good health

I just had my yearly physical and received another A+.  The weight has stayed off, the blood work was good and generally I am in a happy mental place.

There is a new book for me to read

The Happiness Advantage.  My current VP where I work has read it and highly recommends it.  He has a great feel for new ideas or thinking about old things in new ways.  I need to go get that book, read it and review it. 

I want to ride my Bicycle

I love to ride my bicycle.  Since I began riding more frequently last year, I have put over 2000 miles on my Cannondale M500.  It is a 22 year old bike that I still like to hop on and start cranking the pedals.  It hasn't ever been fitted for me just ridden enough to be really comfortable.

Should I get a new one? Maybe.  It wouldn't be the same...I really love that bike.

Are there any bad TED talks?

There is lots of bad information out on the internet. Have you heard any TED talks that were bad? I haven't.

It seems that you could sink a bunch of time watching/listening to the talks in the conference.

Which are your favorite?

I love learning new things

In my last post, I talked about loving my job...among other things. Because I have a new role, there are lots of new things for me to learn. This happened when I started teaching mathematics to college students. It also happened when I was first hired at my current company being a database administrator. Now it is happening again because I am an agile coach/leader. I learn much about psychology and human interaction in my investigations and think about how to apply this new knowledge to make the working environment better.

The latest interesting topic I have stumbled upon is the Fundamental Attribution Error. Don't know it? Neither did I and found it fascinating. It opens my eyes to see that behavior is too often driven by environment, not character traits. This makes me wonder what behaviors we are driving...inadvertently.

It's something else I need to learn. :)
