reflection
It being a day or several (depending on when this gets published) after my birthday, it seems like a good time to reflect, and to set some goals for the upcoming short-term (~year).
The list is not all about technical stuff. It is really stemmed from some things God has laid in front of me lately.
Becoming a message
Our pastor shared a great quote with our church last weekend that really stood out to me.
...my life is my message - Gandhi
What would my message be if someone asked me today?
What would my message be if someone asked you today?
What would your message be if someone asked you today?
I'm guessing there will be more about this coming soon.
Continuous Improvement
This area is far more about you than it is about me. Sure, I have much to learn, have a long list of areas of which I'd like to personally continue to improve.I feel a great need to help my colleagues, help my company, and help my community. Something tells me I'm in a unique position to make an impact on each.So here is a list of areas I'd like to improve (in to particular order):
- Technical Breadth
- Technical Depth
- Leadership Skills
- Management Skills
- Physical Health
- Faith
- Creativity
- Being a better husband
- Brewing better coffee
- ...
Back to Basics
I'm a firm believer in fundamentals. I'd like to re-explore what the core fundamentals of the industry are, and find out where I need to brush up/start over/start (for the first time).
Okay... enough for now. Stay tuned.
IndyTechFest PocketMod
It's October in Indy (well, most other places too), so that means time for IndyTechFest.
For those of you that read this, or find this, I've put together a PocketMod for the session schedule. IMO, the UI is easier to use than the mini poster. I'm sharing so you can have one too!
Here it is: IndyTechFest PocketMod
Here is how I did it:
- Used Word to create this: PocketMod source
- Used the Office 2007 PDF Publisher to publish it to a PDF
- Used the PDFtoPocketmod converter app to convert the 8-page PDF to a 1-page PDF with all the pages squished and arranged just right
- Printed, and trimmed the margins with a paper cutter
- Folded and snipped, via the video at Pocketmod.
Super simple, super awesome.
