by on September 7th, 2011

Wow – William S. Dietrich II, a Pittsburgh native, is going to donate $265 MILLION just because…he loves it.  Now how would you show your love?

Makes me feel like going back for Carnival each year, and donating to CMARC just isn’t enough…hmmm…

Now those that are not familiar with Carnegie Mellon – here’s a quick scoop:

  • Located in Pittsburgh, PA
  • Known for their drama program, business school, emphasis on the sciences and technology and also psychology (not to say that the other programs are not superb)
  • Has Intel, Google, Apple and Microsoft living under one roof
  • Is one of the first university’s to have wireless
  • Created the first smiley :)

Why Lebron James is still a winner

by on June 13th, 2011

It is approximately 2 pm and I’m in the Miami International Airport. I’m listening to Obama from some screen that I can’t see and all I hear him talking about is how high tech fields can’t hire skilled workers. He said only 14% of undergraduate students are pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. 1/3 switches out, and about 2 out of 5 actually graduate in less than 5 years. Obama said we need to make sure our companies have a steady stream of skilled workers to hire and this is why I think Lebron is still a winner, despite the loss last night.

Lebron is a winner because even though he ‘left’ the hood, and Cleveland, to pursue his own personal interests, he didn’t forget about the hood.

Thanks to HP – Lebron James is bringing more than just talent…

by on June 13th, 2011

…to Miami and a bunch of other major cities that is.

On March 2nd, the Lebron James Family Foundation & HP announced they would contribute to the intelligence of our nation’s future by providing them with the technology to help them achieve success. 1,000 computers will be donated to 59 Boys & Girls Clubs across America – Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, Connecticut and of course, Akron, OH – his hometown & the location of my last project.

This isn’t the first time Lebron invests in education, last year he blessed after-school programs in Akron with 1,000 HP computers. Stories like this are what really make me smile – seeing someone literally not forget about the ‘little people’ even after he’s made it big.

Running with Reebok’s RunTone Sneakers – Day 1

by on June 8th, 2011

I have never stayed at work as late as I did yesterday, without doing work that is, but the fact that I ‘wanted’ to test these bad boys out made me find all the things in the world that I had to do…I eventually went ‘home’ – aka my hotel, and I changed into my workout clothes, dreading its tightness, as I reminded myself ‘I need to do this – you are going to Miami and have too many summer trips planned. Only Jell-o should jiggle…’

I put on the sneakers, took a picture…a before…and can say from the moment I put them on, they felt like a world of difference. I have Nike running sneakers but I bought them over 2 years ago, and while running sneakers are supposed to be upgraded every X number of months – I don’t really run, so I still have them. The RunTone’s are extremely light, offer tremendous arch support, even for those with flat feet, it felt nice. They came laced, which I think is common now, but I’m ol’ skool and barely buy sneakers, so I remember having to lace mine up. Whoever laced these knew they were going to be mine because they felt perfect – they were a perfect fit.

Careers in Science and Technology

by on June 7th, 2011

One day I will admit to the world that I am a techie, until then, I will continue denying it because I don’t want to be categorized, or placed in the box of ‘techie’ which has the negative connotation of being boring, not being able to speak to other people, programming all day, wearing jeans at work, smelling like yogurt and crayons from being in a carpeted room full of computers (that’s how the apple clusters at Carnegie Mellon smelled), or anything else that makes being ‘geeky’ not cool. So no, I’m not a techie damnit. I smell good, love my job, and am surrounded by tech which I love because I don’t need training to operate.

Learning in the world of too much

by on November 17th, 2010

You’ve heard of the Baby Boomers, Generation X and now I want to bring up another Generation – the Generation of the Multitasker. This generation if made up of those that have too much to do, or have so many choices and options – that they don’t even know where to start. I think I am apart of this newly found generation and while the increase in options and career choices is all in part due to some of our founding mothers – Gloria Steinin, Luisa Capetillo, etc…they are overwhelming!

P.Diddy or Puffy or Puff Daddy (I can’t keep up with the times) once said Mo’Money, Mo’ Problems – but I think Mo’Learning leads to Mo’ Frustrations – I mean why do I have to be a visual learner? Why do I speak in analogies and seem to create relationships through stories? Or why are there so many ways to learn?
