There are a lot of definitions of efficiency, but I think my personal favorite
is,” the ratio of output to input in any system.” If what you get is close

We human like bold moves. How many of us have cheered out our favorite teams who
put up the winning, homerun, touchdown, goal, basket, etc when there is no time
on the clock and the air is thick with tension? Or how many of us have made a
big change in life and thought, “I’m starting a new chapter,” ceasing to
realize that the turn of each page is just as important?

I don’t often discuss topics like this on the blog, in fact I believe this is
the first time, but an article I read made me think. The article in question is

this title is that it almost connotates that sexism is only in the open source
community and not rampant in IT in general.

will be seeing a surge.

Intuitive is a word that gets thrown around a lot. You will see it in press
releases, reviews, sales literature, and pretty much on anything that carries
some form of interaction. Intuitive interface, intuitive controls, design,
layout, well heck just take any word and slap intuitive on it and you can be
your own marketing team.
