oil spills suck but math does not

Life has been weird lately to say the least. The oil spill really is very sad and unfortunate, and it seems like there has been quite abit of natural disasters recently too which is a bummer. On top of that, I have for better or for worse, come to the realization that (imo) the economy is probably never going to go back to the good ol' days. I hypothesize it will probably make a very slow recovery as some of the other glooming problems in our country are slowly resolved. When people are all employed and things start picking up, I suspect people will be spending their money in different ways.
Taking that all into consideration, I was sort of feeling bummed for a bit. Business has been slow and tedious as we as a small company try to pick up new clientele. It seems as though everyone is trying to cut corners and just try to stay afloat right now. In previous years, our company has thrived from the constant desire of any business to turn their ideas into a reality. We specialize in providing custom software and we will turn anyone's idea into a good program. These days, people do not want to innovate as much, and the ones that do, have a large pool of people like us to pick from currently. It is a hard game out there.
Recently though, I have decided to not just going to sit around and pout about it. As things evolve around me, I must evolve too. So I have decided to arm myself with a significant amount more math. Math is one thing that when you are a kid you just have no clue how this will apply to your life later. You also probably don't (or maybe you do) think sitting around all day writing code is fun, but turns out it can be extremely rewarding at times. I feel like math is one area that I did not take seriously enough as a kid, and now in my career choice I am finally starting to pay for it as I want to expand my programming into different realms.
I am not going back to school or anything extreme like that, but believe it or not I have hired a personal tutor, and plan to be really hone my skills in linear algebra, trigonometry and calculus into hopefully a sharp toolset that will help me take my coding to new places.
Besides all that jibber jabber of work/career/etc, I am also still trying to have some fun. I will be going to element11 here in just another week where Bat Country will be representin' and I will get another chance to DJ, which is very exciting for me. Hopefully I will remember to record my set this time!
That's all for now!
