  • January Update-

    Break was good, caught up with some friends and the family.

    This new year brings with it a desire to *try* to be more considerate,  to work on marketing things for -possible- internship and ministry, to work harder like a rice farmer (see Outliers-Malcolm Gladwell), but still remain smart about farming out tasks to those who are faster/brighter (Strengths Finder 2.0).

    This may only make sense to a few of you, but I acquired Maximizer and Individualization as Strengths, while Adaptability and Activator are still there underneath,  but in 6th and 7th position.  I am still Context, Communication, and Harmony.

    Hopefully I figure out how to coach better this year as well, as it seems Maximizer and Individualization tie into that quite amicably.

    Here’s to some real results!

  • Google Phone Review

    Okay, I bought it to use up my 2 year service plan upgrade at t-mobile.

    Google phone is basically… mmmm not as slick as iPhone, it’s basically designed to let you gtalk all the time and do gmail.  That’s all I’ve found it useful for.  Also sort of annoying is that when you insert sim chip you do NOT get the contacts to populate automaticalyl whcih is annnoyyyyyyying!!!

    Enough said.

    Off to ebay.

  • What scares me is that Obama seems to be a master marketer and charismatic speaker.

    I think he really could pull many fast ones on people.

    Which scares me. 

    Bill Clinton never scared me.

    Hillary even technically doesn’t scare me.

    I feel Obama can convince anybody of anything.

    Obama sorta scares me.
