Diving deep into yourself [Flight Formula]
Last year I took a business incubation course to increase my knowledge, expand my network, and really get more direction for Insanitek and myself. The course I decided to take was called The Flight Formula. I’d give you the link to it, but the website appears to be down now. If you’d like to learn […]

“Get a real job” stems from fear
This past month I’ve taken a rather unplanned hiatus due to the flu. I came home from tutoring one evening, passed out on the couch, and didn’t wake up until three days later. When I did wake up, it was pure Hell. The first thing that went through my head was, “Why don’t I have […]

Working with the Control Freak Client
Everyone deals with That Client. The one you dread working with so much that when their name pops up on your calendar you involuntarily start thinking of ways to be suddenly so ill. Yet, when you think about finally firing them, you start thinking of the finances and realise just how much you need to keep the […]

My Hiring Method and System is a Learning Process

Mixed Signals to Our Society
I had planned on talking about something else this week, but just before I got down to business I saw a post on a friend’s Facebook wall that absolutely floored me. Meet Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old inventor. He made a rather sophisticated clock that required an understanding of electronics, programming, and a bit of fun. […]

When pacing restlessly is a good thing
Last week, quite literally, my personal world twisted about again. Travis came home and informed me that Tuttle Aluminium and Bronze, the place that provided our stable income, was acquired by another company a state away. In 4 months he would be without that job, and we would be without that stable income that pays the […]

The vocabulary of science
Last week’s post got me thinking. Language is probably the most important thing we have as human beings. It allows us to share ideas, feelings, thoughts, and news. We use it every day to communicate who we are, what we believe in, and express our emotions and desires. It also helps us design a communication […]
