Inventing Elephants

The Best

At the beginning of 2009 I stated that my goal was to make this blog more outward facing, to consider what was important to the reader, and to go after a larger vision for the future. I feel that I accomplished the first part, although made little progress towards the second.

Some of my posts are being discovered by people using search engines. Other posts have impressed someone enough that they've referred their own followers here. I'm grateful for these readers and referrers.

The Worst

I've had two extended periods where I simply haven't blogged. This isn't good for me or helpful to you. And the longer they go on the easier it is to pay attention to other things instead and to not write about what I'm thinking that's relevant to the topics to be explored here, even though I need them to reach my long-term goals.

The New Year

I intend to publish at least a post every week on Tuesday. Even if they don't meet my internal quality standards for myself. I have some innovation posts to finish up, then I want to get back into systems thinking for awhile, and then into some scientific ideas that apply from a sideways point of view.
