So it’s been a couple of months since I’ve taken the time to write anything new in this little blog of mine. Laziness? Nope just far far too much has been going on to take anytime at all to sit back and think up the words I usually have no issue spewing forth (isn’t that a great mental image? no…guess it’s just me then). Between parenting, working and trying to stay sane in this crazy world (omg! The inaugration went off without a hitch! Congrats to our intelligent President Obama! Nice to have a leader who can talk again! Plus seeing not one but two (TWO!) competitive drum & bugle corps do the parade was awesome go Colts!)
Anyhow the last bit of 2008 had some very odd ups and downs. Let’s start with the upside though:
- Launched the website for my newest endeavor: Slate Technologies woo. Looks great and was designed by the team over at Duel Designs who do such excellent work that they’re now part of the Slate Technologies team (which is very cool and will help us launch quite a few spectacular projects coming very very soon).
- Started putting more effort into No Filter Fridays, which for those of you who are fans there is now a twitter account called succinctly enough nofilterfriday. Up next on that plate is a weekly podcast with video and some other coolness
On the downside at the end of 2008 was some family drama. Sucks that it had to happen but nice to finally know what type of people some of my relatives are.
Into 2009 we have even more great news!
- I got to have a whole week with my awesome wife Zoe while the boys were off visiting Grandma. It was like a 2nd honeymoon of awesomeness!
- Slate Technologies took just a short 3 months to outgrow Cubespace so we’re moving on down the road to a much bigger place which is good since our team has now grown from 2 of us all the way to 7 of us! Holy crap!?
- We managed to set up a couple of strategic partnerships with a couple of different local startups
- A launch page has been setup for the WordPress Dreamteam site.
Aside from trying to launch multiple products, setup new sites, migrate friend’s websites to better hosting I also found my time even further in demand due to the obligations of being both a “charter member” of the Portland WordPress user group (I’m not entirely sure what a “charter member” does only that it sounds somewhat cool with just a dash of pretentious) as well as being one of the Legion of Tech‘s new board members.
In just the last week I’ve managed to juggle a whopping 5 different projects all while attempting to deal with an impacted abcessed wisdom tooth. Finally managed to get into a dentist today and got a prescription for antibiotics & Tylenol 3. Biggest upshot of the dentist appointment was getting to see just how badly impacted my wisdom tooth is. Ow!
I am setting aside some time to post more often (Friday’s between 2 and 3 I will get a post up no matter what) as well as get back to posting less about work and more about the family and I.
Anyhow there’s a nice tasty little update on what the hell I’ve been doing with my time and if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go enjoy some of the painfree time I’m getting to experience after a week of agony :D
