procrastination. . .

[dinda]

story of my life, eh? I'm avoiding working on a really boring outline of 48 pages of some of the most boring content I've ever dealt with. Sometimes companies really can get too carried away with "processes" and this project is a prime example. They've made the whole creation process one big assembly line and now the client is complaining b/c things are "boring." Well, duh, it's all so cookie cutter and auto-templates that there is no run to do anything other than boring, dry stuff.

It's kind of amusing b/c on the one hand you need processes for something this large but on the other, it makes the end product really boring. Talk about irony, you want things consistent, but not too consistent. The one good thing about designing eLearning is that I don't actually have to take this eLearning. I'd go nutz if I had to take some 1100 hours of these little modules to try to learn to do my job!

Okay, better get started I have a deadline and lunch plans and really need a shower. At least the weather is kinda meh, hot, sticky, threatening to rain at any minute, so that will keep me inside today instead of gardening or fishing or riding my bike or. . .just sitting on the deck dreaming of what I'm going to do when I do finally get my other property sold and can then do the real upgrades I want here. okay, really, back to work now. . .

Oh and guess who's all-star nephew just got announced as next year's Varsity Baseball Team Captain? and got selected as MVP for this past season? uh huh, the one and only Stefan Hernandez! I need to update his website soon too.

Congratulations to Stefan!! Team Captain and season MVP. Way to go.

I look forward to more photos and videos. You do a great job of capturing his skills. My favorite is the series of photos of him sliding into home. Super sweet.

Did you video that then take out frames or did you use a photo burst to get those shots?

My camera does a 9 shot per second burst so it works pretty well. Taking frames from video doesn't yield a very high quality. and my wish list camera is now a Nikon D60 or above that does something ridiculous like 120 shot bursts.

is he being scouted yet?

not yet but we're working on that this summer big time. At this stage it's up to us to get him in front of college coaches. The good thing is that the league he plays in is 5A, the largest schools in Texas, so there are tons of scouts at almost all his district games and we often over hear them talking about Stef so we know he's on their radar.
