Skillz

Dianne Sylvan blogged a list of her skills/talents over the weekend, and challenged her readers to do the same:

Here are some of the things I can do, from the awesome to the silly. Sit down and make your own list--what are your talents? Your skills? What can you do, either through innate ability or acquired learning?
This is a pretty keen idea, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

  • HTML coding
  • CSS coding
  • Aikido at a brown belt level
  • Typing (100+ wpm)
  • Dealing with bureaucracy
  • Can follow a medium-difficulty recipe for baking or cooking
  • Singing (either Rock Band on Expert or "for real")
  • Playing Rock Band/Guitar Hero -- bass, lead guitar, and drums all on expert.
  • Wrangling Windows (can update my own OS, do basic fixing of Windows machines)
  • Medium-difficulty hardware wrangling (installing new hard drives, for example)
  • Install and use Movable Type
  • Make a passable latte/espresso/mocha
  • Administer subcutaneous fluids to a cat
  • Knitting
  • Can use FrameMaker 7.1 AND 9!
  • Digital photography
  • Can explicate Shakespeare for the lay person
  • Can set up and program a TiVo
  • Documenting procedures
  • Opinion writing - reviews, columns, etc.

Geez, I keep thinking of things. Apparently I know how to do shit! Who knew?
