Interview Redux

I had my first true, honest-to-god, technical interview yet in this entire “find a new job you like” process. I’d already been through an HR screen and a design/analysis phone tech with this company and managed to do well enough on those to get invited in for an in-person grilling. I’d been to one of …

The Fun of Job Searching

I’m slowly (and by slowly I mean, not really at all) starting to think about looking for a job. I’ve been off for almost a month now, I’ve accomplished quite a few things at home, got some starts on other things that can be continued on nights and weekends, and I generally feel like I’m …

Signs of the Apocalypse

The interweb is a big, big, big, really large, big place, a place where I never cease to be amazed at sites that amaze me. I’ve been surfing the web for a long time and I see things that make me queasy, things that make me mad, things that make me go Hmmm but rarely …

Where’d My Writing Vibe Go?

Beats me but the last couple of days have been off-kilter. For one thing, my sleep habits are wacking out, not sure why but I’ve been up at 3 the last three or four days including a 3 hour session this morning that was actually quite productive. On top of that, I haven’t seen much …

Some People Can Coach, Some Can’t

So San Fran is down by 7 with under two minutes to go, they have a 4th and 10 on the 28 or so. If they kick a field goal, they still have to score a touchdown to win. As a coach, you have a chance to send a message to your players that you …

Days 11 and 12

The last two days have been very productive. Today was almost completely focused on the design of the web site, something I struggled with a couple of weeks ago.
