Bingo! This is what inspired me to develop the Convexity theory ( http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/gervais-macleod-21-why-does-work-suck/ http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/gervais-macle... ).

- clicks 14y agoCan you just write a book already michaaelochurch? Or rather, just compile your blog writings into one [1].

[1]: patio11 had good things about to say about the publisher he worked with, perhaps they could also work with you too.
