Ending the Radio Silence

It’s been a few months since my last post, and I’m determined not to let this blog fall into obscurity and disrepair before it even gets going, like so many housing development projects of ’08-’09. My excuse this time around is that my creative attention has been drawn away these past few months by a new job.

I don’t want to spend too many words on that now, as a transition like that is always a personal and delicate thing. Suffice it to say that I really loved my previous employer (www.yogapro.com), worked with a bunch of great people and learned and grew an incredible amount in just 3 short years, but it came time for me to move on. And somehow amid the job crisis I was lucky enough to do just that. In fact, I had quite a long conversation with a very close friend about how I’ve led a seemingly charmed life, with many major events “falling into my lap,” and whether that meant it was important or not to “seek out” your life’s purpose. But that’s all for a separate post.

Which brings us to the present, where I’m currently working for Greenview Data, a very cool and nerdy company whose office abuts a cornfield and who employs a dog named Otis to ensure that no scrap of food goes un-begged for. I wear a few hats at the company and I’m still feeling my way around, but I’m mainly responsible for managing the website (with a redesign hopefully coming soon) and new social media efforts, which is all a fancy way to say I’m spending my days tweeting and blogging. Thus, not as much attention for my own online social presence. However, in the coming months I should have some more time on my hands (more on that later), so now seemed to be as good a time as any to climb back on the horse. I’m getting ready to throw my hat into the Tumblr ring (tumblr.dgoings.com) so hopefully that will fill the void a bit between here and twitter.

In other news, I still really want a Nook but keep forcing myself to hold off for that sweet Android tablet with the Pixel Qi screen that I’m sure is gonna show up any month now. I’m almost certainly getting an HTC EVO next month, assuming they get more in stock, which will be my fourth smartphone since April ’07 (Moto Q, iPhone3G, myTouch3G) and keeping Verizon the only major carrier I haven’t used in the last decade. And I’m more upset by the World Cup not having instant replay for goals than by the U.S. national team losing.
