Introduction

The articles here are research related and some amount of research has gone into them all, but they are not research papers - not even close.

Obviously, as the research I do is done for individual clients, I can't really publish my findings like academic researchers do. So, my ambition with these pages is only to provide some "food for thought" and perhaps an interesting viewpoint or two.

Specifically, I don't claim re-invention of the wheel, the safety pin, or the rubber band.
