in More About Me,Off Topic

I have  a day job, and part of my job is to support the Media groups for TVO. I am what they term an Infrastructure Specialist, I liken it to being a plumber. TVOKIDS.com is the house that everyone sees and has all the curb appeal. But who would want to live in a house with bad plumbing, not many people. In the past few months I have learned a great deal about Drupal and Flash, the two core technologies that the site was built with.

in Blog,Social Media

Television Face Close-upI obviously have a blog and this blog is a new blog, but I have been blogging off and on for almost 9 years now.

I read this post today from Darren on ProBlogger and wanted to chime in with my own two cents on these heated issues found within the blogosphere .

Stop Rationalizing: Learning from Dr. King

April 30, 2010 Off Topic

The path my life is currently fallowing is filled with uncertainty. In the last six months (since I started my travels) I have made more mistakes than I have made success. I have learned more about myself and my place in this world than I have in the entirety of my lifetime before my departure from my previous path filled with all of its certainty and security.

Only people who change the world, are the people who want to.

April 29, 2010 Off Topic

The only people who change the world are the people who want to. And not everyone wants to. People have this thing I call the “Dissatisfaction Gene”. It’s this little part of the human psyche that makes a person utterly dissatisfied with their spot in life, no matter how successful they have been.

5 Things They Did Not Teach Me In School

April 27, 2010 Off Topic

Since witting the post “5 things I wish I had known 20 years ago” I have been been thinking about what I learned in school, and have concluded most of my skills that are vital to my success were never even taught there! To be frank, the most valuable skill I learned in University was how to talk to girls, a critical life skill for happiness, but not what I was really there for.

5 Things I Wish I Had Known Twenty Years Ago

April 26, 2010 Off Topic

I am now 40ty something years old, I have won more than I have lost, and I hope that I have given more than I have taken. I am not a believer in regrets, but if you don’t have any, I believe you really have not lived enough. I have tried to learn from every mistake and I think my life today is pretty awesome. Lately I have been spending a lot of time in a online neighborhood known as Brazen Careerist. This community is geared toward Gen-Y, but there are a few Gen-X and even some Boomers poking about this social-network. My tour of Brazen and my interaction recently with these twenty something’s has left me wondering about what things I would have loved to have known twenty years ago, when I was just starting out.

I am good at being single

April 25, 2010 Off Topic

I think there are times when the idea of being with someone (in a relationship) seems nice. Then I watch people who are in relationships. I see them tolerate all sorts of crap from each other. I see how sick of making compromises each of them are. I see them roll their eyes and make faces behind each others back.I am good at being single. I utilize my time alone and rarely get lonely. I have a awesome set of friends who never let things get dull, and I always have something going on.
