Et Cetera

In my short three months here in Texas, two things have really stood out:

1. "Come and take it." That's punk rock way ahead of its time.
2. There are different flavors of Shiner beer.

Here I propose a hierarchy, based on many important characteristics (such as how much I liked them), of the various Shiner beers that I've tried. You may disagree.

Coming up in the 26th week of 2008 -- 6 portfolios: 2 voluntary (AAS, ISR Staff); 4 personal (Language, Writing, Training, Archiving)

Last week, I learned that there is a practical limit to the number of disparate tasks that can -- or should -- be undertaken in a short time period, i.e., one week. The problem was twofold: (1) it takes extra time to switch gears; (2) many tasks had an amount of overhead time that was not considered when allocating time, so, for example, a task that takes only 1 hour itself might really be 3 hours when the time for setup is included.
