Labor of Love 2013

One of the best parts of my job is being able to work with on community service project with our member companies. Each year we do a project related to housing and this year we worked with Housing Greensboro to help repair two homes for families that are facing some fairly serious difficulties due to illness. One of our members, THS National, sent along a videographer and the result is the video below. 

The Glaze

This quote from Mark Bowden's book Worm: The First Digital World War - a book I haven't read but  sounds very interesting so I'm going to get myself a copy - comes via Rex Hammock's blog:

Mark Bowden describes a phenomenon called “The Glaze” that “every geek has experienced” when talking about technology with a lay person: The unmistakable look of profound confusion and uninterest that descends whenever a conversation turns to the inner workings of a computer.

If you change the end of the sentence from "a computer" to "my job" that sentence perfectly describes the look on my family members' and friends' faces whenever I talk about work. There's a reason I've earned the title "King of BS (Boring S***).
