Wednesday, June 11th, 2008It’s been a rough couple of weeks, which is the reason for the darkness here at Midlife Beginnings. Work problems have exploded. Management’s plan was to outsource the bulk of our work to teams in India, but to have it be managed from NYC. They trained the teams in India, laid off […]

Where Have I Been?
Saturday, February 9th, 2008Midlife Beginnings has been dark lately — I haven’t posted in almost a week. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that when I don’t blog for a while it usually means I’ve been busy with work. But this time I haven’t blogged because I have had something on […]

Under the Weather
Friday, January 25th, 2008Something has been going around in my office since Thanksgiving. Just about everyone has come down with a bad cold over the past couple months except me. Until a couple days ago. Forgive my sporadic blogging, but I’ve been feeling crappy. It started in my sinuses, passed down through my throat […]

Advertising on My Blog
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008When I don’t post much it usually means that I am spending a lot of time in the office and this time is no exception. I’ll be finishing up a project tomorrow though and will have more time to blog after I’m done.
One item I have been thinking about over the last few days […]

More Sidewalk Finds and Some Blog Posts that Caught My Eye
Saturday, January 12th, 2008I had another good find today — was walking along the street and came upon a box of books someone was throwing away. It had obviously been rummaged through, and lots of books had been taken, but there were still a few left, including a copy of Jessica Simpson’s wedding book, called “I Do,” and […]

The Life of a Full-Time Blogger
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Well, my two week retirement is almost over, and tomorrow I’ll be back at my desk on the 38th floor of a Manhattan office building. It’s been a good two weeks, even if I have spent more time at the computer than I intended to.
I learned three things about blogging over the […]

How Much to Reveal in a Blog
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008A blog is a funny thing. Sometimes it seems utterly anonymous – after all, this is the internet and strangers are the ones who read my blog.
But then, it’s a small world, and what I write is out there for everyone to see, and could come back and haunt me. What […]

How to Add More Widgets to Wordpress
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007I wrote yesterday that I wanted to make a few changes to my blog, and one of those changes is to have a few more widgets. Problem is, Wordpress’s default settings limit users to 9 widgets. So, as I have often had to do, I dug into the code behind my Wordpress blog. […]

Adding a Paypal Donation Button to Your Blog
Sunday, November 25th, 2007One thing I’ve always wanted to add to my blog was a “Donate” button.
Today I finally managed to set one up. It was easy to add. You need a paypal account and about 20 minutes to complete the necessary steps.
To add a button to a Wordpress blog, follow these […]

My New Blog
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007I have decided to make some changes to Midlife Beginnings.
There are several reasons — all of them good.
When I started this blog six months ago I was in debt, overweight, and miserable about a number of things in my life.
Since then I’ve lost 15 pounds. And I’ve paid […]
