Sunday
Well I don’t have the pictures up yet, but I am having a blast in Seattle. I have been able to see the pacific ocean at Twin Harbors Beach State Park Monday
I was able to go see Snoqualmie Falls which was quite a sight. I was very amazed that way back in the 1800’s they were able to create this major hydro-electric plant underground. I then met up with a college friend Eric Maino who works at Microsoft. He was able to give me a quick tour by car around the campus. It was very cool reminded me of University of Michigan. We ate downtown where I spent too much money and I hope Haworth doesn’t kill me for it.
Well the first consultant meeting went very well. Chouse gave us a tour of Metro Health so we got to see the wonderful world of Data Centers. Here are some pictures that Phil took.
My Professor told me to watch this and I kinda said “eh whatever” as I usually do with things like this. Then Heidi and I were channel flipping lastnight and we happen to run into the Diane Sawyer interview with the Pausch family. What an amazing world we live in that YouTube provided us with a gift of seeing this great man. I have posted notes on my board at work to try and follow some of the things that he mentioned.
Here is just a piece of that note:
You can’t get there alone!
Tell the truth
Hip is short term…earnest is long-term
Apologize when you screw up
Focus on others not yourself
The best gift an educator can give is to teach their student to be self reflective
-Randy Pausch
It’s important to have specific dreams
