Take Note

When I was in middle school, I was given my first messanger-style backpack. I hated traditional backpacks, and I fell in love with the thing, except for one problem: paper handling.

What Is It You’d Say You Do?

I suspect that when most people ask me about my job, the sound that comes out of my mouth is reasonably similar to the sounds the teachers made in the Charlie Brown animated cartoons. Wah wah wah e-learning wah wah wah Qatar wah wah wah Xserves wah wah, wah wah!

The sad truth is that my job has always been a bit nebulous – especially when I was hired. Over the year, the lines have firmed a bit, so I now have a good grasp on the day-to-day and the overall plans of things that I do. So allow me the pleasure of explaining my job in clear, regular terms.

One Year At WCMC

Tomorrow, the twenty-first of June, marks my one year anniversary of my current job with the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. If you weren’t around when I made the grand announcement last year, the archives can fill you in to what remains one of the most monumental life shifts I’ve ever made.

In a poorly written attempt to celebrate this momentous occasion, I’m going to do a series of think-y, navel gazing, long-winded posts. The titles of the posts I’m planning are:

  • What Is It You’d Say You Do?
  • Take Note
  • Workblogging: My Brain In Blosxom
  • OS X Server – Apple’s Other Great OS
  • Make Your Own Workblog (Another 10 Minute Drill)

Work is not something I write about a lot here, so I realize the topics covered will be foreign for nearly all of my readers. Consider it a chance to see a whole different side of me. Hope you enjoy the posts – and hope I can keep the schedule.
