Zoundry, Ubuntu

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

Zoundry looks like a pretty cool blog editor for Windows. Lately at work I’ve been charged with setting up a blog system for one of our company divisions. I’m tempted to switch it back to Wordpress but we’ll see how it goes.

Westward Ho!

Saturday, December 10th, 2005

I support an open society.  I believe that the more open people are and the more they share with the world, the better they become.  Of course, it puts one in a vulnerable place by exposing too much.  On the flip side of being "open" I also support personal privacy.  I think the direction the internet is going will allow more people to intercommunicate in a semi-free and semi-private environment.  Self-expression is important and this latest artform is really exciting to me.

As part of this open concept and something that’s exciting to me is that I’ve accepted a position with Terra Resource Group in Everett, WA.  I’ll be reviewing a formal offer letter in the next few days and negotiating the finer points.  My work with Terra will include pretty much everything related to Information Technology. At this point it’s part-time but I plant to continue working part-time for WWC remotely. 

Using an alphabet soup of technolgoy like VPN, VoIP, IM, Email, and Video Conferencing I can virtually be on campus.  In addition we make extensive use of BaseCamp (for project management) and Eventum (for issue tracking) so we can more easily mange a workgroup spread across the globe—we even have a student working from Moscow.  emoticon

Lots of work to do to get ready for this move…some of which I enjoy other parts I loath.  All the best,

Daydreaming

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

I spent 7 hours at WWC’s Fine Arts Center yesterday helping with the setup for a concert, running some of it, then tearing it all down. I’m beat—thankfully I had help. But, it was a pretty good show and I got to try out a bunch of new gear we bought for Campus Sound. Nice sounding stuff, I’m pretty jazzed about that aspect.

The band that played is called Daydreamer. They’re from Bellingham, WA, and play in the northwest mostly. Check them out.

So much to do today, I should quit playing with WordPress. I’m trying to find nice themes and cool plugins and it takes a fair bit of time—addicting in fact. :)

Resume

Monday, May 3rd, 2004

So, I’m not really looking for a job right now. I’m quite happy with my present employer. However, I’m always looking for a challenge.

While I will eventually own my own business, and to a certain degree I already do, I also want to gain practical "real-world" experience.

Feel free to checkout my most recent professional resume in both HTML and PDF formats.
