Some thoughts on Creating Expertise
Expertise is an interesting topic. One might visit my website and see that I frequently reference creating expertise, at the same time they find a variety of topics spoken about on this site. At one point, I was convinced if I wanted to become an expert I needed to focus on just one subject professionally. […]

The Frankenstein Computer Science Degree
Having already gone so far in learning and working in the computer programming world, it just did not make sense to start over and go get a degree from a university—nor did I really have the time to take off to go and do so. There is so much I have learned hands on coding […]

Design and development LDSPMA website
While serving on the LDSPMA board of directors I have assisted as Marketing and Technology Director. Initially I inherited an older website that had been built a few years previous. In the summer of 2019 the website crashed just months before our main conference for the year. I quickly developed a new website for LDSPMA.org, […]

In this way, PeDRA is generating meaningful data to support health care decisions and improve the lives of patients and […]

My daughter has an amazing cello teacher for her private lessons. Maddy has done a great job in helping Berkley accelerate her skill. In gratitude the Maddy I built MadCellist.com for her. A very simple website that works well for her cello and voice lessons.

Client Website: Wasatch Transportation
In my role with Hales Creative we had a client that needed a very fast and simple website up and running. The client was one who had other—much larger projects with us that we had a development team working with us on. This much smaller project was one I jumped on as my first client […]

Personal website: BCWeekes.com
This website was originally started in 2012 and has seen many iterations over the years. Honestly, it could have been counted as 10 or more projects, but for the sake of this list I will only count it as 1 project. The site is a simple personal website built on the Genesis framework with a […]

Preparation for success is most of the victory
For many, the last day and first day of the year is a day for gathering with family and friends. For me and those I often spend this time of year with, games are an important part of the festivities. I love board games, I love the strategic nature of testing myself against the games. […]

The Deception of Multi-tasking
Multi-tasking is one of those things that sounds like a good idea at first glance but upon consideration loses its credibility when looking at real-world examples. The premise is that there are opportunities where two separate tasks can be done at the same time allowing for more tasks knocked off the todo list. The truth […]

I don’t mind failure.
I read lots of thoughtful posts and memes about— “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” ― Thomas A. Edison I really need to find the source on that, I like to often quote Abe Lincoln and his “You can trust everything you find on the internet” proclamation. Not that I […]

Goals: Failure allows our success to be attainable.
We often joke about not setting goals to avoid setting ourselves up for failure. I have failed before, more than once—and at times I earned that failure. I know how failure feels. I have succeeded before, more than once—and at times I earned that success. I know how success feels. It is true that failure, […]

Defined by Goals
One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. ‘Which road do I take?’ she asked. ‘Where do you want to go?’ was his response. ‘I don’t know,’ Alice answered. ‘Then,’ said the cat, ‘it doesn’t matter. ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland Defined goals are critical to […]

Why are small business owners not using social media?
When I started my first business, not many people used the web. Google was not there for me, no Facebook Fan Pages, no Twitter, no Instagram, and no Foursquare check-in. Social media… what was that? TV ads, print ads, and direct mail were expensive for me to run long campaigns. Not a lot of inexpensive […]
