What is and what might never be. My unfinished blog post drafts (and most will probably remain in stasis) includes titles and topics such as: “Return to HTML & CSS” “A Simple Prayer” “LinkedIn Bad habits” (I almost certainly was going to bitch about random people that want to connect and use the generic greeting).Continue reading “Unfinished Drafts”

Learning Journal Entry – Fundamentals of Programming
I have decide to use one of my learning journal entries as a blog post. For My course Fundamentals of Programming at University of the People, I am required to do a learning journal. Even though it is required, I think it is a good idea regardless. The learning journal provides an opportunity to writeContinue reading “Learning Journal Entry – Fundamentals of Programming”
A brief thought on Writing
….Sometimes “done” now is better than “perfect” but never completed.
University of the People – Week 1.5
So, I am a week and a half into it. For the most part, I have enjoyed the courses so far. A few reflections: I can see how people have difficulty managing time (especially working full-time and having other commitments).

Writing, DMAA, and OTJ
New year, new writing goals. I just submitted a very short article to the Detroit Metropolitan Apartment Association (DMAA) for publication in their Driving Force newsletter. Hopefully the DMAA will publish it. The article focuses on a few (6 to be exact) steps for improving on-the-job training (OTJ). I chose this topic because OTJ is very commonContinue reading “Writing, DMAA, and OTJ”
Email and Professional Communication
Favorite Article of the Week. Okay, maybe not the best article I have read, but poorly constructed emails definitely “grind my gears.” A good start is the article by Getting Things Done. Also see Amy Gallo’s “Stop Email Overload” found in HBR blogs. To the list, I would add: The out-of-context forward. This occurs whenContinue reading “Email and Professional Communication”
