		<title>Sorting with Sound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[via Geek.com -- yes, I subscribe to stuff like this in my RSS reader &#8230;

I thought this was interesting on two levels &#8230;

The Engineering student within appreciates the differences in sorting techniques (although I think I could speed up that bubble sort &#8230;)
I also think these videos provide a simple illustration of the power of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Magic In the Middle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know where I first heard that phrase, or  what it originally meant, but I have been using it a lot in the last few  weeks &#8230;
Consider the entire user population for any  web site or application. You can generalize all user populations into  three Pareto-inspired groups …

		<title>Defining Business Benefits: Hard and Soft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All projects should have a clear objective, a practical plan,
and an understanding of the costs and benefits to  get the thing done.
Easy to say, but a lot of project teams  struggle to crisply and clearly define specific business benefits. One  way to move the process forward would be to have a clear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Calculating the Business Benefit of Effective Training Material (4 of 4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In previous  notes, I&#8217;ve written about the importance of training and, by extension, effective training material. It&#8217;s a common requirement in many organizations &#8230;
&#8230; well, actually more of a &#8220;nice to have&#8221;, am I right?
Truly effective training material is difficult to create (at least, to create material that does the job),  and difficult [...]]]></description>

		<title>Capturing Knowledge, and Making in &#8216;Transferable&#8217; (3 of 4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve talked about the importance of training material, and ways to make it &#8220;findable&#8221;. The next level of &#8220;active laziness&#8221; is to build material  that doesn&#8217;t require the Subject Matter Expert&#8217;s presence to be  effective. Need to train 100 people in 10 states &#8211; all within one week?  You need to move [...]]]></description>

		<title>Capturing Knowledge, and Making in &#8216;Findable&#8217; (2 of 4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Previously, I talked about the critical importance of capturing knowledge, and capturing it effectively. Let&#8217;s assume, for now, that the organization has bought off on the idea that capturing this information is worth doing &#8211; and, that they are doing it well. Let&#8217;s also assume that all of our content is stashed on a reasonably [...]]]></description>

		<title>A &#8220;New&#8221; Critical Requirement for Business Projects (Part 1 of 4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we continue the deep dive into questions like &#8220;how do I get  information required to run my business?&#8221;, we inevitably get to training &#8211; more specifically, training on &#8230;

&#8230; the  business / functional domain, and [your company's] self-image and  self-awareness in that domain (who we are, and how we talk)

		<title>A Hierarchy of Information Requirements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's a common problem statement - 'I don't have enough information to  (run my business unit, manage this process, identify opportunities,  etc.)'. The solution designer, when faced with a question like this, starts with a little detective work; the problem is too broadly stated.]]></description>

I took that as a sign &#8211; I rework the look / feel of things around here every three years or so (this is Version 4.0 of the web site, as it [...]]]></description>
