So, here we go again. My previous blog fell to the wayside once work started picking up…but now I am back!
How will this blog be different than the previous attempt?
In preparation for version 2.0 I have:
- Chosen a (hopefully) better tool box to write with. Avinash provide a great primer of the tools he uses, and a conversation with Eric Peterson that confirmed my suspicions. Movable Type was not the right platform for me.
- Set a goal to write at least one interesting post per week. How will I measure this?
- I can measure posts per week easily. The hard part is writing them.
- Interesting is difficult to measure. I will do this with metrics and outcomes like:
- Number of trackbacks per post
- Technorati Rank change from today
- I can measure posts per week easily. The hard part is writing them.
- Thought about the various things I would like to write about. 1 post per week is still 52 posts for a year. However, I have hope because there are a lot of analytics memes to be written about.
- Found inspiration with my first efforts and the people that have linked to me, asked me for more, and said you should write about this or that.
So, if you are still reading, thanks for the encouragement, poking fun of, help and upcoming lunch to get the blog going again.

Welcome back. It is hard to think of and then actually write posts. Sometimes you have to go with a half-formed thought. sort of like this comment.
What was the inspiration for your domain name? I ask because tonight I was reading A Computer Perspective by Charles & Ray Eames and learned of the passionate statistician, Florence Nightingale. This instantly reminded me of your blog, and now I’m here… now I’m gone.
Michael - thanks
David, the inspiration was based on my belief that the element that can’t be faked (well), bought, or taught is passion. It is so important to success that without it people process and technology are just going through the motions and can’t effectively engage to move forward.
