The Blog About the Blog

• This weblog was originally about learning by teaching people things.
• I may actually create a sub-site with that aim in mind but I have a different need at this point.
• I need a way to communicate with product collaborators on designs and prototypes so that is the major thrust of the site nowadays.

Upstream and Downstream

Topics on this site are in two main sections -- upstream or downstream. I borrowed some terminology from my days in petrochemicals -- upstream means raw materials; downstream means finished products. My investigation cycle is as follows:

Upstream

• Problem Identification
• Cost/Benefits Analysis
• Proof of Concept and Dependencies
• Market Identification
• Minimum Viable Product

Downstream

• MVP Refactoring and Market Alignment
• Sales and Marketing Activites

A lot of older content from the previous site was of the 'upstream' variety so it will now go under that folder from now on. For (many) years I was a 'developer for hire' which meant whatever I produced belonged to my client(s). I have not worked in that capacity for some time and am free of those constraints so now I am now producing solutions for the public at large.

RSS

Every folder has an RSS file at the index.rss so it is easy to keep up to date on anything at this site. Here are some online resources for different RSS readers available online for free.
