Blogging, Photo-A-Day

Photo-A-Day #1369

The title may refer to the photo but it doesn’t, it refers to me. I’ve been back in the office after a rather disjointed, lengthy and relaxing time at home. I have one time consuming project that I am working on right now, I am enjoying it but it takes time and concentration. It is a bit of graphic work that I really like to do. I will have to do a blog post about the technique I am using to create these images. The problem is that I have over 180 more to do and each takes about 10 minutes to get it right. That wouldn’t be so bad except that on top of that I have meetings to get up to speed in the new group and I have a large project that was assigned to me that is rather high profile. All of my time management and creative juices better be topped off to make this project a success.

I’m also not complaining, I’m feeling challenged and I’m excited, I just want to make sure I can balance everything and a good job. I do have some great online mentors though like Ted Murphy, Chris Brogan (By the way yesterday my online world and work world collided when I was referred to a site to see a Chris Brogan presentation on how to create an effective presentation, crazy) and Ed Gerety.

On the blogging front I have been trying to juggle family time with a decrease of blogging time but an increase in trying to maintain each blog. I am trying to update at least once a week on all the blogs. Three of them are updated daily. This one of course, Google is Not God because it gets all my utterli mobile posts automatically and 15 Minutes A Day because of my experiment in trying to learn Chinese. The two that are suffering are Read To Me, Dad and The Wired Kayaker. Those I have to make sure to post to each week, something to keep it interesting. Also I am verbose, I can’t just write something short and sweet. My own fault.

Home is Where the Heart is
Photo-A-Day #1368

Or probably, Home is inside the heart, in this case. I was looking for something interesting to photograph today and I saw this ornament on my parent’s tree. I took a number of shots of it before I stopped so we could get a family photo in front of the tree. For some reason Allison, Eva and I don’t get these family photos on the days of the events. So instead we were all downstairs so we took a few family photos. I posted them to my FaceBook account.

You might want to add me on FaceBook, it might come in handy later on, today, tomorrow who knows what being my friend could bring you.

Also if you are into photography and would like to try a year of taking photos, here is a great site where you can post your photos each day or you can take a photo each day and post them once a week. I am going to post on the site Shuttercal every day this entire year. So if you sign up, friend me please.

Here is the other photo I took of the ornament, which one do you like more?
