Open Mic 7pm Chgo Time: It's About Time Management!

by

Join Us Tonight

We might talk about how we track our time, what makes us lose track of it, whether we bill by the hour, do we lose money when we do that, how we make sure we have time for things we want to do, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing.

Oh, and bring example links to share — about time management.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

The Mic is On: We're Talking about What We'd Like to Learn

by

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Everybody Wants to Learn Something!

It’s true. No one can do everything that they would like to. We can’t dream up and build every idea we conceive without learning a thing or two. What would you like to learn

  • to do,
  • to make,
  • to try,
  • to craft,
  • to understand,
  • or to be better at.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links to thinks you can teach or want to learn.

It’s true. No one can do everything that they would like to. We can’t dream up and build every idea we conceive without learning a thing or two. What would you like to learn to do, to make, to try, to craft, to understand, or to be better at.

That’s what we’ll be talking about tonight. Well, that and whatever else comes up — as usual.

Oh, and bring links to thinks you can teach or want to learn how to fix.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Let’s start with:

  • The first “kids” we kissed
  • The traditions we had
  • The stories we made up about neighborhood folks
  • The games after dark
  • The things our parents never knew

And, we’ll talk about whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about when we were kids to share!
