Yup.

To Heck with Following your Dream

Ok - once you get past the very entertaining story about sheep ..... um ...... surgeries, Mike Rowe (from Dirty Jobs) has something interesting to say about jobs and our future.  The people he does shows about are not doing their dream jobs - but they are happy.   Watch the video.  Laugh, and then learn.

Jason McElwain Autistic Basketball Player

This story is going around my school right now. (I think that somebody saw it at a presentation and passed it on to the rest of us). It certainly is not new - 1.5 million hits on YouTube - but I had not seen it before either. I just figured that I should pass it on to anyone else who has not seen it.

In summary it is about an autistic boy who has been helping out with the basketball team for several years. Then the coach puts him in for the last 4 minutes at the end of the season. To quote Jason he was "hotter than a pistol." It reminds me of the movies Rudy and Radio - only real life.

Watch it. Enjoy it. Pass it on (like some painfully annoying chain letter).

Too Tired

I like this video. It made me rethink some of my reasons for doing (or not doing) things.

Remind anyone of staff meetings?
