I had a conference call earlier this morning for a volunteer group. During the call, one of the participants remarked that the college students he encounters are unable to write a professional letter. Now, I will say that most of those that I come into contact with are very articulate and well polished young men [...]

My morning routines often start out the exact same way. I head out the door of our apartment, down the stairs and across the parking lot to my car. It is usually by this point that I remember something that I should have grabbed (like something for lunch) and debate whether to go back up [...]

I set aside a little time each day to glance at the calendar in order to see what lies ahead in the coming weeks and months. It helps keep perspective of what can moved up or back depending on my ever-changing priorities. I have had the pleasure of a somewhat full social calendar the last [...]

I have taken to reading a few professional development books a month, although my budget will dictate that I start using the public library instead of picking them up at Barnes & Noble. “Read more” was one of those resolutions that I am just now getting around to doing. Yes, this is the final month [...]

I am starting to realize that jQuery and ThickBox are making me look like a lot better of a Web developer at work than I really am. Then again, who says you have to write every last line of code in order to get the job done?

I believe that each of us is in constant struggle with tendencies that run counter to what civilized society says we should have. For the sake simplification, I will lump all of them together and call it “human nature.” It is human nature to horde what is yours without sharing, but for the sake of [...]

Writing has been a fine exercise lately, helping to maintain a relative sense of calm within the constant changes of the surrounding world. I do not feel as if though I have really had a lot of time to collect my thoughts other than sitting down in front of my home computer. At the end [...]

While doing a bit of job research for a friend of ours from college, I came across my results for a personality test I took while on my job search in August of last year. I cannot say that I disagree with the results even today. To take the test, visit the Monster Web site.

I did something today that I am not particularly proud of. No, it was not that I bowled a 58 in the second game at the company outing (the first game was a 104, still the lowest score on my foursome). No, it was not that I impulsively came home from that outing and immediately [...]

Today over lunch I was asked how I planned to fill my time this summer. With Metro Nashville schools letting out in a week, most folks at work are due for a schedule shuffle that will likely involve changes in child care, summer camps, summer school, sports clubs, etc. I am never really sure if [...]
