We lost in the semi-finals of our company Ping-Pong tournament.
I’ll tell you why it was a heart-breaker: we’re a solid team. But we lost because of a bad 3rd game breakdown. Somehow, when it came down to the wire – it must have been the pressure, the nerves, or the fear of losing [...]
I was browsing my Facebook feed prior to sleeping tonight and found a link to this:
Personal Branding 101 – You Inc
View more documents from Powered by Search Inc..
I’ll remove the mystery: It’s a powerpoint presentation about personal branding. “From who am I, to Here’s who I AM.” As much as this slide is basic without the [...]
About 3 months to be exact, from when I first started working. And hey, I’m still alive! Doing… okay… still trying to do better. I don’t really have any crazy updates. I mean, a *lot* has happened since I’ve last written. And I mean an incredible amount. I could talk about a year’s worth but now’s [...]
Half of the team is on vacation in August. Scratch that – I mean half the town. Thinking about Boston, my morning commute is uncharacteristic of rush hour traffic. People wear slacks to shorts to work; the sun is slow, and most of all, it’s empty.
Once I get into work, the office is quiet. People [...]
So I was typing in my search query in the IE8 browser window and it found me the exact match I was looking for. To the right, text that said Shift+Enter appeared.
In other words, if that’s the match I am indeed looking for, a shift+enter will go directly to it.
Another little keyboard [...]
At work, I have a desktop and a laptop computer. I prefer to use the desktop computer at work so I don’t have to crouch over and ruin my back all day. However, I also like doing work at home so I need the laptop.
So it’s incredibly useful for me to be able [...]
Saw this on our internal front page as news headlines: Win7 could be the best OS yet. I haven’t fully read it through yet but there’s a line that says going from Windows XP to Win7 will be like “ditching your old Toyota Camry for a sexy, new Nissan GT-R.”
Well done sir. You got me [...]
If you ever want to be in business in some point in your career, then this book is a must read. I already knew it would be good, having it recommended to me by my GPM, but I didn’t know how good it would be. From the moment I picked it up, I couldn’t put [...]
Starts now.
It’s so crazy to wake up in the morning and think about where I am today. Freshly graduated out of school and already employed. Especially employed in the States, where the recession is affecting many many people. Though I am certain I lucked out, that’s not what this post is about.
This post is about [...]
My second week working full time has finished so I should probably reflect. Some of the things I noticed:
Working as a full-time employee is a completely different experience from working as a co-op.
First of all, the full-timers don’t ignore you anymore. People actually stop to try to get to know you and learn more about [...]
Right now I rent a room in a house from a distant family friend. She’s 78 and an incredibly caring lady. She takes out my garbage, reminds me to not get home too late, and even cooks dinner for me. She’s like my grandma. And it’s just me and her in the house – she [...]
Testing this from Quickpress. This seems pretty handy dandy for super quick posts. Like a mini-twitter for WP.
I wonder though, if we type enough is it ok to off set it?
Like if we keep going.
A bit further now…
A bit further…
Done.
Testing the posting from Windows Live Writer for compatibility. Let’s see how this turns out. Does not look good so far on the WLW page.

It is a new chapter in my life – one that is sure to bring failures with successes. I graduated from school, closing off a bit part of my life. The social events, the all-nighter lifestyle, the spontaneous schedule. Done, finito.
New exciting quests await and therefore, a re-design and re-branding is necessary to get into [...]
