<UPDATE>
This blog platform has been providing increasing challenges over the past year. Yesterday I learned that people were having trouble leaving comments. One, Jen, was kind enough to email me her comment and I've included it at the end of this post. I'll only be posting two more times on this platform then moving my blog elsewhere.
Stay tuned...
</UPDATE>
I've written before that I read a lot. Honestly, I don't know many people who read more than I do. It's simply one of my preferred ways of learning.
Here I'd like to bring two such readings to everyone's attention:
Both of these books describe how careful observation of irregular events led to amazingly precise mathematical models that could predict future events with high accuracy.
Perhaps even more amazing, the observations were made without any -- any! -- fancy or high power equipment, just patience and the naked eye.
And of course, lots of conversation and thought.
Seems to me those last two are especially lacking in today's I need a number let me come up with a metric world.
But that's just my opinion.

I think there's a NextStage principle implicit in there!
Conversation and thought are wonderful, but I think patience may be the most important of all. Maybe part of the WAA certification should be baking a cake from scratch ;)
Joseph Response: ROFLMAO (and thanks for reading and commenting.

Please contact NextStage for information regarding presentations and trainings on this and other topics.
Sign up for the NextStage Irregular, our very irregular, definitely frequency-wise and probably topic-wise newsletter.
