mel,

(They say the eskimos have 31 names for snow.....)

I have been thinking that perhaps pure art
is 100% technique and 0% process to build
a Product.

Software development (my other love) can approach
100% technique also - but to build a product
that is actually a Process.

Boggles my mind.


Best,

George
