Well, the weekend is
almost over. Hope everyone had a restful weekend. I just got up
from a nap. Earlier I sat through my favorite NFL team, the New
England Patriots beating the Detroit Lions, after getting back from
church.
But all in all, it
was a good weekend. Like you may have noticed, if you started
following the project in Week 1, and saw my calendar breakdown of my
schedule, I am off on Friday, the 21st, and scheduled for prospecting
on Saturday, the 22nd. I was home all day on Saturday.
A thunderstorm came
through the Austin area and the hill country this weekend, and shut
most of us in. Safety was the word to go by.
With nature stepping
in, I am set back a day, and have to make it up on the upcoming week
or the next. I have to make it up somehow, if I am to make my
December 12th end date. No worries, let's keep going, one day at a time.
But on appointments
and things to do for the project, I confirmed my interview with Mr.
Lee Rector of Black Forest Werkshop today. The interview is tomorrow,
Monday, the 24th at 10am.
With that done, I
have to prepare emails to be sent out tomorrow to various owners I
didn't get a chance to meet in person, and those who, though I spoke
to personally, requested I email them to set something up.
Over the
weekend, I also started learning about Windows Live Movie Maker. I ended up with this movie maker after finding out Videolicious, an short video making app I once used with my Ipod is not available in the Google Play Store. I am using an android phone.
But having learned the basics of the app, I set up a YouTube channel for the project, where I will be
doing short video spotlights on the owners and companies I had the pleasure
of serving over the length of the project.
As this project continues, I find myself learning various things that I feel will come in handy sometime later, if not sooner.
So in that spirit, let's go on to Day 9, tomorrow.
P.S: A Quick Week 2 note:
Week 2 ushered in my first two interviews, and audio uploads to the blog. That's a win for me. I celebrate little wins like that, just as I thank God for little blessings. I look forward to more.
