These first two posts demonstrate the relationship between math and design, thanks to GigaOM. (I tried and failed to relate them somehow to public relations or social media measurement, but you measurement geeks will love them just the same):

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many… Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders... But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
This is my first time at your blog and I've really enjoyed looking around. I will come back again in the future to check out some of the other articles.
