2010 – Mike’s year in review
I looked back at 2010 and put together the list of things I shipped. (I got the idea from Seth Godin.) I made the list for me, to make sure I took some time to feel good about me and my work. I do.
I want to share the list with you (because I’m proud of it). So here it is:
65 posts (goal was 52)
4 articles –
- Cured Offshoring (Machine Design)
- Did Modular Design (Mechanical Engineering Magazine)
- Controlled Controller Design (Design2Part)
- Went Back to Basics with DFMA (Knovel)
Workshop on DFMA Deployment
Keynote presentation DFMA Forum
Started a LinkedIn working group on Systematic DFMA Deployment
Pretended to be a country
Wrote an obituary for Imagination
Sought out Vacation’s killer
Put out a warrant on Dumb-Asses
Wrote about balsamic vinaigrette
Looked into the DoD’s affordability eyeball
Told Secretary of Defense Gates how to save $50 billion (He hasn’t returned my calls.)
I hope you had a good year as well. Mike
Crazy picture!
Great year, Mike, please continue the same passionate and well-argued “shipments” in 2011. The picture is an excellent metaphor for looking differently and with an wide-opened eye (a symbol for the mind) at the world, which I believe is the core of your writing on engineering and engineers. It is very poetic.
P.S. I would like to post a link to your article “Cured Offshoring” on my website, if you agree.
