Ellipse

Monday, April 30th, 2007

This is suspect because I took the test many times, changing subtle variations, until I got something I liked. I never answered in a demonstrably false fashion… but still.
The first time I took it I ended up with a jackal type thing, which was cool, but I didn’t save it and can’t seem to recreate [...]

Spring Sprung

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

I haven’t updated in awhile because my deep breath did not last long. I returned to work to find I’d been nominated to help teach a 2-day “Getting to Know GIS” course to the same people I’ve been writing the strategic plan for. So, I will be returning to Alabama shortly to jump another hurdle.
When [...]

The Color of Calm

Friday, April 6th, 2007

I won’t lie and say my first business trip was a walk in the park. There were definitely stressful moments – but those are just the pricetag placed on the satisfying moments.
