I intend to use this as a place to write notes about the various facets of my life. Right now I am trying to decide on a Tagging Scheme as notes are useless if you cannot find them later. One strength of tagging is the lack of a hierarchy. One drawback to tagging is the lack of a hierarchy. So, how I get around that is to mark a very small handful of tags as “general areas”, Then, I include at least one on every blog entry I do. For instance:</p> <ul> <li>*Family*</li> <li>*Technology*</li> <li>*Living*</li></ul> <p>I read. I read a lot. I love books on SciFi and Fantasy, Leadership, Personal Growth, Relationships, Action/Adventure. So don’t be surprised if you see me posting about books I read. Sometimes it may be a book review but mostly it will be notes about a particular chapter/page in the book. It may not even make sense unless you have the book – but it will to me.</p> <p>Groups and organizations I have, or currently, belong to:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.uspa.org/" target="_blank">USPA</a> – US Parachute Association</li> <li><a href="http://www.psia-w.org/" target="_blank">PSIA</a> – Professional Ski Instructor’s Association</li> <li><a href="http://www.marines.mil/Pages/Default.aspx" target="_blank">USMC</a> – US Marine Corps</li> <li><a href="http://sca.org/" target="_blank">SCA</a> – Society for Creative Anachronisms</li> <li><a href="http://www.barbershop.org/" target="_blank">SPEBSQSA</a> - Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America</li></ul> <p>More later dear readers…</p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3917791535140484052-650774601020880149?l=keith-barrows.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Keith Barrowshttps://profiles.google.com/118347867796626195694noreply@blogger.com0
