Welcome

Welcome to my corner of the web, where I keep notes on the business of developing software based solutions that collect data and turn it into intuitively actionable information.

IT Sections

The IT section covers the whole process of Application Development, among other topics.

The Glossary is an organised entry point to notes on industry technologies, protocols and products, and business terms one hears.

Presentations

To take your time going over a presentation I have given, view it again on the Presentations page.

Blog

Or simply read the Blogs during my Pomodoro breaks between trying to find solutions to problems under lack of time, budget and your average IT duress.

A blog about the current moment…

You Are Not Normal

Quetelet applied the same [Astronomical] thinking to his interpretation of human averages: He declared that the individual person was synonymous with error, while the average person represented the true human being.

“Et voila.”

Or more precisely: “C'est pas normal.”

“Otherwise unrelated domesticated animal species display a range of anatomical and behavioral phenotypes that set them apart from their wild counterparts: depigmentation; floppy, reduced ears; shorter muzzles; curly tails; smaller teeth; smaller cranial capacities; neotenous (juvenile) behavior; reduction of sexual dimorphism; docility; and more frequent estrous cycles. Biologists sometimes call this “domestication syndrome”. Comparing us to Neanderthals, with their larger teeth and brains, and more robust skeletons, it is hard to escape the conclusion that we are the domesticated rather than the wild variant of mankind. Recent genetic studies lend further evidence to this conclusion.”

Good term!

Marcel Fratzscher, head of the German Institute for Economic Research, isn’t only concerned about income inequality in Germany; he also worries about systemic barriers to social mobility. “I don’t have a problem with the top 10 percent,” Fratzscher told Die Zeit. “I have a problem that the bottom 40 percent are being left behind.”

country outcomes

My expectations of myself this coming year:

Actively Contribute to
1. communicating and re-establishing an understanding of the purpose of curricula, which is to
  1. developing the character and skills of the countries individuals to become:
    1. individual in creativity
    2. collaborative in effort
    3. collective in sense of justice
  2. in order to achieving well-being by
    1. valueless to valued (characterwise).
    2. self-esteeming themselves first,
    3. while gaining social esteem but relying on it only as a check-sum of their own self-assessment,
    4. progressing at their achievable pace along the continuum of:
      
      selfish to selfless,
      
      unskilled to skilled,
      
      helpless to helpful
2. to collectively improve the socioeconomic valuation of the country, which at its essence is the balance of its creativity versus its consumption of resources.
