			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good morning and welcome to everyone who&#8217;s just arrived from <a href="http://normblog.typepad.com/normblog/2009/07/the-normblog-profile-302-peter-mcburney.html" target="_blank">Normblog</a>!  Do come right in, and make yourself at home.  There are still seats up here near the front, and also over there by the <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/poetry/" target="_blank">poets</a>.  (We apologize for the peanut shells some of the Beat poets left on the floor over there.)</p>
<p>Feel free to engage in an <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/argumentation/" target="_blank">argument</a> with us, especially regarding <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/decision-theory/" target="_blank">decision-theory</a> or <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/forecasting/" target="_blank">forecasting</a> or even <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/prophecy/" target="_blank">prophecy</a>.  Although professionally we are interested in <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/market-planning/" target="_blank">market planning</a> and <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/marketing-strategy/" target="_blank">marketing strategy</a>, we also have a special  interest in that hard-proving ground for data gathering, inference and complex reasoning, <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/intelligence/" target="_blank">intelligence</a>.  Indeed, some of our <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/heroes/" target="_blank">heroes</a> worked in that arena, as well in <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/politics/" target="_blank">politics</a> and <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/telecommunications/" target="_blank">telecommunications</a> and <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/project-management/" target="_blank">project management</a>.  Eventually, though, even heroes become <a href="http://www.vukutu.com/blog/category/history/" target="_blank">history</a>. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s that? Oh, our tagline?  It&#8217;s from the opening of <em>The Scalp Hunters: A Romance of Northern Mexico</em>, by Captain Mayne Reid, published in 1860:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Unroll the world&#8217;s map, and look upon the great northern continent of America. Away to the wild west, away toward the setting sun, away beyond many a far meridian, let your eyes wander. Rest them where golden rivers rise among peaks that carry the eternal snow. Rest them there.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>So, browse around, stay as long as you wish, and do visit with us again when you have a free mo&#8217;.</p>
