Rolling Water

Yeah. For those who have seen the blog previous to today, you may be wondering at the change. For those visiting the blog for the first time today and afterwards, the name has changed from Rushing Waters to Rolling Waters. See this post for more details.

So, why the change? Well, a few reasons. I have not really been satisfied with the idea conveyed with the word “rushing.” It felt too…rushed, too forceful, and a little bit dangerous. That isn’t what I wanted to convey about myself.

I wanted something more poetic and natural sounding. I ran across exactly what I was looking for in the D&C, section 121 verse 33. The phrase comes from a question posed, “How long can rolling waters remain impure?” which has profound and personal meaning for me.

“Rolling Waters” is much more poetic, much more natural and softer sounding, feels less dangerous and more like the image in the blog header. I would much rather be connected with thoughts of life-giving, nourishing streams than with potentially destructive floods.

Well, I got an 80% score on the second half of the Omniture Implementation Test, which means I passed. I will know how I did on the first half in a couple of weeks. According to Omniture, only two people have passed the second half, but failed the first half. I hope I’m not the third.

A passing grade on both halves means I would be certified. A failing score mean I would have to take the test over again at some point if I wanted the certification.

This week I am in “Omniture University,” which is another name for SiteCatalyst User Training. More of review than actual new knowledge, but still informative and good to fill in the gaps caused by my undirected self-study.

Whether or not I stay at Omniture for a long time, and there’s no reason not to, I will have some very marketable skills to take with me.
