MAG Beta

This is going to be an interesting product launch.

Play Time

Devin was showing off the half-width HP blades. It was really fun to take a look inside, but it was also very satisfying to see some grumpy geeks take a break from "work" to play with a machine.

I wonder if this is part of the "using your hands" thing. If it is, I really like it.

Focus Part Two

Hrm. The focus on "growth" wasn't working well ... just ended up going in circles. Let's see if there's anything I can do about the "play" side of my chart. If I play enough, will work be more enjoyable? I don't mean screwing off, I mean approaching systems as if they have simple rules, not a lot of heavy implications, and that they present a fun diversion of some sort, even if they're really boring at first look.

That didn't quite come out right. That's what I'll ponder tho.

Focus

I think I'll try to focus on the portion of my little map about personal and professional growth. Since I seem to look at it several times a day, what I'm gonna do it just snap a picture and set it as my ifone wallpaper. Fun twist on "mindfulness," eh?

The way I drew it (which mindfulness may revise, you never know) is that the "growth" I feel I'm missing comes from two sides, the personal and the professional. On the professional side I feel that to "lead" more would satisfy me. On the personal side I feel that to "relax" more would satisfy me.

This should be interesting to ponder.
