Too Busy To Blog and I Hate It
Why!? There is so much to write about and so much to say, but it all becomes so difficult to articulate. WWDC just happened and updates on my job are some of the few things I wanted to go over. But nooo. Instead I am spending 10 and considering 11 hours a day at Microsoft! [...]
Summer Weekend Itinerary
Exciting news today! I got an email from an old friend that works for Safeco Insurance Company as a business analyst for their IT department. I interned there last summer and had the opportunity to hang out every now and then. She forwarded me a link of their revised campus recruiting site. [...]
I Am ENFP
After signing up to stumbleupon, yet another interactive web service/social network, I revisited a personality test that I took a while back. The results showed I was ENFP. I was previously ENFJ. So I have become more perceiving than judging. On this particular website, I noticed it could show me what kind of careers would [...]
I Heart Social Design Talk
This is where my Ph.D studies will go when I hopefully begin graduate school in the future. This kind of reading and self reflection on design principles in general compels me to continue planning on future research opportunities. It just seems funny because in the past 5 or 6 years, I have gone [...]
Ted Stevens Owned By Jon Stewart
I heart YouTube. It’s like TiVo online with crappy semi-decent quality (I can’t complain). This is definitely old news amongst bloggers and those who follow news on technology. The argument is about Net Neutrality and Jon Stewart from the Daily Show is poking good old humor on our long time friend, Alaskan [...]
Pre Game Show At Microsoft
So it was my first official day at Microsoft. I only call it offocial because I am now on payroll (woot!). It was a pretty basic orientation for new employees (NEO). Nothing really exciting except listening to all the nifty benefits as an employee and getting my wicked cool CardKey. Even [...]
Farewell Retail
After five years of committment to service, I have ended the Cronicles of Banana Republic: A Kevin’s Tale. It really was bitter sweet as I was ending a part of my life that I have grown so acustom to for so long. Sharing a lot of good times with friends and being skillful [...]
Wayfinding My Education & Career
It’s that age old question of what you wanted to be when you grow up. A superhero maybe, firefighter most definitely, or just the idea of being rich and/or famous. Then you get to high school and college and you begin to feel the pressure. After you switched through just about every [...]
A Chance With The Cognitive Science Engineering Laboratory & Klein Associates
I was speaking with my professor, Axel Roesler about the day’s lecture on cognition and its influence on design. He studied conigition and interaction design at Ohio State University earning a Ph.D. His time there provided opportunities to work with leading members of design engineering studies such as Gary Klein and Edwin Hutchins. [...]
7 Tips To Be A Leader
Jim Citrin from Yahoo Finance wrote an interesting piece on starting a new job. I think that the point of view is more inline with a managerial/leadership type role, but then again, my idealism has taught me to believe that everyone is capable of leading. As a result, leading will offer many strong [...]
