Update of stuff

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Thanks for all the suggestions on a new name. Turns out that rather than just go with one of those suggestions, I’m leaning toward combining two of them and thusly, giving away two PC World subscriptions, assuming that Toby, who left one of those suggestions, will take the time to send me an email so I can reach him!

More info on the plans when I find time to come up with a new logo and do some actual work!

Speaking of time, as most of you know, I’ve been much busier doing consulting work for my old job than I had ever anticipated and it has really, really limited the amount of time I have to work on stuff I want to do. One of the things I haven’t had time to do is write for the 2guys2cities site. I just sent off an email to the site owners about that fact, and letting them now that at least for now, I was going to have to stop. I know they are looking for writer’s willing to make a certain commitment to having content and I am just not able to live up to that commitment right now. The door is still open to doing some writing on there in the future, which I was glad to hear, but I need to focus my energy on other things right now.

I’m really looking forward to only having one job again. March can’t come fast enough.

    Have you ever been in a brainstorming meeting, in person or on Zoom, and walked away thinking it was great? The ideas were flowing, and people were expanding on each other’s ideas, professionally disagreeing constructively, and bringing energy to the discussion. It was great, all of our meetings should look like that.

    Except that’s not really what happened. At least it’s not the whole picture. Yes, perhaps there was a good exchange of ideas, and perhaps some of the folks on the call brought their energy and passion to the discussion. The key word there is “some”. The important thing to remember is that those people who did bring that energy also probably made it really difficult for other voices to be heard. The science would tell you that the straight white men on the team probably spoke up, while others did not speak up. (In the experiment that is detailed in the article, it was men and women singers who were compared.) In my experience, it’s a little more complicated than that. Yes, a small group of white guys can absolutely drown out all of the other voices, but so can a small group of extroverts.

    I worked hard getting some of the photo albums together for the move over to this site. (Well except the wedding photos, those are going to stay at Yahoo for the time being.) You can see what I’ve gotten so far here. I’ve got copies of about 3 more albums worth of pictures loaded to…

    I obviously was having a brain fade there for awhile. If I wanted 3 columns but didn’t want to go through the hassle of putting all of the tweaks back in, why not just convert my current template into a 3 column design? Obviously, I figured that out and will be moving things around for…

    Got my film from the wedding back last night. Three rolls in total, on top of the 66 digital pics I took. This was my first experiment using black and white film in the Minolta and the results were mixed. Got a few really nice shots of family hanging out after the wedding back at…
