The People of Paetec
Working at Paetec was a phenomenal experience. It was enjoyable enough to not even consider it "work.". Best of all however were the people. Paetec's most well known quality as a major telecommunications company is its personability, its unique strategy of superb customer service and support. Who'd of thunk that the atmosphere throughout the entire employee base was exactly the same.

Golf, what fore?
Golf is really hard. I golfed for the first time a week ago today, and once more this morning. There is no consistancy between holes, there is no time to practice and learn. What other game has such a handicap?

The Slow DrIvers are the Bad Drivers

There was always some problem to work on, people to turn learn from, and the gratification of helping other people. At the end of the year I had earned 6 EE Certifications in 5 categories and was 11th place for most points earned by a Rookie (members in their first year answering questions). I was in the top 400 of countless experts. Here is what it taught me: ...
Running Away
I had hundreds of ideas for my first articles for this website. Almost all of them have spurred from this nights exhausting run, so I thought I would tribute this first post to running, before I elaborate my the other stories. Many of the other stories I also thought might be a tad too personal to put on a blog even if I am sure that few, if any, will ever read it. So here goes... ...
Renderize Launch
The release of Renderize has taken me three months. I would argue that I have only really gotten 4 weekends of work on the website, but that is besides the point. The blog is functional, improvable, but certainly usable.
