It was a quiet weekend - I slept decent and recharged. I plowed through a pile of magazines and finished reading Steve Jobs. What a brilliant jerk! What a study in ying and yang. My creativity would have suffered at his tantrums. That book is probably the last hard bound book I will ever read. I found myself wanting to look up words and did not bother with the hassle of booting up my computer. I much prefer reading an electronic book any day. I can look up words I do not know, highlight interesting passages, and book mark items for easy reference later. I love ebooks!! My iPad gives me so much more than just reading a book. Steve Jobs was right that schools need to ditch the paper texts and go digital!

I signed up for Lynda.com and discovered that their online training is excellent. I do not need the exercise files as I move along without referencing them any way. Right now I am learning about video editing using Adobe Premiere and it is pulling together so much as I have moved along this path for the last couple years. I have been thinking about videoing the maternity floor showing how everyone is shuffling papers around and then compare it to going to computer. There should be a significant difference in how the unit looks and feels - decreasing the chaotic look.
