    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!

Vancouver 2010 Olympics

With the official start of the winter games happening today, I’m having a good time this morning checking out various sites related to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.  It’s particularly fun being close, now that I am back living in Seattle, WA, just a couple/few hours south of Vancouver, BC.  I may try to go up [...]

Simplicity rules.

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 [...]

Another Super Obvious Strong Password Reminder

Twitter recently banned the use of some passwords that are way to easy and obvious for “the bad guys” to exploit.  The commentary on weak passwords is so strong and obvious, yet so many people ignore the warnings and just don’t care.  When users maintain weak passwords, and their computers or phones or bank accounts [...]

information overload

It’s always time to simplify.
We need to make information simple.
We need to listen and organize and purge.
We need to be patient with those around us who adapt at different rates.
We need to revisit our approach.
I just watched this “Web 2.0″ video again.  It is information overload.  Yet, it also is about managing external perception.  It [...]

keeping things updated

I’ve noted before how I feel about doing updates.  The tasks involved often feel like a waste, unless you are the person who has to go fix things or the clients and customers that have to deal with the problems and down times when systems are not current.  This past weekend I helped someone get [...]
