Career vs. Job

on March 3rd, 2009 by Scott

Okay so the thing back in January fell through, and ’nuff said there. Right after that fell though, I found a course on what I currently do with training and instructional design that I was approved to take.
It has pretty much changed my mindset. With technology, it is always a challenge to keep on the [...]

Kindle and Kindle 2

on February 5th, 2009 by Scott

Okay, so I’m excited about Monday, and the supposed announcement of the Kindle 2.  I’ve owned a Kindle since December 2007.  I have wanted something like this since, really, mid 90’s.  I remember there was this insanely overpriced crappy little screen unit that used mini-CDs for the books.  The only things you could get on [...]

There is no spoon

on January 14th, 2009 by Scott

Or if you prefer Kung Fu Panda, there is no secret ingredient.
In writing, it took me an insane number of years and books and classes to find that, really, there is no secret ingredient to crack the code of writing a novel.
Okay, already I’ll take that back. The secret is that the first novel you [...]

Oops

Well drat. I missed a weekday. Oh well, kind of exhausting couple of days. Doc appts and all. I’ll write up a separate post for writing in a minute here.

Unhealthy competition?

on January 12th, 2009 by Scott

My wife and I have a mostly friendly unspoken competition going. We don’t like to ask each other for help. Ever. The mindset of this is mostly that if we can do it all, then we’re unburdening the other from the duty. Unfortunately this competitiion has usually manifested itself in the form of heavy lifting.
When [...]

Gutting a bathroom

on January 9th, 2009 by Scott

Funny how I wanted to start this blog to chronicle my writing career, yet I haven’t posted anything about writing yet.  Oh well.  At least I’m posting something every day, so far.
I’m so happy we’re getting back to our remodeling job.  Starting this afternoon, I plan to tear down the old plaster walls of the [...]

Interesting Phenomenon

on January 9th, 2009 by Scott

It seems like whenever I re-start this blog, there’s something that comes along in my professional life that changes dramatically.  This time is no exception.  I’m keeping it quiet for now, because it is way too early to talk about publicly.  Still, it is interesting that this domain seems to have “mystic powers” toward my [...]

Big Business = Little Brains?

on January 8th, 2009 by Scott

Okay, so my job is a trainer and instructional designer.  It still isn’t my first choice in careers, but it is something I actually kind of enjoy and am good at.  But unless I move to an Adult Learning type school/company, I am at the mercy of big business.  Small companies won’t usually have need [...]

Hello world!

on January 7th, 2009 by Scott

I’m keeping the title from the default first post, because, well, it just works!
I can’t really remember how many times I’ve restarted this site.  I know I originally did a newsletter, hoping for fame and fortune through the web, and if I’d started it maybe three years earlier, I might have.  As it was, that [...]
