iPad vs shipping completed products

By Jordan On 27 January, 2010 · 3 Comments · In General Announcements

So the shiny new Apple iPad has been released.  Sorta.

This mes­sage appears at the tail end of a video trailer from Apple describ­ing the won­ders of their new prod­uct and in an rather anti­cli­mac­tic close sug­gests that FCC approval for the device isn’t quite in place yet.  […]

Last fall, after a late frost ruined all of the fruit on two apple trees in my back yard, I made the deci­sion to leave it all as fod­der for the birds this win­ter.   Much to my cha­grin, the squir­rels are the only crea­tures that have been mak­ing use of the offer­ing and mostly that’s […]

Sometimes wisdom is simple..

By Jordan On 14 January, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In General Announcements

I still have no idea where the impulse came from, but I dug up a copy of Baz Luhurmann’s 1999 release Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sun­screen) this morn­ing.  As I lis­tened with a decade of addi­tional expe­ri­ence under my belt, I’ve real­ized how sim­ple wis­dom can be, and how we tend to ignore that of […]

A glimpse of an alternate perspective..

By Jordan On 12 January, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In General Announcements

I had an inter­est­ing encounter this after­noon when I met the Postie out in front of the house.. I intro­duced myself and as we chat­ted, he com­mented about some stock he’d pur­chased in a com­pany that I haven’t worked for in over a year. For the first time I caught a glimpse of a com­pletely dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive, a world where the only con­nec­tion to your client is through the outer mark­ings on an envelope…

Youth Photo Initiative

By Jordan On 5 September, 2009 · Leave a Comment · In General Announcements

I’ve been asked to build and deliver a 12-week pho­tog­ra­phy train­ing course for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Cal­gary and the Cal­gary Board of Edu­ca­tion, Start Out­reach High School, and yes­ter­day we had a very pos­i­tive ini­tial meet­ing to dis­cuss the logis­tics of such a course. Need­less to say, I’m extremely excited by the pos­si­bil­i­ties this project will present over the com­ing months as both orga­ni­za­tions are really open to new ideas and encour­ag­ing the stu­dents to explore.

Leadership Calgary 2010 Begins..

By Jordan On 26 August, 2009 · 5 Comments · In General Announcements

Lead­er­ship Cal­gary offi­cially kicked off today with a two-hour infor­ma­tional lunch. After all of the per­sonal intro­duc­tions were made, it became abun­dantly clear that we’ve got a group of peo­ple assem­bled for this pro­gram that are, for lack of appro­pri­ate lan­guage, phe­nom­e­nal. As each and every per­son out­lined what they wanted […]

Welcome Back!

By Jordan On 5 August, 2009 · Leave a Comment · In General Announcements

After nearly ten years of online jour­nal­ing and an eight month hia­tus, I’ve returned with a new sense of pur­pose.  Much has tran­spired in the first half of 2009 includ­ing a com­plete dump in the econ­omy, the fin­ish­ing of my home ren­o­va­tions and a crit­i­cal shift in my views of this world..  I still subscribe […]

  • About Jordan


    Jor­dan Cartwright is… Well, um, a lot of things. Most of them are even good.

    I’m cur­rently con­tin­u­ally seek­ing a def­i­n­i­tion for myself that inspires, enlight­ens and enriches the lives of oth­ers. This is long-term work in progress.

    Jobs I’ve held run from bus­boy to bar­tender, com­puter guy to direc­tional driller, pho­tog­ra­pher and tour guide too.. Rarely do I ever iden­tify myself by a job title though.

    Over the past ten or twelve years, I’ve trav­eled through some 34 coun­tries and always rel­ish the oppor­tu­nity to do things that are out of the ordi­nary.

    On this site, you’ll find mus­ings about pho­tog­ra­phy, the oil and gas indus­try, travel, robot­ics, elec­tron­ics, and social respon­si­bil­ity among other bits of my life.
