Smooth
Damn, Death Cab for Cutie’s latest album “Codes and Keys” is smooth and silky like butter. It’s been on shuffle/repeat all day (when I’m not scouring random Spotify tracks). Enjoy.

Time to cop to it in public- I gained a lot of weight while living up in the Bay Area. Part of the root cause was simply taking advantage of the amazing San Francisco restaurants/food trucks/eateries, and another large part being the reduced amount of daily activity I engaged in after fast-tracking myself into the

Fresh
It’s my second Monday at lynda.com today. I’m such a fresh n00b here it’s kinda funny. I do the expected n00b things like show up in the wrong conference room at the right time, call people by the wrong name, and refer to Adobe as ‘us’. All of which I’m expecting will smooth out in

Momentum
Things are moving quickly now. We have a condo down South, movers scheduled to shuttle our belongings down to it, but have not yet sorted out renting our home in Oakland- which is proving to be a bit more challenging than I’d hoped. If we can close this game of property manager phone tag this

Packing
You know I’m ready for a major unrooting when the MIDI kit goes into its bags.
Changes
It’s been a wonderful 12+ years in the Bay Area, but as of July 1st Des, Devin and I are packing up our East Bay house and renting it out, and moving down to Santa Barbara county. Carpinteria in particular, and to a new job at Lynda.com as their developer content marketing manager. My last

Home?
It’s been almost 12 years since we left Carpinteria, but it feels like I never left once my feet hit the sand. Down South for ‘serious matters’, but trying to enjoy the zen of our old hometown while I’ve got the chance. Didn’t realize I missed this place so much.
Whose?
Hint? Order of body mass, large to small.
Restructuring
I took the opportunity – during a recent server migration – to start rethinking my personal site, so will be down for a little while getting things redone into a way I might actually use in the future. So thanks for paying attention, if you have been. Should be back up in Autumn 2012 for
