As I’m writing this post I can hear a church bell ringing from outside my hotel room. The rings, one after the other, are giving me a sense of urgency – a feeling that I have to jot down my thoughts as soon as I can before they fade slip away into the nothingness that usually accompanies a good night’s sleep. So while I can still type with some sort of eloquence, I’d like to share some of my main take-aways from the first two days at eMetrics Toronto. Read more…

The CAPM means more than the words it stands for
I recently passed the CAPM exam and became a Certified Associate in Project Management. Basically, the CAPM is a fancy title that means I understand the project management process very well but don’t yet have the prerequisite 4500 hours of PM experience to acquire the PMP accreditation. Many have congratulated me recently (thanks!) and have asked whether I was looking to one day do project management as a profession. Curiously to many, I said, “No, not particularly”. It’s not that I dislike project management. In fact, I’m a firm believer and proponent of it. It’s just that project management is only one dimension of where I want to end up and not the destination as a whole.

Nope, I don't use that either.
Let me begin by saying that I kind of just lied to you. I promise not to make a habit of it, honest. The truth of the matter is that I
am on FriendFeed – I’m just not that active on it. In fact, I simply just feed my Twitter updates into it, and put it on auto-pilot.
Yes, I know, it’s an amazing tool, but so are so many other new applications/social-networks/websites/paradigm shifts out there. It’s just that I simply don’t care – and you know what? That’s OK. It’s also OK if you don’t care either. I won’t speak poorly of you, swear.
