ffmike | 6 years ago | on: Half of American workers would rather work from home forever: poll

I've been full-time remote (work from home, with a 3-year stint of work from RV) since 1995. It's always worked well for me, and I've been plenty productive enough to keep employers happy. Raised 4 kids in that time, too, including homeschooling. When it works, it works!

As an author with half a dozen or so titles in this archive, I'm happy to see this. It's not like I was making any money from books published a decade or more ago.

I've done everything from lead developer to VPE to Engineering manager to architect. Working for a little medical company now, but our work is not on the critical path to pandemic fighting so we probably won't last.

If you're intrigued by this, William Leary's book "Project COLDFEET: Secret Mission to a Soviet Ice Station" is definitely worth a read.

ffmike | 8 years ago | on: Girl Scouts Embraces STEM and Adds New Badges

I'm a Girl Scout leader in the Midwest. Most of the leadership in this area (adult & youth) is at best skeptical about this initiative, and at worst openly hostile. Girls do not come to Scouting to learn about financial literacy and cybersecurity. They come to spend time with their friends, to be outdoors, to have parties, to do craft-y things. The cost of some of the new badges is also a great concern.

I passed this link to my dad, who actually spent a good chunk of his professional career working with fluorine compounds. His comment: "The guy is just chicken -- or ill-equipped for fluorine work."
