Just a quick little entry on how great the minds of our youth are.
When you hear, “Almost there…” You likely imagine the last few steps, the light at the end of the tunnel, the last few days of a year long project.
My little boy, TJ, and I were at the playground the other day. He was playing on the “big boy” playset. There was a climbing portion that was meant for kids much bigger and older. He was brave enough to try it though. I started telling him, “You’re almost there,” as he neared the top. By the third or fourth time, he put one foot on the first step and muttered, “Almost there.”
It just sorta struck me as a nice philosophy. Rather than, “I still have so far to go…” next time just say “Almost there” and repeat it to yourself with every step.
My purpose in life is to make people happy through the application of technology.
My primary way of attaining my purpose is by doing Montage, iOS and Flex programming for my consulting company, OmegaOrtega.
The secondary way is by building games with my great friend from high school over at Area 161.
I'm found on app.net as LordBron.
You can read my personal blog over here. It's filled with technical posts, but also posts about bettering oneself
My faith is being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have a spiritual blog called Spiritual Techies. It's not LDS specific, but more generic spiritual thoughts.
Who's Lord Bron? Where does the name come from? He was the main character in a short story I wrote in middle school. I liked him so much, I took up his name as my nickname and username for internet sites. He was a time-traveller. 'Nuff said!
