Blog post by email

I just found the option to post blogs via email; and, this is my “Hello World” email blog post

Moving on…

May 1st, I start a new venture with Arch Bay Capital. Still in a developer role with lead responsibilities, although their titles are “different”. The organization isn’t a development shop and is more akin to a financial or Wall Street organization and thier titles lean more towards that industry.

I had a great run at Exsilio and very much appreciate the experience gained and knowledge learned. I’m just at a point in my life where I seek an even work-life balance as one of my top priorities.

Tired

Last week the earliest I left the office was around 1 AM, latest around 4 AM.  On average I was going home at 2 in the morning and back at work around 9.  This week has been better but still put in over 8 hours a day.  I just feel so wiped.

 I usually try and find the positives in any situation but this one has been very tough to even do that.  I guess I can always fall back onto the “lesson learned” category; however, if it is repeated, is it really a lesson learned?

Vehicle Version Upgrade

After being car-payment free for the last couple of years, I finally broke down and traded in my old vehicle, a 2000 Mustang.  Pretty much the basic model – manual transmission, cloth seats and all standard equipment.

This was taken around February 2007 while I was in Utah.  High torque, rear wheel drive vehicle aren’t that great in the snow.  While in Utah, I did a 540 degree spin across a 4 lane highway while it was snowing.  I’ll save the details on that for another blog.

 Anyway, last Labor Day weekend, I went and purchased an Altima.  Actually quite a bit of a jump in terms of amenities available when compared to my former car.  I think with the exception of satellite radio, a sunroof wind shield and aluminum kick plates, I pretty much got all the options that were available.

 These photos were taken at the parking lot of the office building I work in.

Tomorrow (Saturday), I’m going to have the windows tinted

Update: 9/15/2007

I opted for medium tint for the driver and front passenger windows and dark for the rear passenger and rear windshield. Here’s what it looks like now:

New Blog

I was going to write my own blogging application, but as you can see that didn’t happen.  I used to have a blog at the ASBESTOS site, a guild of friends and gamers for those that don’t know.  I wanted to separate that site from my random thoughts.

So here we are today, a fresh start.  Now I just need to update the link on Dev-Geek.com to point to this blog site.
