Why dLife/dt? | dlife/dt by Isaac Odim
https://dlifedt.wordpress.com/why-dlifedt
Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. February 25, 2011. In mathematical terms, a derivative shows how one variable changes with respect to another. For example, the notation dy/dx would signify a function that shows how y changes as x is changing. So dLife/dt represents how my life is changing over time. Nerdy I know but it expresses the theme of this blog while paying homage to my engineering mindset. If nothing else, It’ll be a snapshot of my life that I can always look back on.

Back on the Field | dlife/dt by Isaac Odim
https://dlifedt.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/back-on-the-field
Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. Back on the Field. Last Saturday I started my first football game in over a year and a half. Suiting up in all black for the St. Paul Pioneers didn’t have the same gravity of a college football game, but it didn’t have to. It just felt good to play competitive football again. I think I’ll just keep playing football until my body can’t handle it anymore. Local news station’s short piece on the team: St. Paul amateurs play for the love of the pigskin.

H is for Hot Chocolate | dlife/dt by Isaac Odim
https://dlifedt.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/h-is-for-hot-chocolate
Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. H is for Hot Chocolate. As far as I’m concerned, there are two seasons: smoothie season and hot chocolate / apple cider season. I’ve probably drank an average of 5 cups of hot chocolate per week for the past couple months, so I should show my appreciation for the sweet concoction before the trees blossom and my consumption turns to frozen fruit. Here’s to the warm creamy goodness of hot chocolate. By izikoosumohdum on March 8, 2012. Posted in Happy Thoughts Library. Three of a Kind.

Career Arc | dlife/dt by Isaac Odim
https://dlifedt.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/728
Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. Being in the working world for the past few months has had me thinking a lot about the future of my career. I come in contact with all kinds of people within Medtronic and I often think to myself, “Is that where I see myself in 10 years? 8221;, “Is that the career path I imagine for myself? 8221; I look at what people have done to get to where they are, and it makes me think about what I want for myself.

Living with regret | dlife/dt by Isaac Odim
https://dlifedt.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/living-with-regret
Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. Statistically, these are the things people most often regret. Show me someone who says they have no regrets, and I’ll show you someone who denies their feelings in order to adhere to a widely-held perception that regret is foolish. Why are we so afraid to have regret? I recently listened to a TED Talk by Kathryn Schulz where she talked about this exact thing, and it was satisfying to hear someone articulate a belief that I’ve held for so long. Feel pain when things go wrong. T...

Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. Bull;March 2, 2012 • Leave a Comment. For the past couple weeks, I’ve been struggling with a couple different problems. 1) I’m spending too much money. I’m not careless with my money by any means, but I make a good hourly wage and still I’m basically living paycheck-to-paycheck. I’d like to be able to save more for emergencies, be more consistent with contributions to my retirement fund, and also splurge every once in a while without feeling like I’m sinking my financial ship.

I is for Isaac | dlife/dt by Isaac Odim
https://dlifedt.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/i-is-for-isaac
Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. I is for Isaac. Yep, that’s my name. I’m glad it is what it is. BONUS: my name is getting younger. As you can see from the graph below, the name Isaac has gotten more popular recently, so most people who share my name are kids. This means that when I get older, I’ll still have a name that sounds young. Fantastic. The only downfall is that everyone seems to spell it wrong, but let’s not even go there : cough cough: UMDathletics : cough: . By izikoosumohdum on April 23, 2012. Respec...

This is what I’ve done with my education | dlife/dt by Isaac Odim
https://dlifedt.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/this-is-what-ive-done-with-my-education
Dlife/dt by Isaac Odim. This is what I’ve done with my education. I don’t follow basketball very closely, but I think the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament is one of the great events in sports. What makes it so great is the same thing that makes it so difficult to accurately pick the winners: the variability of single elimination. Here’s how it works. Next, this skill level is converted into a percentage chance that seed has of winning a game against a #1 seed. I got ya covered. If two assigned point valu...
