Enjoy!
It's been a couple of weeks (yes - only a couple of weeks) of upheaval for my employment situation, and I want to talk about it in depth, but I'd like to see how the next bit plays out fully before I embark upon the quest of publishing it.
For now, I'll summarize:
I was provided the opportunity to do a contract gig after having worked full-time since 1999. At first I scoffed, but then I got everything I asked for, re-considered, and now I'm taking the gig.
I swear there'll be more details.
We cool?
Hi everyone!
For the last few weeks, I've been mulling a lot about things, and remembering how therapeutic it was to write stuff down. In the past, I was all about writing stuff down, but just for my purposes. Now, even if no one is reading it, I like the idea that someone could read it, and either it helps them out, or they help me out.
Enter Blog #2, where I'm going to keep things theme-less for now, and despite excellent advice, I'm not going to set an expectation for when new posts will happen.
Here are the two things I want to accomplish with this blog:
1 - I'd like to be completely honest, so posts might be boring or surprising, depending on nothing at all.
2 - Potentially in conflict with #1, I'd like to keep a generally positive tone. I consider myself a fairly positive person, so I hope this will be easy, but we'll see. Similar to Asimov's rules of Robotics, I'll defer to #1 when I gotta vent.
I warn in advance about potentially boring content, but if it's too boring for you, either don't read, or let me know how I can service you better :)
Thank you, and welcome back!
Hi all,
The last week has been a ride of awesomeness. There were lots of opportunities for pictures, and lots of really awesome outfits worn. Check out the pictures!
Hi all,
Hi all!
Sorry for the radio silence, but I've had some stuff going on. I seriously enjoyed the heck outta my last weeks of unemployment, and took a lot of pics (see below).
On another note - I really dig this new layout. I was all set to shut down the blog, since I didn't have the time, but I think I'll find the time now. What do you think?
Here are some pics from October 5th - 10th - I'll make posts with the rest soon:
Hi all!
This weekend was delivered solo, as Heather has been on a well needed vacation in Ontario (coming back today). That being said, my hands were often making sure a certain 2 year old didn't die, and not so much on my camera, but there were some times where hit cuteness put an override on my crippling fear of his harm. These are those times:
Hi all!
I'm very glad that Joel is turning 2 this week for many reasons, but one reason especially is pretty silly. When Joel turned 1, I started a new album in Picasa, since they had a limit of 1000 pictures per album. Tonight's upload brought his album back up to an even 1000. If you're thinking "You take way too many pictures of your kid", you are not alone.
On a second note regarding my fondness of technology and sharing - Google+ may well be replacing this blog. If you have a feeling about that, let me know - online or offline. I'm not sold either way yet, so your input would be appreciated.
