Introduction

Reflexions DataThis is the company blog of Reflexions Data, LLC, a web development firm based in Westchester County, New York. We use open source tools to solve business problems with an emphasis on flexible, forward-looking technologies including PHP, Python, and Ruby on Rails, among others.

Members of our team will be posting periodically about some of the topics near and dear to our hearts (or at least our collective inner monologue). These will tend to coalesce around the intersection of web development, open source, social media, and the 21st century business landscape that’s only starting to come into focus.

Even if you think Vernor Vinge is a nutcase (or, as some of us do, maybe just ahead of his time) you can’t argue with the assertion that the developed world is on the verge of a kind of self-induced evolutionary great leap forward. The wave isn’t just about to crest. It’s accelerating. And we, those privileged first-world souls who are the very ones fueling its development, have a front row seat.
