SUMMER!!!

Really, summer is here? Hmm. Didn't it snow just a few weeks ago....

In the spirit of randomness...I'm addicted to Woot, have to check it daily, not sure why. You?

So, yeah, um, summer....can't wait to finish building the kids their fort. I know what you're thinking, yeah, for the kids...don't kid yourself, I'll be up there with water balloons lauching them at the neighbors. :)

Ah technology....AND sailing

I love it when two wonder things come together...this isn't new, but I had to express my joy.

Our crew regularly uses Ferry Weather (http://i90.atmos.washington.edu/ferry/Ferryjs/mainframe1.htm) which provides great wind speed and direction updates...This never rendered well in mobile IE and even worse in Opera or the native BB Browser.

BUT...now the Beta Skyfire browser allows us to view this perfectly!!

BTW...I'm currently using my BlackBerry Curve.

Move to being a career coach

SO...I've realized that I can be of help to people to better their lives through helping them with career choices. Through some recent events I've had the opportunity to obtain some great career advice and have been in turn helping those around me....That's when it clicked.

I really enjoy helping people, coaching, helping others feel comfortable with themselves and their knowledge set, which I feel is the most important piece of a job search. Being comfortable with who you are and not morphing yourself for each job application or interview. Know who you are, what you like, then craft your job search around those qualities. This will enable you to find a more rewarding career...position, boss, company.

More random thoughts to come...Man I need to do this more often. :)

Ahhhh, the Internet

What would we do without thee. I had an epiphany today in trying to find a couple How-To's for my Palm 750 and Moto-Q9...instead of referencing the Manual I typed in my question and walaaa. I love the Internet!

And on top of that I most certainly wouldn't be able to buy random crap from the likes of Woot or get random sites of the day from Keith. :)

Remote WM Viewer

This is a wicked program for remotely viewing/controlling your WM phone from your desktop.
