Introspection

Awaiting Twenty-Ten

December 31, 2009

I may not write much here anymore, especially with my rampant Twitter addiction for the past 18 months or so, but I always like to take some time to think about New Years, resolutions and the like. I’m feeling good about what 2010 has to offer so far. I’d like to make the following resolutions [...]

Shooting Arrows in Business

June 9, 2009

My wife and I were cooking dinner for our family last night and doing our usual exchange of, “So, how was your day?” I began telling my wife about running into a friend of mine who has his hands in many little startup companies and is really embodying the entrepreneur’s spirit. She shook her head, [...]

Weather and Productivity

March 27, 2009

I love a good overcast day, the gloomier the better. Why? There’s something about a gray sky that gets me up and moving, ready for anything, and ready for work. What about you? Take the poll below and let me know in the comments what kind of weather helps you be productive. I can make [...]

March Madness

March 2, 2009

The joys of freelancing are starting to bloom, as March is going to be a very busy month for me. I have a trip to Roswell planned to begin laying the groundwork for a major redesign for one of my clients. In addition, we also are aiming to launch a redesigned website for the Clovis [...]

January Summary

January 31, 2009

If the rest of 2009 has me as busy as the first month, future posts are endangered here on Scottdot.
Freelancing has officially begun, with three clients currently on board for web design services. It should be lots of fun, but also pretty involved, as the biggest project is a more ambitious website for the Clovis [...]

Ushering in 2009

January 2, 2009

Whether we like it or not, another year has flew past us, leaving us in the dust of all that happened, all we wish that happened, and all that we may have regrets about. I for one don’t regret anything too seriously from 2008, but only hope 2009 is more rewarding.
With that being said, I’m [...]

Non-Resolution: 2008 in Retrospect

December 29, 2008

Rather than make resolutions for 2009, I decided to take a look back at things I could have done better or more of in 2008. Here’s what I have come up with:

Keeping my backyard picked up
Not giving my dogs enough attention (remember this?)
I started two books (at least) that I did not finish
Cooking a meal [...]

Soapbox: Customer Service (When it Stinks)

November 21, 2008

Perhaps it’s the former customer service agent in me coming out, but I got pretty fired up this morning and had to send a polite-yet-nasty email:
In the past year, we have done a lot of business [COMPANY NAME REMOVED]. I wanted to write this morning and share with you my frustrations of your customer support agents. [...]

We did it!

November 5, 2008

Today, I helped America elect a great man to lead our country through some of its toughest times. I helped America elect its first African American president. Thank you, to the rest of America for helping restore my faith in our sometimes troubled country, but I feel like we still have many tough times ahead [...]

To Dr. Pepper and Steno Notebooks

September 23, 2008

My favorite teacher of all time was a kind, sweet lady named Nancy McBride. She had a love for science and Dr. Pepper, but also taught me the importance of journaling and creative writing. My classmates and I would fill dozens of Steno notepads with our thoughts, dreams, and documentation of our travels. For whatever [...]
