gearhead for a week

By admin | Published: January 16, 2010

it’s official, i’m now spending my days as a billy w/ the rest of goats at backcountry.com. like every new kid i spent my first week in gearhead training; a five day crash course in customer service and the labyrinth that is inventory mgmt. by the end of the week my trainers (shawn & angela) had me completing customer tickets, tracking order, handling miss-ships, refunds, exchanges and even chatting w/ customers about gear. pretty sweet! i have a profound appreciation w/ the frontline troops and the warehouse dudes.

what does it mean to be a technical program manager?

By admin | Published: May 28, 2009

if someone asked me in an interview (or if i was asking an interview candidate) i would say you are a technical lobbyist. like a lobbyist on Capitol Hill your job is to influence, communicate, be a knowledge expert, coral resources and have an ever evolving plan to execute on your objectives. only difference: you grease palms w/ executives instead of senators and congressman, you trust engineers instead of staffers to get things done and you are paid by the institution instead of a client.

the mozy $5 insurance policy

By admin | Published: May 21, 2009

it’s no secret i work @ mozy and so it comes w/o saying if you aren’t backing up your family photo’s, muzak and other important data then you are crazy! it’s a no brainer; because of the sheer amount of data we collect and generate data loss is inevitable. for $5 bucks a month you can backup an unlimited amount data online.
