About Me
- Name: transformation
- Location: Tacoma-Seattle, Washington, United States
Born in New Jersey and educated in New York, after practicing architecture, I lived in a zen temple in Korea, did a long stint on Wall Street as a Senior Broker, studied with a guru who lived with Maharishi in India, did a gigantic stint at a big box retailer in building materials. * Most recently was running a Cloud Computing start-up in NJ, but starting over here in Tacoma where people are very nice, and where--aside from out of mainstream urbanism--I love the weather. * Me? I try to be pretty straightforward in my conduct. In 2012 worked for a crazy big company, and wonder why, but what is it called, a market. * I am not easily forgotten. Vanity? Yes. But it is also true that the older I get, the less can I be ignored. I have things to say, and say them. Take it or leave it, I am who I am. I have paid my dues. I have done my time.

It is wonderful to have a new post from you. I wish you well in everything. Peace. -Ed
I sign anonymous because I can't get it to submit any other way.
Awesome stuff dude what a great introduction to DK Transform!
As the Buddhist Dhammapada says in Chapter V called The Fool:
"Long is the night to he who is awake".
life is love, life is work, life is sorrow. right now, i am seeing a lot of joy but sorrow still finds me! jobs for knowledge workers, really, the only reasonable area for me at age 51, are the most competitive, in which employers can cherry picks skills:
"we want someone with an MBA who can do Quickbooks, SQL, Perl scripts, CDL class A license for large trucks, XLS pivot tables, and RN for emergency care".
exaggeration? yes. but not entirely off of reality as it is today. warmly, dk of finite jest!
For some reason there's no time to comment. But that time will come.
Very nice! I would hire ya. Wish that I had a fitting job opening to share...
I think the hiring freeze is loosening. A neighbor who's been laid off for 1.5 years got two job offers this week--the lower was $80,000 for 20 hours work. Two colleagues got jobs the day after they were laid off. I'm optimistic things will turn around for you soon!
Glad you checked out that website and removed your blog entry about it.
Hope you come back to chess blogging some day. Your entries have always been thoughtful, heartfelt, enlightening, and entertaining.
January 1 is coming up. Will you make a new post for a new year?
