a little drinking, a little dancing…

Friday, June 27th, 2008

summer has officially made it to these parts and so with it comes lots of things to do. The last few nights we’ve rendezvous-ed at places like this:

It’s been fun catching up with people, and was even better that I had the chance to be out on the water for a few hours to catch this…

My highlight [...]





what’s the rush?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

today I’m thinking about how I always seem to be rushing. rushing to get somewhere. rushing to get things done. always rushing.
And if I think about it it boils down to this: I am usually rushing so that I can get to the next point in order to rush some more.
What kind of sense does [...]





Hello Monday!

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Got back in from Phoenix safely and tried to attack some of the CKU Chicago photos. Technology is still not liking me but I will do what I can to get those shots up!
And as for the drawing, Congratulations to Linette- who was randomly drawn.
I will be contacting you via email soon.
Thanks to everyone else [...]





change of climate.

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

in a fit of spontanaeity (and the need for some warmth) I decided to head down to Phoenix for some sun.
I’ve been intense lately. Not so much fun. Decided that that attitude needed to be handled quickly.
So here I am- forced relaxation. Eating healthy, clearing my head. Not getting lost by attaching my thoughts to outcomes and [...]





The Practicality of things….

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Had an interesting conversation with the family recently- my brother and sister in law told the story of how they went to church and a visiting priest gave a wonderful talk about how we should be doing simple, practical things to be living more rich lives.
The idea made me happy because my problem with religion [...]





some sun and then some…

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

This past weekend I drove by a shop that had a sign out that read: Sun Wanted.
And this definitely has been the general consensus of us northwest-ers over the last few months. But this past couple of days we got exactly that- a little bit of that delicious sunshine we’ve been eagerly waiting for.
I [...]





a different kind of clicking…

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

I’ve been hearing a lot more of the clicking this week and its not from the sound of a camera… it’s been my mouse as I have put in hours and hours going over photos. Finally figured out the “Batch” process yesterday in Photoshop that helped me to be a lot more efficient…
and I’m [...]





the case study.

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Back from CKU, and it was a blast. Thanks to everyone from friends to the students to the staff. I am honored and feel really lucky to be a part of such a great event.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot of how different industries use case studies as their way to analyze assess and strategize. [...]





click click click.

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Been in Houston the last two days where I am shooting for CKU.
Been a blast so far meeting some great folks and eating at the Cheesecake factory
Cool to be hanging with the pros. Ali, Tim, Margie, and Jessica (Who just relaunched her new and improved website!) and all the other usual suspects around these parts.
Also [...]





hectic.

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Around here it seems like a switch just turned on and all this craziness started.
One thing that I’m noticing that’s different is that I am not as frantic about things. I’m realizing that there is an even kieled voice in my head that objectively recognizes that freaking out is not the way to get through [...]
