Intermission
Part 5 of the Pinocchio Function: The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcode is in the process of being authored, but it's taking a little longer than expected, and I thought I would share with you the reason for that, and just give a little update on my adventures.
I recently changed positions and became a key executive officer for a new company targeting females in games: GirlGamer.com
The people I'm working with have become my fast best friends, and the mix of interpersonal relationship building combined with the dizzyingly fast pace of the work that needs to be accomplished has found me de-prioritizing almost all of my prior commitments with the two notable exceptions of my success coaching, and my work in evolutionary computational domains. We're rapidly nearing a point where we will have a lot more to talk about, which is terribly exciting, as well as being an absolute schedule hog, but I'm not adverse to giving up a few months worth of weekends in order to make something real come about.
I also recently found myself in Washington DC for a week with a team of what I can only describe as domain experts and highly qualified specialists establishing longer term prospects (maybe even years away) that are both extremely promising, and of a sensitive nature, so details I will not reveal here. Sufficient to say I am deliriously happy about my career opportunities, but it has required me to do some serious scrambling to make it all work, and I'm finally finding myself with some minutes which are not otherwise occupied by initiatives which I have carefully staggered to minimize the time to realization... and I'm using it to blog about it all before it becomes old news.
Watching Saving Private Ryan again, just on a whim because it was on, reminded me of the intensity of my own situation and how often the skills that I learned largely while gaming play an intricate role in my life as I manage short term strategies and leverage resources, micro and macro, to produce foundations which give rise to larger structures and bring the long term plan closer to fruition.
It also reminded me that I need to play video games and de-stress more, because I miss it. So right now rather than finish Part 5, I'm going to go rock my face off with Rock Band on my 360. ~\o I'm a creep! I'm a wierd-o. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here... o/~ Radiohead has nothing on me baby!
