A Lesson from Politics

Posted by on 25 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: thoughts on life., Town Council

I know, I haven’t been posting much lately. Instead, I’m made the switch from blogging to micro-blogging, i.e., twittering.
At twitter, I post multiple, brief updates every day as to how I’m doing or what’s going on at the moment. I encourage you to join twitter and start following me, and I’ll keep an eye out, and be sure to start following your tweets as well.

But on to the lesson from politics: No one wants to make the difficult decisions. It’s much easier to just pretend like everything’s okay and nothing’s wrong so that you don’t have to make a difficult decision.
The problem is, things are wrong, and unless you make a difficult decision today, you have a MUCH, MUCH more difficult decision years down the road when you’re literally forced into taking drastic, drastic measures.
The lesson is fight for the small incremental changes today, and hopefully you’ll get there…

I’m still learning this politics thing.

Mac Update

Posted by on 04 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: my life., Tech Stuff.

Late yesterday afternoon my new iMac arrived, and I’ve been slowly working on the transition from PC to Mac. I’m still waiting on some new updated software to arrive before I can completely switch over to the Mac. Ordered last week, my software is just shipping today, which is somewhat frustrating because I really expected it to arrive by today.

Here’s a before and after shot of my desk. What do you think?
