There are three ways of settling differences: by domination, by compromise and by integration.

Domination, obviously, is a victory of one side over the other. This is not usually successful in the long run for the side that is defeated will simply wait for its chance to dominate. The second way, that of compromise, we understand well, for that is the way we settle most of our controversies - each side gives up a little to have peace.

Both of these ways are unsatisfactory. In dominating, only one [side] gets what it wants; in compromise neither side gets what it wants. . . . Is there any other way of dealing with difference?

There is a way beginning now to be recognized at least and sometimes followed, the way of integration. . . . the extraordinarily interesting thing about this is that the third way means progress. In domination, you stay where you are. In compromise likewise you deal with no new values. By integration something new has emerged, the third way, something beyond the either-or.

— Mary Parker Follett

Creating Careersanity.com

Since I have been working with computers, networks, and the Internet for many years now, it seemed reasonable that I would create my own website. This will chronicle some of my adventures along the way to accomplishing this.

"Creating my own site," of course, is shorthand for "putting a lot of pieces together, each of which in turn were created by others." It's not just a figure of speech when authors say things like "No one writes a book all by him- or herself." Appreciation for division of labor and specialization, along with some ideas about how to make it work as well as possible, are core principles at careersanity.com. I am grateful to countless talented individuals who have made it possible for me to "create" this website.

Here are some of the components I have utilized, so far, to put this site together:

Web host: Lexiconn Web Hosting
Site framework or CMS (Content Management System): Drupal
Theme or visual component: Newsflash
Clip art, graphics: Fotolia

This page will be a "work in progress" -- time permitting, I will update it with additional details regarding these and other aspects of the site's creation. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
