The way you respond to a situation is almost as important as the remedy itself. Every now and then, while in our line of duty, we are faced with a crisis. This is the story of Speedbird 38. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. ~ JFKWhen dealing with technology; computers malfunction all the time, code always has bugs and users will always falter.

Anything that goes into my backpack has to earn its place there. This past year, I have lived in 6 continents, 17 countries, 7 time zones and 21 cities. All this while working a full time job, remotely. Work is my primary goal. Work is what enables me to live this life. So obviously, being connected is the center of my focus.
