My Attitude Towards Technology

Technology moves very fast and you have to be nimble, but new tools to increase your learning power and efficiency proliferate just as quickly. So it's not that hard to "stay afloat."  I'm a big believer in using interactive video training, productivity software, and the most efficient operating systems and plugins possible.
