Last night it was really clear and really nice, and almost a full moon, so we broke out the new telescope for the the first time and used it to look at the moon. I took some pictures just by holding the camera to the telescope eyepiece which came out surprisingly well. Next [...]

The blog is the new resume…

Read an article on Traces Of Inspiration, that talked about how the blog is serving as a potential hiring tool. This is kind of an extension of the Online Persona that i have been talking about, but instead of doing it in multiple places like I am, the author seems to think that the [...]

I read an interesting piece about goal setting yesterday on Get Rich Slowly about completing 101 goals in 1001 days. I didn’t really like the 2 1/2 year time frame with some of the changes I have going on in the somewhat near future. But I did like the idea of setting the [...]
