Recently, I finished reading “Going Postal” by Terry Pratchett. A Discworld novel that is about restarting the Postal Service in that universe. But it’s about much more than that. As per usual Terry Pratchett made me chuckle, laugh, snort, guffaw, and otherwise become delighted with a book that sounds like it should be boring. In […]

Recently I took a vacation for the first time in almost four years. A real vacation with actual travel. As I usually do, I brought my laptop along because, apparently, I’m a workaholic. I’m kind of glad I did because it meant I could go fix a website that crashed while I was 30,000 feet […]
So, it’s been eleven months since I started this life reboot endeavor. Last month I reported for the first time in a while. This month I made some progress, but was help up by the terrible, no good, very bad allergy season from accomplishing more. Every year around this time of the year, my allergies […]
So, it’s been four months since I started this life reboot endeavor. In some ways I feel I’m gaining traction, but in others, I still have a lot to do. I’m committed to working on this for a year, though, so I am trying not to be too discouraged by not getting everything right. Being […]
So, it’s been a month since I decided to reboot my life. Here’s where I’m at with the various areas I want to improve. Exercise more consistently. Exercising more consistently was mostly a bust.

Yikes! Days 3, 4 & 5 were no-gos for actually publishing content. I did work on some stuff, but didn’t finish anything. Today, however, I did two different bit of content, and worked on my other goals. Here’s the round-up. Content Goal Today I updated my Elance Profile. I didn’t realize that I never finished […]
It’s day 2 of working on my October goals and here’s how it went down. Content Goal Just finished posting a slideshare that was repurposed content from a blog post a few days ago. I elected to actually “redo” the power point rather than turn the blog post into a pdf and post it. Mostly […]
So, I’ve been reading Neville Medhora’s blog for a while now. Brilliant guy, by the way. You should check out his blog, if you get the chance. Anyway, one of the things he does that I admire is to write out his goals and post them to his blog every month. Most of his “goal” […]
So, I’m starting over again. Which is a position I’d rather not be in at the moment. I thought I had more time before I jumped into working for myself again. In other words, I was trying to avoid the actual “starting without a safety net” part. Unfortunately, we don’t always get to decide what […]
Wow! I just realized it’s been a whole year since I posted to the blog. A whole-freakin’-year. I thought surely I had posted something. I’ve sure got enough blog post drafts sitting in my Evernote right now. Somehow, though, they never got finished. Which is the story of most of my year 30. Most of […]
