Earthquake survival…They had an app for that

Awaiting his fate
Woolley is nearsighted and lost his glasses in the quake. But by using the focusing light on his camera and taking pictures, he was able to figure out where he was and where to go. And thanks to the iPhone first-aid app he’d downloaded, he knew how to fashion a bandage and tourniquet for his leg and to stop the bleeding from his head wound. The app also warned him not to fall asleep if he felt he was going into shock, so he set his cell phone’s alarm clock to go off every 20 minutes.

2010 is here!

It’s been quite some time since I’ve written.  All my time for about 6 months was overwhelmingly focused on studying.  I am very happy to say that I’ve passed all exams that I chose to take, and did it in a company record of 6 months.   I received three internationally recognized business certifications.  CSQA through the Quality Assurance Institute  Certified Software Quality Analyst  The International Institute of Business Analyst’s Certified Business Analyst Professional  And lastly, the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Certification. 

I turned 40 a couple years ago and my teeth haven’t been the same since…Not to mention the reading glasses that I must wear now if I want to see anything.  Getting old is terrible.
