Ever get an odd “J” in your email?

// April 24th, 2009 // 0 Comments // Drama, Production, Productivity, Uncategorized

I have been getting them a lot lately.

Turns out the person did a smiley with a colon and parenthesis : ) but without the space (had to put a space in so WordPress would not change it into a smiley graphic for me).

And sometimes, an email program turns that into an emoticon using the wingdings font. If your email program (like my Google Mail) does not have wingdings, it gets translated as the capital letter J.

Funny, huh?

By the way, this is my lame attempt to get into blogging again after failing miserably at the 30 day blog challenge from a few weeks ago.  It’s just not that important to me.  I’ll blog when I can and when I have something useful or clever to say.  There.  That’s honest, right.

So, for the two people that might stumble upon this site.  Have a good day!  J

Information Overload

// November 20th, 2007 // 0 Comments // Information, Productivity

I don’t know about you, but there are times where I just get overloaded with too much info. I love learning new things and following blogs and getting things done. In the process, I just stuff my brain with too much information way too quickly.

So, here is a post I came across at another blog (Think Simple. Be Decisive.) that has some good tips at reducing the overload and preventing it from getting you in the future. I so need to put a bunch of this into practice. In fact, my wife just scolded me the other day for answering my cell phone too much and checking emails all the time.

There is a time and place for all that, I just need to set some of those guidelines for myself. You do, too. Go check it out.
