Michael J Dukehart, II replied to Robby Slaughter's discussion 'Why Indiana?'
I cannot speak for Indiana as a whole but I can speak about Indianapolis. In 1989 my parents dragged me from the Chicago land area. At 13, Indianapolis was like hell surrounded by corn to me. I swore up and down that I would get into college far ...

Robby Slaughter replied to Chad Goode's discussion 'The real cost of system upgrades' in the group Business Owners
System upgrades almost always take longer, cost more and create more frustration than anticipated. This is due to the productivity paradox, as first popularized by thinkers in Thomas Landauer. The sense is that although computer systems are suppos...

We are the "Midwest coast." Indianapolis Urbanistas are as cool as in any other city. There are a ton of things to do in Indy - art museums, arts districts, art fairs, Broad Ripple shopping and dining, the Indy 500 & mini marathon, Heartland Film ...

Michael R. replied to Robby Slaughter's discussion 'Why Indiana?'
Meh. I moved to Indy in 1988 and it most certainly lacked a lot of cultural diversity back then. In 1988, I believe the Black population was around 10% and now it's over 25% I think. Plus, you have a very strong Latin influence here, among others....

The classroom may be true. However, are they together in the classroom interacting or is it because they all just happen to be taking the same class? Are they together outside of the classroom? I do enjoy the Heartland Film Festival and think it'...

I understand that your criteria for diversity is based on practical experience. If you go into the average church, you are likely to see people from the same race, religion and socioeconomic status. But if you go into a classroom at IUPUI, you wil...

Anika Hutchinson replied to Robby Slaughter's discussion 'Why Indiana?'
My criteria for diveristy is not based on statistics, but what I see and encounter. I like people from all different groups. Being out and conversing with someone who is Dominician or Egyptian or Indian, ect. Not just from one or two ethnicities. ...

In the style of Hollywood disaster flicks, October saw the coincidental release of two contests intended to highlight Indiana’s best blogs. One competition, sponsored by Linking Indiana, features sixty-seven candidates divided into ten categories. Despite its name, the Top 50 Indiana Blogs pro… Continue

Wearing Hats in Church

In the few minutes before the procession, I studied the worship space. Rows of pews flanked a long central aisle. Bold architectural lines culminated above a raised corner, forming a radiant starburst. Soon, a groom in a black suit and a bride in a white gown would appear and advance. Only the sea of heads in front of me seemed irregular. Each one was slightly obscured by a spiral of fabric: a kippah, or yarmulke.

A Jewish synagogue is unlike a Christian church in ways we fo… Continue

Freedom Killed the Video Stars

From my vantage point running a small business in Indiana, it’s impossible to avoid the tremendous array of “opportunities” for additional streams of income. Each is brazenly associated with an incredulous claim: healthy chocolate, superfood fruit juice, free jewelry or the existence of a subconscious blueprint in the millionaire mind. Given the number of programs and the persistence of their promoters, fairly evaluating each is a full-time job. That’s why I am taking on just one of these ventur… Continue

The Ugly and Unsung

Earlier this month, an unemployed 47-year old woman became an instant worldwide celebrity. Her single act was neither famously kind-hearted nor infamously violent. Instead, she waddled up to a microphone on a British television show, made a few sarcastic remarks and then belted out a showtune. Susan Boyle “dreamed a dream.”

Shortcuts to Productivity?

As Americans diligently strive for personal and occupational success, productivity improvement schemes continue to gain momentum and support. Yet, between old-fashioned “know-how” and fancy technological solutions, what is the best strategy in the race for ultimate efficiency?

According to a Wall Street Journal article, Tips for Getting Things Done, there are two separate approaches for improving individual productivity:… Continue

Saw your article in the IBJ.. Nice job

Robby...I read your post about iLG...I found it insightful, well researched, clever, caustic, and fantastically presented...You remind of a young William F. Buckley, if he had been of a more liberal bent..Your summation was brilliant, even if most fans/participants of iLg (MLM) do not get it/or admit it...

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
