Projects…

So all the big projects at work have been keeping me a little busier than expected. In the last month we completely moved to a new house. So there has been even more delay in the projects I originally had planned. Baby steps are need in these times I guess. I started another semester teaching. Coming to the realization that I have been ‘teaching’ college classes for over 6-7 years now is kind of hard to believe. It’s even hard to believe I’ve been out of high school for 10 years. We recently had our reunion and while it was nice to see my classmates … something was very different. Hard to describe really. I personally was very disappointed. I have accomplished quite a bit in the last 10 years and am very grateful for everything I have. However, I can’t help but wonder if I could do even more in the next decade. Only time will tell…

New Year Larger Projects

So last time I wrote an entree I was in the middle of a very large project at work. It was pretty big… big enough to end up in Wired magazine. It was weird seeing my work as a published article in a magazine I normally read. The success of this of course led to larger projects which have kept we working 12+ hour days at work. The whole life/work balance has really been off. Thankfully, I have a partner who understands — I love what I do. I’ve also been busy working on a museum exhibit. Hard to believe. I helped design and build a museum exhibit. I’m also exploring some serious media encoding thanks to my new Apple TV. Which spawned me starting up a small on the side software business. We’ll have to see where it goes from here.Â Lately I’ve been doing some traveling. A definite change of pace.

All in all life is good. Now if only I could get my ToDo list a little smaller.

New Job…

About five weeks ago I started my new job. So far I’ve been given a opportunity to travel later in the year, get certified, and do what I feel is important on the job. Its incredible to work for a company with set values which dictate every decision made in the company. A company that is dedicated to the customer, employee, and results. It is a great feeling. It reminded me so much of the company I used to work for before Chris died. I hope things continue the way they have so far. That would be so awesome. Take for instance last week. We had an entire day dedicated to the values of the company. Events, activities, social interactions, and food all supported and paid for by the company.
