Ordinary workdays are, well, ordinary.  Routine.  At times, a day can be muddled up into waking up, getting to work, going to bed, and starting all over again.  Expectation can become comforting, but once in a while the unexpected is what is truly needed.  netlogx finds its ways to be spontaneous. Every so often, the [...]

The Darknet

The best way to describe the darknet is to first change its name. For two reasons. First, there is only one internet. Almost every time someone refers to the darknet, it's perceived as its own separate thing. This is not true. There is only one internet and just two ways that information travels:  the clearnet, [...]

I recently attended a Women in Business presentation by Caroline Dowd-Higgins who spoke on her thought provoking book, “This is not the career I ordered.  Opera to Orator.” With an ever increasing number of different career choices on offer, about 1/3 of the total workforce will now change jobs every 12 months.

To me a sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) is what distinguishes your company.  That [...]

What differentiates a great project manager from a good project manager?  What makes someone better at project management than someone else?  Is project management something that anyone can do if they follow a methodology from an organization such as the Project Management Institute (PMI)?  These are questions management wrestles with every time they go to [...]

According to the study issued by the National League of Cities, “10 Imperative Issues Facing Cities in 2014,” fiscal instability tops the list.  While the period of 2008-2013 witnessed the worst recession since the Great Depression in the United States, municipal research data and analysis shows that this impact is not the primary reason for [...]
