Working with Shannon. We spent the whole time bouncing between older entries and reviewing recorded chat sessions. Here are some of my notes.

1. The Why (concept layer)
2. The What (structural layer)
3. The How (applied layer)
4. The Mechanics (deep dive layer)

- The timelines help to show what was happening when. That also shows the why, who, how, etc. Time helps tie things together.

- Pulling it all together over time

- Tools that we use - we read over this entry - Web link - time_web_gallery.cfm?corp=371&id=4029

- We tend to talk about features - very feature heavy. What about the other parts such as features, advantages, and benefits. We are only coving part of the deal.

- Maybe circle around and look at the database documentation and UML diagrams. Lots of info and story there.

- Move the vocabulary around so that you can see it more and be able to search it. Maybe even put it into the help files.

- Shannon and I were talking about how originally, I was planning on working on getting some investment monies. That process has slightly changed, and it is getting more of an education type feel to it. Both are still important, I am really enjoying the education part of the puzzle.

- Being "lost" - both virtually and figuratively - how do you find yourself or what do you do when you are lost - maybe pause - maybe try to get to high ground - look around.

- Review

- After meeting with Shannon, I had a few minutes before my next meeting. I went outside and ended up walking (hiking) in the mountains behind my parent's house. They are really steep.

- I am kinda like a digital explorer.

- Deer trail traction - on a steep side hill, you take what you can get and you are so grateful for that game trail or deer trail traction. You may not want to take another person on it, but it helps and works for you as you explore and look for better options.

- I want to smooth out the way for others. That is important to me.

- Educating

- Combining and Mixing
