Bio
Dick Carlson is an Instructional Designer, author, speaker and project manager who develops amazing learning experiences for technical audiences. Without thinking it through completely, he moved to South Carolina because his wife found a new job there and it was sunny. He now sweats a lot more than he did in Seattle, but really enjoys the “Famously Hot” weather. A couple of weeks a month, he drives to Austin to be close to startups and feel even warmer.He writes a blog called “TechHerding” that started when he began herding technical cats at the Microsoft Corporation in 2001. He was sometimes successful at this. Other times, living in a place with an average August temperature of “Oh My God” sounded like a really nice vacation. He no longer does cat-herding (for Microsoft or anyone else) but the name stuck. It’s also at the top of the search engines, so for good or bad it’s going to stay.
