In Computer Science, we have data and metadata. Allow me to illustrate. ‘City’ is metadata. ‘Austin’ is data (at least in my case). Notice that to have a complete understanding, we must have both the metadata and the data. ‘Austin’ as a piece of data could be someone’s first name or last name. ‘City’ is… Continue reading Concept versus Experience
[ I originally posted this in December of 2010. It ages so well, I decided to repost it. ] Do you know the difference between the words discreet and discrete? We’re more familiar with discreet. A few synonyms are: subtle, cautious, tactful, prudent, and inconspicuous. (See Inconspicuously Unrelenting.) Discrete, on the other hand, is less… Continue reading Disimprisionment (Repost)

I then found myself comparing man’s definition of law with nature’s definition. I then started thinking about gravity (as an example of a natural law). [I will expand on all of this a bit… Continue reading Law

I'm still learning the ropes with video. The podcast is just under 30 minutes long. If you don't see the video below, you… Continue reading Podcast: Ease
Today is 11/22. By some measures, it is the most interesting day of the year. For one, it is a double master number. For two, it is the transition from the most internally intense sign to the most externally expansive sign. In one view, it is when we get flipped inside out. It is where… Continue reading Us versus Them
