Back from Florida

I am back from vacation in Florida. We had a fabulous time. It was the first vacation that we have taken as a family since Bethany’s addition into it. Bethany and I also noted that it is the first “real” vacation that we have taken together as every other trip we have taken (and we have taken a lot) has involved work in some sort of way. Therefore, this was an extra special treat and I really feel rested for the first time in a while. Below is a link to some of the pictures taken. more will be going up soon.

Emory’s Org-fu

I know by now you may be tired of hearing about my ever tweaking org-fu. Therefore, I will point you to someone else’s. Emory has posted a detailed whitepaper of how he uses a mixture of low and hi tech to get things done. He is a great writer and it makes for an interesting and entertaining read. We have a bit in common. Like me he is a big fan of Backpack but he uses index cards (hipster pda) on the low tech end. One of the many favorite quotes:

“Working with index cards lets me be immediately ready to view all of my current tasks and projects, immediately discuss anything I’m working on with a manager or peer, and let me immediately brief anyone on the status of Project Y without keeping myself at a distance by using a laptop, pda, or otherwise removing myself from the equation.”

I dare say he almost has me wanting to give index cards a try again.
