    The Next Big Thing

    If you want the Next Big Thing, design it, build it, market it, then profit off of the sheep looking for The Next Big Thing. Don’t just sit there. Define the damn thing and make ideas reality.

  • Back To Work... by Holster on Flickr

    Library Day In The Life, Days 2 & 3

    Back to work after three excellent days in southern California. That first day back after trips are always the hardest — especially after arriving home at midnight (in bed closer to 1:30) and having an 8:30 am meeting. The morning was a bit rough trying to figure out what I missed on the day off. [...]

  • 2012 Walt Disney World Family Fiesta 5K & Half Marathon Recap

    Fog is cold. And damp. And 3 am EDT is really, really, really early in the morning, especially when coming from PDT time. Get up and run at midnight? Sounds like good practice for the ET Half in Rachael, NV over the summer! The Three Caballeros Family Fiesta 5K started bright and early on Jan. [...]

  • Library day in the life Round 8, day 1

    No library related post today. I took the day off since I ran the Disney Tinker Bell half marathon yesterday – my second half marathon this month and third in the last 60 days. I completed the Disney Coast to Coast Challenge! Since I was already in SoCal, I decided to visit with friends I [...]

  • Las Vegas Strip at Night by Marco Verch

    RNRLV Race Recap

    I finished it. That’s about all I can say since the Zappos.com Rock n’ Roll Las Vegas half marathon experience was almost a 180ยบ turn from 2010. Before anyone thinks I’m busting on Vegas, keep in mind I live here. I know how fast the weather can change (like last night), how fast it cools [...]

Old and New

I’m lucky. Growing up with a wide range of technology gives a perspective that the Millennials missed and the Boomers didn’t fully understand. I’ve seen the progression from a mostly analogue world to a very wired and digital world. This instilled an appreciation for the ease, the simplicity, the complexity, and speed at which information [...]

Thankful

Time changes events so quickly, so today I’m giving thanks for the people who positive influences in my life, enough food on the table, a roof over my head, a workplace that employs me, two strong legs and two strong arms to get things done, and all of my mental capacities so I can think. [...]

Alpha, Beta

I always love beta testing items, primarily because I find bugs. A lot. Repeatable. When I worked in live entertainment (read: theatre and concerts), ever show I did I would rent one ‘unknown’ piece of gear that I had never used. A new type of automated light most of the time, but sometimes a console. [...]

The Road Less Travelled by Ann Douglas

You Can Go Your Own Way

Not that I’m a wolf all of the time, but hey… I like being different. Even though I’ve struggled with topics on occasion for this blog challenge, I used the proposed topic exactly ONCE since starting 22 days ago. I think BlogHer is a great site, but for really getting into the type of blogging [...]

Bee Birth 1 by Max Westby

Workin’ hard

So, I was updating events and going through people submission on the VegasTech site, doing maintenance (uh, changes) on the /usr/lib classification, and almost completely forgot to create a blog post for NaBloPoMo! The thing is that I enjoy doing those things. Someone asked me today how contributing to those things doesn’t seem like work. [...]
