An Engineer's Perspective Of How Blogs Work And Why These Need To Be Adapted For Serving Future Needs
Facebook. Twitter. Linked In. Blogs. Each use a distinctly different approach to Social Networking.
There is value in networking. It is a way to generate camaraderie, understanding, and support. Social Networking might be of the fill-in-the-blanks form. It may take the whom-do-you-know-that-I-could-get-introduced-to-and-become-drawn-closer-to-my-objective form. It could be of the this-just-happened-and-I-am-recording-it-live form.
Now examine archives. Junk which is saved or recorded for historical purposes is not the same as data that strives to shape a culture. Think of it like this: Is its value increased or diminished by redundant viewing?
Get rid of the infatuation with the words "new content." Go for "old and boring." It may be that the best option develops out of the tired, tried, and true perspective for living meaningful lives. The complication of life is that although "we may never pass this way again" someone else with an entirely different experience-base will pass this way again.
So how should blogs become contributors to a solution in this tricky arena? It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But ten pictures are the same as ten thousand words: Information Overload. In order to work smarter-faster we must dumb-down our expectations. Intuitively obvious data (for some) becomes a sudden leap of understanding (for others) and an indicator of good will. What would your great-great-great grandchildren say to you if they found your ear? Do you realize your resolve will be speaking volumes for years to come?

Want Perfect Cookies? Oatmeal Crispies Magic!
Tried and True: Vegetable Shortening. But What About Vegetable Oil?
Consider changing elements in your arsenal of standards to achieve desired uniformity and increase your know-how! Developmental, experimental, new...call it what you want. Unless we are willing to attempt operations "outside the box" every now and then we will never become adept at exercising judgment in unfamiliar circumstances..

- Gourmet baking sheets (coined edges add rigidity and these have a variegated baking surface).
- Cooling Racks: remove baked cookies from sheets immediately and place on cooling racks.
- Sturdy spatula (stainless steel) and clean both the spatula and cookie sheet between batches.
- Assemble all baking tools and ingredients in advance. Premix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk into uniformity prior to adding into wet mixture.
- Some recipes call for pregreased (spray with no-stick) sheets.
- Roll dough into quick balls between palms; use a "magic spoon" to take identical volumes of dough from the bowl. It may be possible to roll dough balls in advance and rest them on a stick-proof surface. Chill dough or allow set time (as required) to ensure complete mixing.
- Size cookie dough balls to achieve 9, 12, or 16 cookies per sheet (space in uniform pattern) which doesn't allow baking cookies (melting dough) to touch one another.
- Adjust baking times and temperatures accordingly. Preheat or reduce oven temperatures as desired.
- Packaging: separate by size, grade by quality, stack back-to-back, sort as required.

How Can I Help?
Become Most Honest
- Start by doing what I see needs to be done. Don't limit myself to that which has been done before.
- Take on second careers as though these are recognized and endorsed by others. The difference will be less support but more passion.
- When gratitude exceeds conscription then repayment is complete.

Engineering Economics
ROI--Return On Investment. What is it worth? What is anything worth? Value is in the eye of the beholder. I would do anything to protect that which I hold most sacred.
Supply and Demand. Inadequate and insufficient are unacceptable conditions. That's just the way it is. BS. Artificially induced limits are a marketeer's greatest ploy..
Salvage Value. When you trade hits with someone and play the losing game, be careful what you believe are unrecoverable losses.
Thirty years later...no, one year thirty times.

Intangible Goods
Whenever the focus of a career is on solvency issues, the shift in priorities necessarily mandates change will result for something! As a professional this restructuring of priorities must not be allowed to influence right-relationships (i.e. no collapses, failures, or unaccounted losses are allowed).
In simplest terms: tell me what you're thinking and I will work with you to reach an agreement.
