Comeback

So I've been away from the blogging for a while. Just like every great band with a good run, there is a comeback.  Bon Jovi is "the ticket" right now, and in 1986. How about Tina Turner bringing 'it' with Beyonce.

Each of these band references is likely to the dismay of our new intern from Iowa State University College of Design.  He's young, fresh, and...let's say inspiring.  (New edit: By the time I'm actually getting around to posting this, he's already re-designed the site and started on the posts.  Need I say more?)

The picture to the left was from Greenbuild last November, right before Thanksgiving.  It reminded me of the nostalgic images of Thanksgiving; American Indians with feathers in their hats that represented feats and also status among the group.  There were those walking around, head held high, with several colors draped from their badges.  "The Chiefs" had PRESENTER, were AWARD RECEPIENT, were HONORARY, and were ATTENDEES.  The young "Warriors", well, they had their name... and a schedule of sessions to attend. 

My status was that fairly in the middle.  I am responsible for some, I report to some, and with that, a requirement for a whole scope of skill sets.  I have to learn to delegate, interpret, manage, teach, learn, and most of all; impart responsibility.

Presenting at Greenbuild was a humbling experience and it taught me that; everyone has something to offer and you are only as good as those who are in your "tribe".   With that: enjoy the posts from our newest member.
