Program Management Wednesday: Where Program Managers Work

For some back story, read my first post “Program Management Monday: What & Who.” Note: these posts are also relevant to other “PMs”: Software Project Managers and Web/Interactive Producers. ** Caveat – “Program Management” is sometimes used by...
Program Management Tuesday : Making an Impact

Program Management Monday: What & Who
I’ve been a Program Manager since before the dawn of the Internet. Well, not that long, but sometimes it feels like it. It’s not a discipline that gets a lot of fanfare, especially in this day and age when everyone is desperate to find good devs for their iOS or Ruby on Rails apps. There...
Ripley is One Year Old!
My little dude, Ripley Ossm Bonner, turned one today. ONE! For the past 365 days I have spent every single one of them with this little human bean. I’d like to say I know him better than anyone else, but every day is new and he is changing so much that sometimes I don’t feel...
Project: “We Are The Doorways” Fan Submission
I have a few projects on the go, and one of them is releasing today. I came on the tail end of this one, but I hope that over time it makes a great impact. Back when I was working at Topspin, I worked with the very talented RJ Krohn, better know to you as...
Some things are better left unsaid
After my Dad died, I learned things that I would rather not have. People coming out of the woodwork with their stories and what not. I know that I’m an adult and I’m his eldest child, but even so, it would be nice if people would bite their tongues. Why do people find it necessary...
Out of My Freaking Head
For the past couple of months, but especially this past month, I felt like I was not myself. I literally felt out of my skin. I was able to wake up and eat and look after my son, but I was very confused and disoriented most of the time. I am a very capable person...
Map of My 2011 Resolutions
I was thinking more about my 2011 Resolutions or INTENTIONS and I realized that they are all connected in some way. Someone on my Facebook said he thought I had too many things on my list and seemed to be skeptical about whether I can actually accomplish them. To be honest, I thought a lot...
Looking back at 2010
I figured I should take a little peek back at 2010 because it went really fast and I was curious if I actually accomplished any of my resolutions and what not. I graded myself on each resolution. Overall I am giving myself an A because you know what? I freaking had a kid and traveled...
2011 Resolutions
I usually like to write down my goals because I read somewhere that if you write them down or say them out loud you have a greater chance of actually achieving them. I also read that you need to write down realistic goals – I ‘m not sure what that means because I also read...
Dr. Seuss Promo Code Giveaway
My friends at Ocean House Media who publish the Dr. Seuss books in the iTunes Store have given me some promo codes to give away. It’s nice little last minute virtual stocking stuffer. I read Dr. Seuss to my 9 month old, Ripley on my iPad and iPhone and he loves it. Here’s what you...
Anne Frank’s Words of Comfort
From Anne Frank’s Diary of a Young Girl. The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see...
