Today The Worthwhile Company tried something a little out of the box for us. We had Jeff Holland of Drum4Work come in and let us bang out our workday frustrations a little. At first the idea seemed wacky — what does drumming have to do with web development? design? secure hosting? customer service? teamwork?
I’m sure you’ve probably heard the old “right-brained /left-brained” comparison. Usually when I hear this comparison it is in reference to someone’s ability (or inability) to make something happen – “He can’t draw well, he’s too left-brained to be creative”. Or “She is terrible in Science, she is too creative minded”. I tend to disagree with it all. I have a fine art background, focused on drawing & painting, and now I do mostly programming and project management. Not very related, or are they?

This past week we had the honor of having two exchange students from Spain stay with the family. At first I was a little hesitant to accept the students, my house can sometimes be hectic and overwhelming with 3 kids, active parents, jobs, school starting back soon, the list goes on… But ultimately we were excited about accepting them into our home.

On the other hand, lower priced sites often have unrelated menu items where things seem unorganized and overwhelming or old, outdated information and no tools to help you finish your internet quest.

I was searching through my faithful laptop bag and I found a gift certificate a friend had given me for Christmas this past year. I totally forgot about it, but between old receipts and expired coupons there was my Horizon Records gift certificate. If you haven’t been to Horizon, they have an eclectic variety of tunes, old vinyl records, books, movies, cds and much more. Very cool place, and as a bonus if you go there mid-day you can enjoy the wafting of deliciousness from The Bohemian Cafe lunch menu (I recommend the Cuban sandwich, it’s magically delicious).
