Zen Point update

(February 22nd, 2009 - 2:12PM)

I'm debating changing the purpose of this blog.

I've gathered a lot of insight into running a small business, and I think it may be useful to others if I use stevekwan.com as a soapbox for my ideas and experiences as an entrepreneur. I'm thinking of chronicling my small business experience here, and perhaps creating a Zen Point blog where I'll write exclusively about UX.

Of course, this all assumes I can find the time to blog, and by checking the datestamps of my recent posts, you'll surely conclude that I don't have much time for this sort of thing. :)

I've been working a lot lately. It's hard to keep your work to a minimum when you're getting paid by the hour. Plus, I really enjoy what I do, so although it's cutting into my leisure time and training, I don't mind punching a few extra hours.

I've also resumed work on my B.Tech. After years of procrastination, I'm working on my practicum - the last thing I have to do before I graduate. I'm thinking of doing an MBA after, but I don't know if I can justify the $30K+ price tag. If anyone has experience or thoughts on MBAs, please share.
