My Blog and Me

I spent a Sunday afternoon back in November setting up a Blog.  I thought "this will be cool!"  I'll be able to memorialize great content, articles, relevant information, and share it with hundreds of followers (have to dream big) that would all share my similar interests and likes.  I mean, c'mon, who wouldn't want to read the musings and adventures of a Gen X Dad who works in Human Resources and spends his free time determining which movie gives the better moral message to his kids, Despicable Me or Toy Story 3?  (For the record, How to Train Your Dragon trumps them all but I think it was aimed more at Dad's than kids anyway).

So I signed up at Blogspot.  I worked diligently on the formats, fonts, and layout I thought would be appealing.  I added pictures that were pleasant and I hoped captured the spirit of the site.  I went with the name CaritasHR (which will be the subject of a future post) and I triple and quadruple viewed it to make sure it all looked good.

Then 2 things happened.

Never Lose Sight of the Important Things in Life

Steve Jobs has always been one of my favorite executives to follow.  I've always felt Apple does so many things right and in the ever changing tech world has stayed true to keeping things simple and easy.  When I heard the news of his recent step down due to his health I searched on TED.com (great website, BTW) and came across this.  Not surprising his message is simple, to the point, and very relevant for everyone who is on their life's journey.

What it is to be a Steeler fan

There have been many stories I've read over the years that talk about what it is like to be from western PA and growing up a Steeler fan. It definately a way of life and a link that anyone who grew up in the 70s in the area will share. Enjoy!
