Another year ends, and a new one begins
I can’t believe another year has passed in my life. Admittedly, over the last year I haven’t accomplished a lot of my tasks that I set out to do between the two milestones marked by growing older. What I did accomplish was amazing. I graduated with a master’s degree, which was a struggle in its […]

Landmarks and goals [Monthly update]
Business, as in life, there are milestones. I’ve had two milestones here on my personal blog, a couple with Insanitek, and a few in my personal life. Over the last month you can tell I’ve been fiddling with this or that on the blog. The first thing I started to fiddle with was a way […]

Life exeriences are viable lessons

Monthly check in
Part of the reason this blog was created was to give Insanitekians and the public more insight to myself. I got away from that in some fashion because I wanted to give people more useful information. However, when our PR department discovered what I was up to, they pointed it out and begged me to […]

How to pivot in academia
“G”, a regular client of mine, expressed last month his concern that moving to an alt-path would through away several years of his life. This is no small matter, mind you, when you spend several thousand on your academic career from undergrad years on. However, when you change to an alt-path, you are not throwing away […]

College is dead. We killed it.
I love knowledge and education. I love the sense of pride that others get when they see the connections between one topic and another — and just how fuzzy those lines of connection are. Every day I can be found teaching or tutoring somewhere. My students range from elementary school to college and beyond, while […]

Natasha Voromprovia is a systems expert better […]
