I passed my PMI-PBA exam. Woot.

Snow on the forecast still. Can winter please end already?

Taking another exam tomorrow. PMI-PBA. I don’t prepare as much as I should have but I am feeling pretty good. My job will be managing some BAs and so I wanted to do right by them in sharing a level of knowledge they have in this certification.

Success, I’ve been offered a contractor role teaching project management certifications. I’ll start doing weekend courses and lean into evenings if I feel like I can find a good balance since my day job will come first. Very exciting!

Why does Apple hate time stamps in Messages / MobileMessages? You can show time stamps via a gesture on your trackpad or using fingers. On MacOS, you can right click and select “Show Times” but as soon as you navigate away or begin scrolling, times disappear. Can I get permanent time …

Anyone notice a new behavior in Reeder App for MacOS where you copy a link to something in the RSS feed but what ends up in your clipboard is the article link you’re reading. The URL when I hover over the URL is a YouTube link but when I right click, the link is TheVerge.com.

3 hours of sleep two nights in a row, another project management certification test on Thursday and an insanely busy week at work. Is it friday yet?

DL Flight Jax to BOS was a heck of a route. We didn’t follow the flight plan at all and came in on 22L (a new runway for me after years of landing here). Check out that dotted plane planned versus actual route over Albany:

Hello Miami.

Three days until Miami

Lender stuff looks good. Solid home-buying-power ceiling. Good call with my builder on the rebuild option we’re keeping as the top priority Upcoming call with agent on a few homes we are interested in as backup options.

I really appreciated @photomatt@mastodon.social’s recent blog post - ma.tt/2025/03/a… I’ve struggled for years to market myself or define what I do and for the last 3 employers, I’ve done exactly what Matt does as the leader of his company. I don’t own a company but …

How my wife spent her weekend…we make quite a match.

Getting ducks in a row.

Very typical for last week of March to just dump more snow on us and I can’t assume that April will be any better

It’s good to be back home. This might be a very busy week..well it was and may be more busy.

Day 4 in Burlington Vermont. Last day of board meetings. 8-6PM daily. Great discussions.

Last night in Vermont before I go back home to…a town on the other side of the VT border in NH.

In Burlington Vermont for the next 3 nights. BMW Motorcycle Owners of America board meeting & strategic planning session. I usually have to ride or fly many miles to these things. Nice that this one is local.

Work all day, Burlington tonight for the BMW Board Meeting / strategic planning session until Sunday night. Next week is focused on getting heather’s motorcycle back to riding shape after 2.5 years in storage. Oil, Brake fluid, air filter, chain rust, coolant flush and a bath.

Who knows what might happen next but I have a 2nd round with the project management academy for an instructor role. This would be nights and weekends but excited to see what next steps are. Will update next week if they want to go further.

Great (quick) ride today. Snapshot from the GoPro video.
