Nov. 12-23: Run, Riding, Working, and Listening Pleasures

OK, that's a sick title. I seem to be in a constant cycle of trying to catch up on work and, for that matter, life. But, I guess that is what comes with age. You become more cognizant of how much time is left, not enough, you pile on the tasks, and you just never finish. In the current times, I guess I should be thankful I am employed and I ain't bored. Life could be worse.

I traveled to Texas last week and talked about social computing which is a topic that is growing more and more dear to me. I got more animated and fired up than I expected. But, that was a good thing to have happen while in front of an audience where you are expected to lead a conversation. I think I did well and the session was well received. In the rest of my time, I am trying to deliver on the substance of the message by working with a team of folks to actually configure, populate, and manage a social site.

I have to rave about Pandora on the iPhone. Search for a few songs you like, it finds things like it. Vote up or down on some as they come and it learns what you like. Commercial free music tailored for your taste. Totally awesome.

I got fired up while running today, after 14 miles and started ranting (play ranting anyway) and the guy who organizes the runs scolded me. "Bob, some of us are focused on finishing..." Opps, I didn't mean to irritate people, but I can get full of adrenaline and get full of myself.

This week's (I know it's been a little more than a week) podcast listening log:
