I pondered over the holiday break on what my first post of 2012 would be. I tossed around the notion of doing the ever so popular, ‘What I learned in 2011′ or the “My 2012 resolutions” post.
Instead, I recently downloaded the Flight Control HD game for my iPad and was immediately attracted to the graphics. It inspired me to recreate the graphic style in PowerPoint for use in presentations or elearning.

Inspiration. That single word sums up my experience at DevLearn 2011. I was inspired by the passion of the attending audience. I was inspired by the general consensus of the vendors truly working hard to bring us the services, tools, and technologies we need. I was inspired by all the really smart people in one place willing to share their knowledge. I was inspired by the Elearning Guild for their commitment and dedication to this industry. And I was inspired by the architecture of the Aria Hotel & Casino. read more…

It’s been quite the busy Summer as indicated by my lack of posting on a regular basis. In fact it was over four months ago! When I started this blog I had full intentions of writing at least every other week if not once a month. However, my increasingly growing freelance business didn’t include this blog…until now.
I’ve learned a lot in the past year, and one thing I’ve learned is that a blog can be a very valuable asset to any freelancer. It’s your marketing piece, your stamp, your slice of the web where you can share ideas and showcase your work. That said, I’m planning a new look with a new strategy for 2012. More on that later…
This post is about recent discussions I’ve had about freelancing. Not so much freelancing as a business, but the motivation and determination behind it. Plus, my freelancing business is part-time meaning I still hold a full-time day job. So, what does it take to launch a part-time freelance business? read more…
