I'm a motivational idiot savant. I can be damn good at a lot of various things if I could just get around to actually DOING them. Right now, for instance, I could be WAY more productive than writing about myself on Blogger...

The first stop on the last stop on the...

... okay, you get the drift. I'm going with a train theme, here, because it's what I came up with after a long travel from western Massachusetts to my humble abode here in Durham, Maine.

Regardless, welcome to my blog, which serves as a journal for the work I will be doing on my Capstone Project at The Persons School of Marlboro College. I hope this is not only informative to all those directly related to the project, but also entertaining reading to those not directly related to the project.

The Capstone Project, for the people out there that fall into the latter catagory of readers (of which I imagine there are literally millions), is the crowning achievement for those seeking their Masters degree from Marlboro College, wherein we grad students use our respective final trimesters of school moving mountains or figuring out how to walk to Jupiter.

My particular fancy in this regard is to take on the creation of a comprehensive marketing scheme for Mary Ann Fitzgerald's Connected Classrooms website. Sounds easier than it actually will end up being, when this is all said and done, but what's a Capstone if not a glee ride for the gluttonous for punishment.

Today, of note, I met with my advisor, one Elaine Garofoli, and had a hell of a conversation over coffee at Rao's in Amherst. If I get nothing else out this Capstone Project, I'll have made contact with a very interesting woman that I believe may be an invaluable resource for me as long as I'm in the world of business and technology.

Also, if I get nothing else out of this Capstone Project, I'll have blown a good $25,000, because it's pointless to undertake this if there was no degree waiting at the end of the rainbow.

Be prepared for a lot of mixed metaphors.

Because it's getting late and I'm not quite the ankle-biting night owl I used to be (wait... owls don't bite ankles, unless you're talking about the ankles of a small woodland creature that an owl might consider a delicacy... see? be prepared for mixed metaphors...), so I'll detail that meeting in tomorrow's journal entry, along with a posting of my Capstone's list of deliverables.
