Pain! Pushing Your Limits

Do you know how to push yourself to your limit, and beyond? … both mentally and physically? Excellence demands that one learn one’s own limits, and safely expand that border. For a better understanding, take a look at the attached photo. This picture is of my youngest son during the Minnesota H.S. Cross Country Skiing Regionals. It’s at the top of a hill the kids refer to as
"the wall" – his expression says it all!  Erik says if you don’t look like this
at the top of the hill, then you’re not working hard enough. (note: Erik’s father understands the pain also …)

Brent Schlenker, over at Corporate Learning Strategy & Development had a similar post and discussion recently … take a look.

The MacIntosh That Came In From the Cold!

Okay … strange post title … however yesterday’s post about running in the Minnesota cold (-18 F) prompted a comment, and then a pleasant email exchange with one of my blog readers from North Carolina, MurphyMac. He has a great blog with his own Macintosh screencast tutorials.  I’ve since added MurphyMac to both my Google Co-Op master eLearning and screencast specific search engines.

Oh yes … here is the Nerd … post 12 mile run.  Minnesota Nerds are tough!

Cold

Hmm …. I’m marathon training. Today’s schedule calls for a 12 mile run.  Normally, that takes me about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Well … given the temperature (-17 F) and wind (20 mph), according to NOAA’s chart (see image) I’m only allowed outside for 10 minutes. Guess, I need to find a facemask.

A Nerdcast Podcasting Tutorial

I’ve created a podcasting tutorial using Adobe Breeze. This tutorial takes the student through the entire process, from hardware requirements to software selection and usage. In addition, my approach was to demonstrate how to create podcasts using a basic, but professional platform

Enjoy! … and Learn.

You will find more podcasting resources via my Nerdcast blog category. Finally, in my podcast tutorial I mentioned that most podcasts have a musical lead-in. c|Net’s Music.Download.Com is an excellent source of legal, free and safe MP3’s.  You can even browse by category … how about some Appalachian folk music??

Since I first created this tutorial, folks have asked me for additional Audacity support content. Here are links to a support wiki and documentation:
