Knocking items off my todo list…but are they the right items?

Resume Archeology
The computer that held my resume and related professional documents died. It just needs a new stick of ram but that is pretty low on my list of priorities. I started poking around for a copy of my resume at the request of someone who may want to do some work together and the most recent thing I could find is from August of 2006. Could it really be over three years since I updated my CV? You are supposed to update that every six months! I despise resumes. There has to be a better way. But even LinkedIn isn’t necessarily representative unless you are really working it.
Update: Oh! Much better. One from May 19, 2009. Looks like I am updating it…or was.
Play Podcasts Chronologically on an iPod
The intuitive way to play a podcast on your iPod is to drill down to the list of episodes for a particular show. Unfortunately the most recent show is at the top and plays downward. You may want to play your podcasts from oldests to newest. This video shows you how.
State of Me
Stress is high right now. So high I can feel the blood coursing through my veins. I am not having dizzy spells but if I do not get this under control, I could see them happening in the not to distant future.
What has me stressed? Two factors. Primarily a coding project to which I have volunteered my services. My piece is now mission critical. The other is that always present thing which some people mistakenly think can not buy you happiness…money. I should have control over both of these but this morning they have control over me. It’s a simple trick of the mind. I’m thinking about these things so much that I’m not accomplishing anything.
There are dreamers that dream
And dreamers that do.[Source unknown..I always thought that was Ogden Nash but maybe it was me :)]
So I need to do more and think less. As I type this, it occurs to me that neither the project nor money is the problem. I am simply addicted to brain crack (language warning).

Update: Coffee must have kicked in. I’m on fire now!
