This week I published my first eBook!
You may have noticed a lot of people posting recently about getting in on the next big thing: eBooks. Within 24 hours of reading one of these articles, I found myself uploading the files and designing the cover of my first eBook.
"Unsolicited Advice" is exactly that: just a simple, concise collection of advice on 'correcting' a variety of poor habits, as well as suggesting several good habits to start. Not a great literary work but I think it's a good start.
If you're evenly mildly interested, please consider reading the content preview. Maybe you're thinking of gifting it to someone whose poor habits are currently driving you crazy. Be bold: give it to your neighbour or coworker or friend. The book is ultimately a great resolution-maker for everyone.
In fact, my goal was to encourage everyone to strive to become better people -- including myself.
So of course now I'm already planning another book... The next one will be about beer and craftbrewing, I think. I'll keep you posted.

Automathical
Now starting Week 3 of the Automotive Math class at the college. They are so eager and bright learners, they make my job easy... Sort of.
Last week we got into a bit of a discussion about class times and suddenly an explosion of male testosterone filled the air! It was horrible. At least no one left.
I just need to remember my roles: Direct, Try not to preach, Avoid giving too many choices.
Lessons learned:
1) Teachers who give too many choices will eventually lose respect from the students.
2) Teachers who don't give enough choices will eventually lose interest from the students.

Display Tactics
Just set up our office with a prominent LCD PowerPoint messaging loop...
It's funny, paying attention to colour schemes and text choice and timing loops and animated arrows.
Nobody will every really read it except my boss. It's all on the internet.
But they will probably glance at it, so it's got to be right. That's cool.
"Welcome to our office -- You have arrived! Hurray!"

BBB: Big Birthday Bash
Why is it called your "Dirty Thirties" anyway? Isn't this nomenclature just another way of pretending that you're young again with a touch of reckless mischievousness and a splash of carefree disengagement?
Maybe it's because 30 in Roman numerals is XXX?
The rhyming scheme is just not that funny when paired with our keyboard layout.
Anyhow, it's scary, whatever is looming my way this Wednesday morning.
So, in the spirit of reducing stress and mayhem, let us recall the presence of dancing hedgehogs to help reduce our worries:

Yesterday held an amazingly peaceful and awe-inspiring occasion: I joined in on a sweat lodge ceremony down at Glen Rouge Campground.
No words to describe it, just memories now.
