Re: Re: Introductions (Lowell)

Hi Lowell,
I am a non-XPer.  I'm not sure what you mean by "Weinberg school" of software people thought. Can you say more about what it is?

  I was born to a middle-class family in the suburbs of Chicago....  ;-

  I really learn from Dale's posts and articles, so I try not to miss 
  them in the sea.  I did my first talk on the 
  Satir change model prior to reading Dale's paper.  I then had that 
  mildly deflating feeling of thinking I was innovating, only to 
  realize that many had been there before.

  The link from Dale's website and the apparent desire to 
  procrastinate away from doing the financials has me typing at this 
  moment.

  Well, to not face the truth would not be the right start.  My first 
  emotion was disappointment that the members here seem to mostly be 
  from the XP list (me included!).  I was hoping for a more diverse 
  community.

  I am thrilled that the group exists and anxious to see where we take 
  it.

  Well, more non-XPers would have to be first.

  I would like to share experiences about people and organization's 
  change experiences.

  I think it would be cool to not be dominated by the "Weinberg 
  School" of software people thought.  GW is incredible, but there is 
  so much more out there to learn from.  I hope to be an influence in 
  that way.

  Well, in a McCarthy Core Protocol check-in sense, I would have to 
  use sad at the moment (and for quite a while actually).  I mention 
  that because I believe I am resistng something, but have not used 
  that resistance as a resource to change my situation.

  I am not comfortable with newsgroup dialog.  I attempt it, but 
  rarely feel that my points are well communicated.  I am much more 
  comfortable in a dailog setting with a team or class.  If this 
  community figured our how to go beyond-the-list, I believe it would 
  flourish in great ways.

  Thanks Dale and everyone!

  Lowell
