New Course Alert

I have just enrolled in a another emerging Technogies course called Future Directions and Trends. I sure am looking forward to learn a few new things. The last course I took on emerging technologies was a real eye opener.

What will the Cowboys do

Cowboys don't pick until the second round. they have 11 picks in this draft but there is no way that there is 11 spots on the team. I think they should package up some players and move around maybe start prepping for next year or possible trade up sooner in the second.

I figure they will go O line or D back. Big surprise. I don't like the lions picking Matt Stafford. He is good bout not great. They good have taken a Olineman or Curry and a QB next year with a later pick.
That said nobody can throw it farther to Calvin Johnson.

My first video blog

Twitter Presentation 3.0

I have uploaded my final Twitter Presentation onto Slideshare with some musical accompaniment. I am also going to attempt to publish using a Camtasia Video I created as well but this is proving more of a challenge.

It is basically the same presentation with a few added slides and music. But here it is none the less.

Over due Podcast

I have been messing aroung setting up a Podcast for my emerging technologies course and never really got to publishing it. I think I did it five or six times with some success. At first I wanted to make it perfect and I soon realized after a few edits that nothing would be perfect as I am learning a new technology. I soon realized that the assignment of creating a Podcast had nothing to do with the actual Podcast itself but in fact the journey of creating it.

I had fun working with this tool and it became easier as I went on. Anyway here it is. Short & Sweet.

I am happy that it is over

I started back at my old job a few weeks ago as a trainer for our utility company. I really enjoy the work even though it is quite demanding. I had to deliver a refresher training session to a few experienced customer service reps today and needless to say I was quite nervous. It wasn't that I didn't know the material, it was the fact that they all did. It can be quite challenging training a group of experts in a particular field especially when the course is only a refresher session.

I felt like I was being graded on every word I said... maybe I was. I haven't seen the evaluations yet but I am curious to see what was written. I have two more sessions tomorrow but my confidence is up and I hope I do well.

Wish me luck.
