Geek out....

I just need to geek out for one second, because no one who's AT work today will get this.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT HAS CHANGED.

The new iphone web apps will impact information gathering, social networking, and daily life as we know it. And, hopefully, for the better!

Ok, deep breath. I feel better now. Thanks for letting me say that.

Sigh...

Historical Repetition

I'm swimming in history this month

Self-discovery via career

In the many dating books I read back in the day (not to mention sermons heard), and even when talking with friends, I hear stories of how dating helps you "find" yourself. That it can be an important way of learning who you are. Getting to know others, and preparing yourself to meet the "right" person, are actually part of the path of self discovery, self awareness, and self creation.

Funny, now-a-days it seems that maybe career development is doing the same thing. Who do I want to be? Who do I want to do it with? What do I want my life to be like? How do I want to run my business? Not much different really than the questions you answer when filling out an EHarmony questionnaire.

Funny, just never thought as career development as job-dating...

Virginia History

I am sometimes amazed at the history that surrounds us all the time. Since moving to this area, I find that local history enthralls me. Most impressive is a big hurricane that hit this area on my birthday in 1933. Some amazing pictures of the event were taken that continue to pop up in local restaurants, galleries, etc. I'll write something more coherent when I figure out what it is that's pushing my buttons right now...

Game Night

Had great fun at this "game night" that some friends of mine throw from time to time.
We played this great old 50's board game...

Of course, then good ol' misogyny showed up. (the card, not the guy)


Yeah... the 50's were classic times, huh?

Baby Bird

Was a little late to work helping the lady at EVMS rescue this baby who's nest had fallen.

Artist

I like being a muse...
