I would think that this article was about me:
http://nets.realgm.com/articles/57/20060129/antoine_wrights_lack_of_impact_disheartening/

Instead, it is about a person of the same name who is playing in the NBA. Kinda kool aint it. I think so, at least until I google and find him instead of me. Doh!Read More

Sitting At A Mtg
I am at a PUG media right now. it is quite kool that the presentation is about effectuve use of mobile technology in politics. The peraon presenting us good, mostly on the knowledge of the end-user end, not so much the technical end.

The more that I am around mobile tech the more I realize the failures of all communication that is not anything that talking face to face about cannot fix.

Now they are talking about is ease of use. makes me think that all mobile unutiatives need to be personal drven now that the devivces are here that can do anything. It sure makes me think.

I am still trying to figure out why I am only seeing one post at a time. Its not like I go in and change settings all the time here. Mildly fustrating, but I'll live.

This weekend was a good weekend, though restful on Sat more than Sunday, seeing K-Gat and Pam was a great way to cap off the weekend. Pics of them should be on the photos page now. As well as other items that happened this weekend. I even took some time to organize my photos (finally), so they arent all in the unfiled category.

www.antoinerjwright.com/mobile.htm would show you the version of my site that works well on a PDA (or if you just dont want to view the flash). I'll have to figure out someway of making it noticable that links are live here, but in time; work is on the plate now and this was a small break.Read More

I have to do a better job of listening and reeling in those same emotions that are a strength. Its been a few weeks now when things have been jumping off a bit more around me, and I have done much less in responding slowly.

To LJ, forgive me bro. I would do better to listen.

There are a ton others, but hurting that convo has made me want to at least write this much.Read More

I am learning about the help desk even more it seems. Yesterday, I helped a person in DAllas over the phone and via email with setting up Bible+ on their Treo. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but I really felt good (albeit tired too) afterwards. It was really kool in hearing about how he uses his Treo to stay on top of things going on at his church (he's a pastor), as well as him giving a Treo to a ladi who isnt able to get around due to polio. I was floored and amazed to hear that someone else is out there doing mobile ministry. Its kinda neat. I just wonder what else it is that I have to learn now so that I can also be of a better service to those who wish to be mobile ministers, as well as those training ministers of all kinds.Read More

Hello all, I just wanted to drop a note that a mobile, non-flash version of my site is now available by clicking the link at the bottom of the page, or clicking on www.antoinerjwright.com/mobile.htm. I figured that sometimes I want to view my site on my Treo, but not deal with all of the movement and colors. There is no poetry or professional section at this time, but if I get the time, I will add those in there.Read More

I just read these over at PDA247.com and these are great. And to think I share a last name with the guy who made them (I werdly enough have asked myself a few of these at times).

"Wright-isms. If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen... and replaced by exact duplicates!" His mind tends to see things a bit differently than the rest of us mortals. Here are some of his gems

1- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2- Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.
3- Half the people you know are below average.
4- 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5- 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6- A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
7- A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
8- If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
9- All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.
10- The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
11- I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.
12- OK, so what's the speed of dark?
13- How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
14- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
15- Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16- When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17- Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18- Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.
19- I intend to live forever; so far, so good.
20- If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21- Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22- What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23- My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
24- Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
25- If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26- A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27- Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
28- The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
29- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
30- The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
32- The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.
33- Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.
34- If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?"Read More

Ever just have a thought and need to get it out your system some...I have one now.

Just a few minutes ago I was sitting here just working when my team lead came over. He began this attitude when I couldnt log into something he set up and then I started jsut wondering why. Immediately came into my mind the life of Joseph. Things went wrong, and just when he thought they would get better, they got worse. He had to find a way to maintain his faith in God despite the people and things happening around him. Of course, in the mist of that he was promoted, and even still that promotion led to even more issues.

The more I think about it, the less I am getting disturbed about things around me. God is in control.Read More

I Don't Notice Everything
This has turned out to be one of those days. Where I thought that it was one thing, a ton of thing happeneat work. And for some reason, sitting at the tea cafe now, just realized that the plastic bag that was on my car this morning was because someone hit the back of my car while it was parked. None the less, I am pretty not happy about that. I have no idea if that plastic bag with note in it is still there, let alone anything else. Lord knows that I don't notice everything, but todayit seems like everything has caught me by surprise. :-)

Father, if it is going to be that I cannot do what I need to do where I am and how I am, remove me from the picture that someone better can accomplish your will.Read More

As I sit here at the ending of another long day at work, I am thinking about a project that I have that is due tomorrow and how for the most part I have done what is asked (still some empty spaces that need to be filled on the pages) and why I am so concerned with usability.

You see, I have to submit a design and the other designer on the team submits a design and then one will be chosen. But learning a lesson from the website design project last year, instead of trying to do something that is impressive and really cool, I am doing my designs to focus on enjoying the pages and usability. THings like bubbles for searching and help features, or popout calendars that are effective, but at the same time differnt are motivating me this time around. The initial impressions have been surprisingly well received, and as I tweak things all the more I hope that at least my point will be made, not exactly chosen.

That brings me to technology. For me, my technology has to be usable, else I wont use it. I laughed this weekend on how my mom in seeing that I have upgraded, she now looks at doing so. Its kinda funny to me, but she showed me something. When something is prescribed to you it doesnt really tick as much as when someone else is using what they prescribed. She sees me and my 650 and it made her wonder again about PDAs. Ironically, she wanted to know how hard it would be to move to a Treo 650, adn while not hard, it would be an adjustment. For her, I dont know. The keyboard might be a bit much, though the device in function is right up her alley.

That leads me to Dad. I think that Dad (God for some folks but He's Dad to me) has molded me to look at life just a little bit differently. I see thru the eyes of others at times, and see with differnt lenses the others. But I look at the way life connects differently than some around me. I see tech being just a tool to help get folks to know my Dad. Where others might not as much. And as Dad directs me in my use and adoption of different tech skillsets and items, I see that my relationship with Him enhances the same as well. Its not always so emotional (then again I am usually overboard), and its not always visiblilly rational (I dont think I am ever that either), but its His heart being poured out thru me into who I love and what I do. I think in that my perspective as to how usable I am with tech, brings glory to Dad in such a way that changes the world for His smiling face :)Read More

I am at my mother's house right now. I came here because I wasnt able to see her for Christmas and was visiting other family last weekend. Though here to reconnect with her, I had hoped that my sister and I would start talking once again. I continue to try something in order to get back some semblance of relationship with her, but she doesnt give me even a look. Its been over a year, and my heart is officially broken. I dont know what else to do at this point. I am pretty much done with solutions.

I dont see Aleta reading this anytime soon. Maybe God will pull something off. If she does, I hope that we can reconcile things...Read More

Hello all;
I hope that all of you reading this are enjoying the new year. For me, I was able to spend the weekend with Kyera and my extended family, do things were very well. If you would like to see some pics of that time, please click on the pictures link. I was able to get some good shots of the sunset, and so pleasse do enjoy them.

Other than that, I am enoying the day as there are manyprojects that are on my plate and the fun of getting them all done is all over me. I am hoping that I stuff clears so that I can move to new things.

That is about all. Kyera and I are talking on the phone as I am typing this on my palm. This is kinda kool. Tech is kinda neat in that respect. Hopefully, items that I write can continue to challenge me, as well as what I get from other sources.
