My friend of over fifty years Michael McKeever, the man who changed my life in 1972, died yesterday. It’s time for praise not promotion, memorials not memes.

Last Will & Testament A Memoir In Poetry And Prose
This isn’t just about a book, it’s also about someone I think is extraordinary: the Reverend R Cameron Miller. I know Cam, but we haven’t met in person or even shared a phone conversation in forty years. We first met in 1976 when I was the alcoholism counselor for Saratoga County at the foothills of […]
Curating My Consumption
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Matthew 3:12, KJV Nothing like a fiery biblical quote to get the attention, eh? Today is January 6th, The Feast of the Epiphany for Christians, and […]
The InterWeb: Mechanism of Authority or Comfort Blanket?
In this post, we keep digging as to what the mechanism would be if this often repeated accusation that the voters heeded the messages from a right-wing sound system and that was why they ended up choosing a convicted felon, verified sex assaulter, and indicted insurrection inciter to be the 47th President of the USA.
Bad Attitudes in the Knowledge Economy
I have never felt more of a minority in this country than today. Not alone, but palpably aware that most of the attitudes of most of my fellow citizens are not anyway like mine.
Madelyn Blair Interviews Me on Reinvention
In a very welcome event where I managed to blend experiences and insights from both of my major careers — Chief Learning Officer and Playwright – – Madelyn Blair, executive coach, TV host, president of the Conscious Business Network on e360tv, and old friend from our days in the world of organizational knowledge and learning research, invited me to a discussion on reinvention. That […]
Six Steps Aiding Reinvention
Yep, I said in my previous post that CR Snyder proved that there were six steps to enacting a strategy of hope, steps that are a necessary element of successful reinvention. Nowhere will you find any claim that ascending those steps is easy. Heck, finding a free hour to even contemplate the steps can prove […]
Hope = Crucial Reinvention Strategy
(and I tell how a NYT article in 1991 revealed this to me) Yes, HOPE. The Jesuit scholar, William F. Lynch, defined hope as, “the fundamental knowledge and feeling that there is a way out of difficulty, that things can work out, that we as human persons can somehow handle and manage internal and external […]
A Christmas Dog’s Dinner
Yes, sit down (or stand up) for a special holiday canine repast of links about testing and its adjacent domains or what is known as a dog’s dinner this time. And why wouldn’t you be invited, anybody who is interested in measurement is part of a community. At least that seems to be the point […]
Dog’s Breakfast: Collected Links Going to Waste
In writing this entirely sporadic account of Testing: A Personal History, links surface in various streams where I wade: Twitter (could be leaving that ‘hellscape’ soon), LinkedIn, RSS Feeds, Newspapers, even emailed suggestions from faithful fans. Several that I will not likely get around to using in the near future deserve to be seen here […]
