    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

Simplicity rules.

This past month I moved across the country, back to the Seattle, Washington area.  I love it here!  And, I’m glad to be back.
This trip back was done with everything I own able to fit into my truck with the top carrier.  It was not really that tight of a fit.  That’s mostly because I don’t [...]

Here’s a quick note to mention a bit of a change happening here on Tweblog.com.  I’m going to start posting more geek stuff and more work related things.  With my new job (Stay tuned for more on [...]

mini transfortmations

Apple is evil.  –>  Apple rocks!  I love my MacBook Air.  I love my iPhone.  Good customer service goes a LONG way!  Great customer service breads loyalty.
Anthony Bourdain is stupid.  –>  Anthony Bourdain rules!  No Reservations kicks butt.  Kitchen Confidential sparked all sorts of creativity.  Writing and reading things that stretch my horizons is healthy [...]

AMEN!!!

The application form would be easily completed within a short period of time.
The job requirements would ask for what is truly required to do the job.
No one would be invited to interview for a job that is already filled.
Applicants would receive an acknowledgement notice once their application is received.
They would [...]

two calls back

I got two calls back about good project manager jobs in the MIlwaukee area today.  I’m expecting more as “the word gets out” and as I apply for more jobs.  Feel free to check out my updated resume.
And, to the recruiters who are calling, I’m not spilling any info or details about any job searches [...]

mini funk

So, I’m in Minnesota.  I surprised my mom for Mother’s Day.  I had my knee surgery.  Physical Therapy is going great.  I’ve spent good time with most friends and family that are around.  But, I’m in this mini funk.  Why?
I think it’s because I’ve been so geared up to GO, GO, GO for so long. [...]

best slippery slope ever

best slippery slope ever
“Why shouldn’t I work for the N.S.A.? That’s a tough one, but I’ll take a shot. Say I’m working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I’m real happy with myself, ’cause [...]

What is knowledge management?

This [UPDATE: link to Wikipedia's KM page] is a really good answer to this question. I am the new Knowledge Manger at ECG Management Consultants. Sometimes I can explain what that is in a really simple and clear way. Other times it’s much more difficult and very wordy. Today, I was [...]

resume updated

For anyone following my recent job hunt, I’ve updated my resume and also removed it from several places online.  (Really, I was going to do this very soon, but decided to do it right now because too many new recruiters were still calling.  To the many helpful recruiters out there, you’re the best.  But, I’m off the [...]

It’s been a week since my last post.  The break has been very productive and a good rest.  I look forward to getting back to a little more frequency here.  For right now, I just wanted to comment quickly on my new job.  I’m still saying yes. 
There is plenty of work to be [...]
