Long Distance Half-Steppers - “Self-knowledge is a bitch.” I have been all of these people at one point or another, and I’ve definitely run with all of them. There are more I could add to the list too! Desmos Graphing Calculator – I am in nerd heaven. I can’t wait to play with this gadget.

First, let me clarify. When I say, “working from home”, I don’t mean the occasional Friday or snow day. I’m talking about working from your house, day-in-day-out. Telecommuting full time is definitely not for everyone. I tried it during the dot com days with limited success myself, but I learned a lot during that time about how to pull it off and some pitfalls to avoid. Since it seems like Read More ...
