My beautiful wife makes pretty things
Aug 4th
The first 2 photos show you (part) of some billboard/banners my wife has running in Seattle.
The second 2 show how damn big her work is.
I love her (obviously).
She makes me…
Aug 3rd
She makes me strong, she makes me think, she makes me weep, she makes me smile. She makes me lucky, and eternally grateful for everything. She is my wife, and this is our third anniversary.
Separation of Work and Personal
Aug 3rd
I posted a tweet today where I comment on how I try my hardest to separate my work from my personal life.
I don’t talk about my place of employment, the work that I do (beyond sharing some code questions from time to time), and try my best not to rant about a specific industry.
From time to time, even with my best efforts, I have pissed off a few people by what I’ve written or said in public, off work hours, away from my buildings.
In my tweet, I said that I feel I do a better job of separating the workday from personal life than our government does in separating church from State. I hope my efforts are enough, as I certainly don’t intend to piss anyone off by my technical reviews, code sharing (never trade secrets), or other rants.
I am extremely passionate about the work I do – more than that, the industry for which I’ve made my career focus. Some shifts in how business is done or public misinformation about my industry breaks my heart, but I carry on. I do my best to educate without mixing the paycheck-generating business with my own opinions.
I hope you all enjoy reading my posts; I hope some are valuable in educating my audience, entertaining some and purposefully annoying my detractors.
At the end of the day, I simply want to remain productive and proactive in the industry that feeds my brain and my family.
