Another chapter in my work life is starting, giving me some new direction and new challenges. And I’m lovin’ it. Will I get organized? Will I have check lists and 43 Folders style organizational skills miraculously materialize? Probably not. Will I be a troubleshooter or a troublepreventer? Only time will tell. I do know I’ll need my headphones and I need to update my iPod tonight to include the new Vedder album.
I’m probably going to need a new Fall wardrobe. Will I have to wear ties? Thankfully I’ll be able to use this instructional video to remember how to tie them.
Speaking of music, I just tried the amazonmp3 service, and I will admit I do like the no-DRM. Time will tell if it wins me over iTunes.
A good buddy of mine just let me borrow Don DeLillo’s Falling Man which looks promising. I’ve already read one post 9-11 novel (The Good Life) which was a very good read, let’s see if DeLillo does as well, if not better.
I stumbled across this interesting site: thepudding which states it will let you make calls to any phone in North America. An interesting idea, but most of my calls are local (or perhaps as far away as New York) so its not that big of a deal for me. Most of the companies I either work at or do consulting for are moving to voice over IP, I wonder if free calling will be the future?
The updates to the latest version of Wordpress went without a hitch on all the blogs I’ve been maintaining for friends and family. I’m currently using Windows Live Writer to post this, and I have to say it works great. If you want to look at other tools, there’s a nice summary of some of the top ones here.
And… lunch is over back to work.
