Clever heading here – Welcome

Just a place for me to put my random thoughts …

  • random troubleshooting thoughts

    I use a free service called https://letsencrypt.org/ for my “personal” sites ssl/tls certs. The automated cert install usually sets up automatic renewal at 3 month intervals. I’m honestly not sure – mostly because it has “just worked” for my minimal usage. THEN – I had an issue with my “classical music streaming” example site (now…

  • experience, time in service, and understanding

    Another of my quixotic projects is making a video production of reading Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essays – which I’m sure would appeal to maybe a handful of folks worldwide. BUT considering my track record in “estimating market potential” something that I think has zero potential would probably perform better than the ideas that I think…

  • statistics vs analytics, sports in general and bowling in particular

    what a title – first the youtube video demo/pitch for the “bowling analytics” product … statistics vs analytics Yes, there is a difference between “statistics” and “analytics” – maybe not a BIG difference but there is a difference. “Statistics” is about collecting and interpreting “masses of numerical data.” “Analytics” is about logical analysis – probably…

  • geeks, nerds, and reboots

    memes Merriam-Webster tells me that the word “meme” dates all the way back to 1976 (coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene) with the meaning of “unit of cultural transmission.” Apparently the “-eme” suffix “indicates a distinctive unit of language structure.” Dr Dawkins combined the Greek root “mim-” (meaning “mime” or “mimic”) with “-eme”…

  • radio.iterudio.com – now radio.clancameron.us

    … this was kind of a “web design” exercise/proof of concept functionally this is a “web radio” front end – there is an “on/off” button that toggles playing the stream I’m told that the Safari web browser might have issues playing the stream – so this is kind of a “beta test” request the music…

  • leadership is communication, “winning”

    I wrote a long post that either needs editing or deletion – but at least it served as “pre writing” for this post. status quo If you want to be precise the “status quo” is simply the “current situation.” Which technically means that whatever is happening at the moment is the “status quo.” Usually the…

  • “great resignation”, part-time employees, engagement

    I think I have commented on my love of “buzzwords” enough – that we can just jump into the “great resignation”/reshuffle/reprioritization/recognition/whatever … SO a significant number of people are choosing NOT to go back to jobs they obviously found “unsatisfying.” Trying to come up with a single reason “why” is pointless – because there (probably)…

  • buzzword bingo, pedantic-ism, and the internet

    just ranting One of the identifying characteristics of “expert knowledge” is understanding how everything “fits” together. True “mastery” of any field with a substantial “body of knowledge” takes time and effort. Which means there are always more people that “know enough to be dangerous” than there are “real experts.” Which is really just recognition of…

  • leadership, generals, and politicians

    I developed an interest in “leadership” from an early age. The mundane reasons for this interest aren’t important. It is even possible that “leaders” are/were a pre-requirement for the whole “human civilization” thing – i.e. we are all “leaders” in one form or another if we are “involved with other people.” SO an interest in…

  • Dune, dreams, predictions and prophecy

    I probably read Frank Herbert’s “Dune” because of the pre-release hoopla surrounding the 1984 movie. The novel was/is a “science fiction classic,” I was a “reader” so I hunted up a copy and read it. Dune (1984) has serious issues – but is a fun “80’s movie.” e.g. Sting (who was a full blown “80’s…
