Final Four.
Sunday, March 25th, 2007With so much March Madness buzz going around lately (especially at work), I had to create a few brackets. In my primary bracket, my Final Four picks were: Oregon, UCLA, Georgetown, and Ohio State. Three out of four, not too shabby especially since three of my picks were complete upsets. Unfortunately (and admittedly), I had too much faith in the Ducks and underestimated the Gators… I had Oregon going past UCLA and having a last-game-of-the-season loss to the Buckeyes.
I am slightly saddened by the fact that the Yellow Jackets didn't make it past UNLV. If they had done so, I was sure of their return to the Sweet Sixteen with an easy win against Wisconsin. Alas, that was not our intended fate this season. I hope Thaddeus and Javaris do not enter the draft; otherwise, we are going to have a long and slow season next year.
Fiddler on the… stage.

Seven Projects.
Wednesday, March 7th, 2007Hobbies and epiphanies lead me to project ideas. Over the past two years, I have counted that I've actually started working on seven different projects. So far, one of them has launched, one failed (or I quit on it long before failure due to lack of time) after a year, and the other five are currently in a holding pattern over my head. On average, I have found that I complete about 25% of the project before I lose interest. Sometimes, it is 85% before I don't have the will to finish and launch it.
Thankfully, this was/is not an issue for school work and work work. Things where the responsibility of the work is not voluntary (technically assigned to me) or have a hard due date – I put a lot of effort into finishing it. On the other hand, if the project was my idea; therefore, do not have anyone pushing me to do the work or I know there is no real date, it will be a long time before I finish.
I have found remnants of one of my projects that I have started to think about ten months ago. It's about 15% completed and found myself interested in it. Chances are, I will get bored of this in a few months. If so, I am going to try to continue on with other projects in a round-robin fashion. Theoretically, this means that at the end of this process (if there is light at the end of the tunnel of my ambition), I will end up with five different completed and ready-to-launch projects.
Anyway, if anyone else finds that you have similar issues, I am very open to suggestions. Thanks.
