store line up. It turns out that the world has gotten so weird that the National Enquirer’s cover story is actually just the news.

  • Inventory

    “Inventory is evil” is what my supply chain management prof always used to say. Inventory is your money being tied up so you can’t use it. Inventory is risk – risk that you’ve put your money into making that product, but maybe you won’t be able to sell it or it will get stolen or […]

  • Elsewhere

    I wrote a posting for the blog of a conference for which I am a co-chair of the program committee. You should totally read it, if you are interested in reading a blog posting about how many people submitted abstracts to that conference. Also, it contains a loathed pie chart, but also an infographic that […]

  • Pool

    So I finally, after years of living in New West, went to the Canada Games Pool last night. My physio recommended that I try water running ((Yes, water running is exactly what it sounds like – running along a swim lane in a pool.)) as a way of being active while my hip isn’t 100% […]
