Welcome to my blog! Starting a new blog requires so many decisions: What blogging platform should I use? Where should my data be hosted? What should I write about? What should I name my blog? While I am still waivering a bit on which blogging platform to use, I am currently content with my new tag line.
So, what’s in a name? What do I mean by “remodeling inside & outside of the brain?” Given that I am in the middle of a major house remodeling project, you might say that I have remodeling on the brain. We are DIY-ing a lot of work and I am learning more about footings, beams, camber, etc. than I would care to admit. Why not put some of this newfound knowledge to good use? Remodeling outside of the brain is about things that change in the world around us. For me, this will mostly focus on user experience (UX), technology and user interfaces (UI’s). Remodeling inside of the brain is not about brain surgery — it’s about changing how we think; making a paradigm shift in how we do things; looking at things from a different perspective. Put together, remodeling inside & outside of the brain is thus about how new UX, technology and UI’s change the way we think and work. When it isn’t too much of a stretch, I will also use examples from actual house remodeling projects as analogies.
I will probably also throw in a yipee, we have a new roof! or hallelujah for drywall! from time to time as well. 
Perhaps a few faq’s and humorous anecdotes (or links to them) will also show up on actual home improvement projects.
Hope you enjoy the journey and join in on the conversation from time to time.
