This is the Website for J. Irwin Community Informatics Consulting.  Our motto is "Knowledge is for sharing!"  Callineb is a Welsh word for Wisdom.


ABOUT US

The Name
callineb is Welsh for Wisdom.  Pronounce it cah-HLIN-eb.  

The Rationale
All the English words and phrases for "wisdom" seemed to be taken.  So we looked to our Celtic roots for inspiration.  callineb jumped out from some Welsh literature.  

Thoughts on callineb
It's a very old word.  Just what is wisdom anyway?  Here are a few thoughts.  Information arises from data.  Information used and shared creates knowledge.  Knowledge, experience, and God provide us with wisdom.  callineb is a cyberspace place for sharing knowledge and wisdom.
