		<title>Community Seeking and Online Gaming in the Early 2000&#8217;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Communities played an important part in the online gaming experience during the early 2000&#8217;s, and I think there are lessons in there for today.
Time for a story. It&#8217;ll be fun and egregiously self-deprecating.
My first Real Time Simulation (RTS) game was Age of Empires I, back in 1998 or so. And I loved playing it online. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roger Martin, Michael Porter, and Re-imagining the Production Possibility Frontier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Michael Porter, in &#8220;On Competition&#8221;, appears to emphasize the importance of trade-offs.
Roger Martin, in &#8220;The Opposable Mind&#8221;, appears to de-emphasize the importance trade-offs.
Porter defines strategy is the process of making choices about activities that results in sustainable competitive advantage. Both books make reference to activity diagrams &#8211; so there&#8217;s unity and acknowledgement that choice matters. [...]]]></description>

		<title>WAA Research</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Preliminary results from a membership survey suggest a strong level of satisfaction with the work coming out of the Web Analytics Associations&#8217; Research Committee. And that&#8217;s heartening, since the volunteers do a lot of work.
I&#8217;ve participated in some of that research over the years, and it&#8217;s always pretty enlightening.
It&#8217;s good news.

		<title>The Seven Axioms and Predictive Validity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I published seven axioms over the past week &#8211; in a not so humble fashion. I&#8217;m taking the James Burke line to heart and just putting it out there.
The Seven Axioms are:
1. The purpose of analytics is to derive competitive advantage for the organization / firm / entity.
2. Data alone does not yield competitive advantage.
3. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Champagne Dreams on a Beer Bottle Budget</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reading Sam Ladner&#8217;s thesis.
It&#8217;s strong work, and quite possibly one of the best reading experiences I&#8217;ve had since &#8220;Reading Virtual Minds&#8221;.
On Page 149, there&#8217;s a quote in explaining the common occurrence for &#8216;fires&#8217; to occur as a result of low-ball estimation:
Curt: Why do they have the fires?
Sam: Yes
Curt: There could be a million different [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four Books, Simultaneously</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading four books simultaneously these days.
Of course, I shouldn&#8217;t really say simultaneously. I can only read one at a time. More accurate language would be &#8216;jumping between four books&#8217;.
The first is Sam Ladner&#8217;s excellent thesis on the commodification of time in the new economy. It&#8217;s a pretty awesome read.
The second is Gladwell&#8217;s latest [...]]]></description>
