Dive for a cure fundraiser

Sunday, 18 March 2007 08:03 by Greg
One of my side goals for this year was to return to the sport of SCUBA diving. Yesterday I had that chance with a group of my friends in an introductory freebie dive. We all had a blast and I've been re-bitten by the diving bug. Its also obvious I need to take a refresher course before heading back out into open waters. That aside, my local dive shop, Lynnhaven Dive Center, is holding their annual Dive for a Cure fundraiser this coming weekend (March 23-24). Its a marathon 24 hour dive in their training pool to raise money for Cancer research. I've signed up for the 4-5 AM time slot (yes, that's EARLY) and are looking for sponsors who can donate any amount to cancer research (specifically, the American Cancer Society). I have family and friends, as well as electronic acquaintances who have all been touched by cancer and this is the least I can do to help raise awareness and money... and have a little fun in the process. Please contact me through the site if you are interested in sponsoring me.

Lessons from project management

What is this? Greg has updated his professional blog? Yes, the rumors are true that I've fallen to a different side of The Force and are on a focused management track. While I do miss some aspects of coding, this new opportunity has its own set of challenges and rewards that are just as compelling. Today I came across this excellent blog post describing many of the issues I now face, filled with good ideas and advice. I plan to study it in detail... http://www.projectmanagementsource.com/2006/08/lessons_from_pr.html
