So, I told you I was going to tell you about some changes to my blog. I changed the name. Ta da! You may have already noticed.

I decided to change the name of my blog to “Assuming Beta” during my first quarter of the MBA program, in part because the concept of “beta” kept coming up in my classes. Beta is a financial term and a statistical term. It also denotes a state of incompleteness in terms of software development – think Gmail and how it was in “beta” for number of years.

As I struggled to get my footing over the last three months, I came to the realization that my life is a constant state of beta. Ever changing, evolving… and incomplete. This is a good thing, and something that knocked me over when I was able to describe it with a word as simple as “beta”.

That’s it.

Okay, that’s not all of it. I also changed the layout/design significantly. This is still in “beta” to some extent, so bear with me.
