Stats

98.56% percent of people who take stats find it to be seriously painful. This is a fact that I just made up. I also made up a p-value of .000000001, which means that it's statistically significant within my own mind.

Maybe I should be a writer?

I've been wondering what I should be when I grow up.

I've posted before about ROWE. It occurred to me tonight that there are some jobs that really are now already quite focused around results. Years ago I thought I was choosing one of these careers (software development). For the most part I was wrong.

There is much that has caused me to become disillusioned with the software and technology industries. Someday these will advance. I know this, but from my vantage point, they have a long way to go.

I've though about continuing on for my PhD in order to become a college professor (which I do believe is generally about results...again maybe I'm fooling myself).

I've mostly thought about starting businesses. Then I could create the environment I want.

But maybe part of what I should be looking at is writing. I think that I could enjoy communicating with writing, whether it be opinion or instruction. Developing my skill with writing can only serve me well with whatever I do.

So now is probably a good time for me to start practicing. Blogging seems a natural way to do this. Especially since no one really reads my blog anyway....at least for now ;)

No wonder I keep wanting to listen to bread

I think I'll go listen to some Pantera on Pandora at Panera.
