Working in the Dark

Much work was accomplished in another very long, but successful, day. Trying to get a lot of work accomplished in a very short amount of time...a familiar theme. Another intensely bad storm rolled through here and the power went down again for a couple hours this afternoon. Since our meeting time is so limited, our team worked in the dark. :-) About the time the laptop batteries were ready to give it up and about the time the room felt like it was about 119 and a half degrees from not having AC, the power came back on. Watched the news tonight and there is a super typhoon in the area that passed north of us and is heading north toward Japan. Rough weather here!

Day started out with a good meeting with District 10 Commission on Higher Education (CHED). We were able to meet with the IT and business deans from 5 local colleges to gather their input on the data analytics curriculum. Our group...

We also met with Stephanie, a dynamic, young business owner and head of the ICT Council (local liaison group between academe and business). Stephanie received so many offers when she graduated that she decided to start her own IT consulting company directly out of college. Totally impressive...I wish my daughters could meet her! Now 16 years later, she has a successful corporation employing many local IT resources. I think about the challenges she must have faced to get to this point. What an inspiration...a living example of all things being possible.

Make it a great day!
