Notifiblog: Small, Medium, and Large

Today I'm attending a (free!) webinar put on by Rally TeamStart​ about Agile Estimation.

Comparison sizing, a part of project estimating, inspired today's topic!  But you know I don't usually stick to the predictable.

Small:  There is a journal of nanoscience called "Small." (from Wikipedia) "Small publishes research in science and technology on the micro- and nanoscales in the form of Communications, Reviews, Concepts, Highlights, Essays, and Full Papers."

Medium:  Medium isn't just a size!  (from Wikipedia) "In astronomy, the interstellar medium (or ISM) is the matter that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy."

Large:  "Large" is a word that combines nicely with the word "dieffeomorphism," which, of course, is why I selected this particular article from the Large (disambiguation) list.  (from Wikipedia) "In mathematics and theoretical physics, a large diffeomorphism is a diffeomorphism that cannot be continuously connected to the identity diffeomorphism (because it is topologically non-trivial)."

I hope you had as much fun considering Small, Medium, and Large outside soft drink cups and t-shirts as I did!
