I got a new blackberry today! It’s really nice. I got a camera, and video recording built in! That’s really nice. I love it. Plus, the memory is expanded so I got around 100mb free memory. Awesome. That’s one very nice benefit I get from working at NBC. See. Good thing I never left! 🙂 We’ll see in a few months.
But I’m learning. I am learning mostly on my own. One the train to work, I get 40-50 minutes of reading time. Before, I used to spend the time reading news. I now read dev material in the morning. That’s great. I love it. I do something similar when I get home. When I feel that I have enough energy and don’t have a headache, I try to read dev material. It’s really helping. I get additional hour or so. All in all, I get 1-2 hours of time that I can spend to improve my technical skills. This is the time I can use to better myself. Can’t go wrong with that!
My son Fabian is shy. I sense that. He’s not very talkative. I need to work with him. I need to break the shyness. It’s going to be a long, almost lifelong process. But I have to do that with him. That’s how he’s going to develop to get better.
One of the great books I”m reading now, How to develop Lifelong Learners. The author suggests talking as the key to kids development. Whenever I get a chance, I should talk to my son. Get him interested in other kids. Get him talking to me. This is something that I also think is very important. I need to incorporate that into our life.
