Sunday Star Revisited
Sometime ago I started thinking of a post series called Sunday Star. I wrote the synopsis of what I wanted to do with it, created a Twitter hashtag for it (#sundaystar) and then wrote the first post and dropped it right there. My bad. No excuses other than laziness on this one. I knew better too. It was (and still is) a wonderful idea.
So as part of what I am trying to do in 2010, I will be revisiting the Sunday Star idea, developing it more, posting more short posts about people from Twitter that are Sunday Stars. Maybe you can do the same, and just maybe together we can bring some feel good to those who have made an impact on us via Twitter.
Saturday SNAFU
With that in mind another idea for a series of posts came to mind this morning. Saturday SNAFU. What is this? A look at a snafu moment of the week – whether something in my life or something I read, watch or otherwise find – you know the thing that was messed up that week. Only instead of a gripe post, I am going to attempt to take the humorous view of it. Why humorous? Read here on my view for laughing more in 2010.
SNAFU? If you go to Dictionary.com and read the entries for SNAFU you find it has origins in the 40′s, from a military background and if you compare to Information Technology, business and life in general – there are quite few snafus that we encounter. I will pick the best of the week and post it out on Saturday, on this particular blog it will focus on the IT/business/marketing angle, on my other blog (billynab.com) it will focus on the general life snafus.
A Few Other Items Maybe?
On another note, I think my work schedule is getting back to a sense of normal. For the past few months I have been putting in quite a bit of extra time in working out the Live Event Center for the Professional Bull Riders. While it was hard work, took many hours away from my family, church and other normal life activities, if you go and check it out you will find a wealth of information during the PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series events. It currently is 100% different than it was in January, is much faster on loading current ride score information, and has a completely new user interface.
In catching up with the photography (read about the Olympus E-420 I picked up in January) I have taken about 1500 photos in 2 months. I don’t care that only about 20 of the are worth a darn, because it has been much fun learning about photography and figuring out the camera.
