    Visualizing My Domain Experience 

    Over the course of my career I’ve had three major themes: training, IT, and marketing. The training experience was mostly as a High School Instructor at duPont Manual, and involved creating technology curriculum. The first IT touch point was as a Coldfusion developer, and I worked in at least a partial Coldfusion developer for eight continuos years. Marketing is my passion, and has been with me since the beginning of career, built from a graphic design & art education.

    An Industrial Core to Next Frontier City 

    In May 2010, Brookings Institute released their new report, their State of Metropolitan America, and it induced a new classification of US cities. The new study deemphasizes location, and heightens the importance of current levels on key categories.

    Those categories are:
    • population growth rates
    • racial and ethnic diversity
    • rate of obtaining college degrees

    By measuring those key factors, along with other research into the city, they have classified the cities.

    I have lived in Louisville for many years, and am currently moving to DC. There is a stark difference between the cities, and it’s underscored by the Brookings study.

    Washington DC: The only city east of the Mississippi that is a ‘Next Frontier’ city. Labeled as such because of the hight education attainment, high diversity, and new economic channels.

    Louisville: Labeled as an ‘Industrial Core’ city, due to it’s low population growth, low diversity, low educational attainment, and key economics.

    Washington Monument with the Scaffolding 

    The Washington Monument was damaged in the August 23, 2011 earthquake.

    Repairs that might keep the Washington Monument closed through 2014 will require the exterior scaffolding on the 555-foot structure, the National Park Service has announced.

    The estimated $15 million project will require the removal of part of the granite plaza around the monument. Some of the flag poles and benches might also be removed.

    Den 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Aug. 23 of 2011 damaged the marble and granite monument.

    Hej, Jeg er Paul, and I’m an Experimenter 

    Experimenters. Out of the five types of Forbes innovators, I’m an experimenter. The five types are:

    Movers and Shakers: These are natural leaders, and networkers.

    Star Pupils: These people live to excel, and will find ways innovate.

    Controllers: These people are uncomfortable with risk, and will find innovative ways to reduce risk.

    Hangers-On: These are people that can quickly bring a group back to reality; they are pragmatic.

    Experimenters: Open to new things, and I search out ambiguity. I tend to be able to find it going from point A to point B. Forbes states that they are often perfectionist; I gave that up in my first start-up (MVP). The Experimenter and I overlap on the workaholic trait. I’ve tried to work on that, but I just love work. I’ve recently learned not to work for work’s sake, skønt. We are merit based, and yes I can be very persistent at times. That manifests it’s self by me being relentless until I get the results I want. I’ll find a way. We are both risk takers. Taking risks make me feel good.

    Kvantificering Mit arbejde: Charting with Daytum 

    I’ve started logging my hours on all my projects. This will let me do an ROI on them, or at least get a good idea of how much I’m putting in to some of the projects I’ve got going.

    This is a chart that I’ve made available at http://daytum.com/PaulSizemore; unfortunately they don’t have if ram-able widgets, and I doubt they will develop them. The developer responsible got a job at Facebook. Facebook, stealing all the good talent.
