He wont be seeing sunlight anytime soon. But hey, dont worry about your big government, Obama assures us that nothing can go wrong. I hear the NSA administraito rs are going to be going over to the IRS administraitor offices to help them run their programs too, or is it the other way around? […]

Weekend reflection process
RJ: the asker of great questions, asked: Hi Ken, Do you have anything written on a weekend review process for a trading journal and trade chart markups? Double loop learning requires review of work but I don’t have a well-defined process for weekend reviews. I searched the chatroom and your essays but either didn’t use […]
Approaching trading as a High Reliability Organization (HRO)
We know from scholarly and popular literature that 90% of new businesses fail in the first five years as an additional 90% fill in the next five years and yet there are groups of organizations that are remarkably successful while operating the most difficult of circumstances when you would expect failure to be the norm. […]
Dr Kenneth Ginsburg on resilience
just listened to a brilliant and human presentation on resilience and children by Dr Kenneth Ginsburg, and what we can do to help them weather life storms, deliberately and intentionally. Directly connects how I go about coaching my youth soccer teams, using athletics as the vehicle for important life lessons. his work is definitely worth […]
the engineering approach to problem solving
The hybrid approach you referred to I think reflects the sense of the sociotechnical process. I can’t imagine why people and organizations would not intentionally adopt that as the default position when considering organizational issues, and yet I see people polarizing around either or approach all time in my organization.

Digital workspaces and the atomization of human communication

George Lopez staying classy
Free speech is free. You get to judge it’s value. In the interest of fair play and equal opportunity, Lopex will turn his attention to the “authenticity” of Obama’s heritage, I guess, or whatever the point of his riff was. In the same interest of transparency, democratic pundits are calling for Barack’s birth certificate, and […]
Being young in America means you get to pay
Upholding Obamacare means young people now get to learn what its like to pay for everyone else’s healthcare and not just their Social Security now. Maybe this is why we don’t teach them math skills, so that they dont understand what we are doing to them
Advice on preparing for the defense
My good friend Tonya asked for some advice on preparing for her dissertation proposal defense. These were my thoughts on the dissertation defense (I misheard her). For the proposal defense, the focus is more on the procedural and methodological questions 🙂 They should ask you, and you should be prepared to give answers to these […]
Budget cutting by reducing farm subsidies
I see liberal commentators like Cenk Uygur applauding the reduction of 280B from the proposed budget, as an end to corporate crony capitalism. As if that’s not going to have an effect on the price of food, which is a disproportionally higher percentage of the budgets for the poor than the rich. Cut 280B from […]
