http://www.nerderypublic.com The first rule of Nerd Club is...ah hell, go ahead and talk about it. Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:12:46 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Last May I was weighing a few things related to my job: was I in a job advancing in accordance with my goals?  Should I leave to start my own business?  Was I willing to take the associated risks, given how our family financials are structured? As it turns out, as ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/408 So, contrary to plans, last weekend we didn't do a 20 miler. I had some radically sore muscles from a stupid weightlifting mistake (too much weight on a squat bar does not make for happy legs), and my running partner had a nasty cold which was giving her vertigo. ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/404 Latest fundraising number has me at $605 raised. Not bad, but not there yet. On the running front, Saturday we go for 20! Longest run yet! Last Friday, we did 12, handily, on a hilly-ish course. This Saturday, we'll go for flatter. And I'll ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/402 Within the last month, I've been promoted to a team leadership / manager's position.  Within our company, that gives me responsibility for people, budget, and client management, as well as gives me additional opportunities and responsibilities for supporting the overall health and development of my company.  This is exactly what ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/399 So, remember last week, when I meant to do 16 but only ended up doing 12? I wasn't going to repeat that this week. Due to various scheduling complications on my part, my running partner and I decided to not try to run together Saturday. Saturday morning ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/396 Today was planned as 16, but ended up as 12. I overslept: my running buddy was in the driveway at 6am, but I didn't even wake up until about 15 minutes later. So, out on the trail on my own. For whatever reason, my iPod wasn't working ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/394 The Pampered Chef fundraiser was a resounding success! I received a stack of boxes yesterday full of PC items, and then received a check for $182.63 from Pampered Chef in the mail today. That's my single largest contribution to date, and brings the total raised to $329.63. ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/391 It's been a few weeks since an update - busy month both on the BOMF front and on other fronts. I've been promoted (woohoo!), gone away to camp with the high schoolers from our church, been to visit family, and then of course the regular interludes of life don't ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/388 Wednesday was the first "official" fundraiser for my fund-racing for BOMF. Terrapin Adventures offered to contribute 10% of any revenue it received from attendees I sent their way on the 1st. Lots of folks agreed it was a great idea, looked like fun, etc, but in the end, only ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/386 You can probably tell that posting this frequently isn't natural for me, based on my previous history.  But I'm hoping keeping you in the loop gives you a reason to connect with BOMF's mission, even if it's just through my mission to benefit BOMF.  I did buy some shoes on ... http://www.nerderypublic.com/archives/383
