Some ideas

In my last post, I mentioned some of the ideas that I'd been thinking about for blog entries. Might as well create an entry to capture some (at least the ones I can remember:-).

1. Pithy things I've thought of (at least I think they are pithy):
1. Approach all conflicts/confrontations with the humility that you might be the one who is wrong.
2. Corollary to the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing different ways and expecting the same results is also a definition of insanity.
3. In response to some politician demanding more police for my "safety": We don't need more police, we have so many that we're storing them on the side of the road.
2. Why considerateness is so important despite being so rare.
3. Things I wish average drivers would do to make everyone's life better.
4. Why the Republican and Democratic parties aren't really different.
5. Processes
1. Why is prioritizing features so hard to accomplish when it's such a simple concept and what happens if you fail to prioritize.
   
2. The difference between size-based estimates and effort estimates
   
3. Why incremental and iterative are not the same thing
6. How awesome my family is!
7. Interesting programming experiences/languages, etc.
1. Why I hate mixed-mode languages
2. Why I hate meta-programming
3. Why hate is probably too strong a word to use in the above two points:-)
8. Interesting math or science articles and my take on them.
9. Grammar and language stuff that I find interesting
10. Cultural observations that I find interesting
