Notes:
-Small miracle this morning as my dad and I were on our walk/run. The roads were like bullet proof ice this morning. They were snow packed but it was warmer so they were melting. We drove up the canyon and it was so sketchy that we turned around. On the way back, we started to slide off the road towards a steep bank that went down to the river. Anyway, we were about to slid off the road and suddenly we were able to stop. We didn’t know how or why but we were able to stop. That particular corner sloped off the wrong way (downhill) and could have dumped us off the edge. Anyway, once we stopped we said a prayer. My dad then put the Jeep into 4-wheel drive low and we crawled out of the sketchy zone. We ended up drifting sideways down the next hill as well. Super slick. We made it out eventually to plain ground.

We then put on some special foot traction devices and went on our run. As part of our run we ended back up the canyon by the hill and corner that almost ate our lunch. With the foot traction stuff we could walk on the icy road. What we found at the scene of our almost crash was pretty cool. We found a small rock that had been dislodged when we went into a skid. The rock had left a small grind path in the ice for over 7 feet. Basically as the wheels locked up the rock was in front or under the back right tire. It’s carve in the ice was the only visual evidence of the skid. As we looked at the scene, we couldn’t help but feel blessed. That little rock being drug under a locked up tire helped stop the vehicle from going over the edge. That same rock, most likely also allowed for the Jeep to get traction when crawling forward to get out of the danger.

I am so grateful for a loving God that watches over us and teaches us along the way. I’m grateful for the Rock! (Sketches on scans in photo gallery)

-I want to map out each tool as blocks. Break it into tools, sections, subs, and options… Similar to the plates and cup analogy but use blocks and wireframes.

Blocks & wireframes: (sketches on scans)
• Main items
• Line items
• Payments
• Photos, scans, files, flex grid, etc.
• Internal & External API socket options


-As a note, a wireframe is a mix of both technical information as well as a visual representation of the data. It is very simple but helps to convey functionality, behavior, and priority of content. See Wikipedia – website wireframe – for more information.
-A new personal setting could be what set of my cart favorite buttons to use. That would really help save users a couple of clips. Idea came from the Salida, CO developer.
-Showing big picture to smaller sub details. Yesterday, I used simple drawings to talk with different people to show multiple different levels and how we deal with each one. These could be some great teaching analogies. Think big picture… clear down to smallest pieces and sub details! Huge to micro – go as deep as you want!
