What Happened to Last Week and Other Musings

I have no recollection of the past two weeks. I mean I have the occasional memory that kicks up some dust and fragments of experiences: events, people and places. I don’t think I have been this busy – or maybe this type of busy – in a long, long time. I feel like I am cramming on ton of newness into my life and on the whole it’s been super. Here’s a run down of the past couple of weeks:

• I got a JOB OFFER and started this week. I have experienced all the emotions inherent in finding a new job: the thrill of an offer, the excitement and nervousness of staring at the learning curve, curiosity to meet my new colleagues, etc. etc. It’s been a satisfyingly challenging week.
• I’ve been writing about start-ups in Boulder for boulder.me, which has been great fun. I’ve met some pretty amazing people taking some creative and business risks to go out on their own and most of them seem to be having a great time – a challenging time but one that seems to energize them. Some of the companies I’ve interviewed are: fidatto, duck duck deal and several others.
• I’ve been helping out with TEDxBoulder, which is this Saturday, August 7th. The speakers at this event are going to be great and I really think everyone is going to have a great time.
• I’ve realized that I really need to start preparing for my upcoming stats class in my MBA program. I know it’s coming, so I may as well get stuck in now so I don’t feel completely marooned in death valley. I picked up a Magna-inspired book about statistics. The drawings are superb as is the story line, and, oh yeah, the explanation about stats is very helpful.

So, that’s it. Well, that’s enough for me, at least.
