Back to the Gym!

I’ve been pretty quiet on the blogging front lately. After getting off to a promising start last year I moved into a new house and began spending a majority of my time stripping wall paper and painting walls (that was of course after packing and unpacking a house full of goods) instead of blogging. Then I got started again but got kinda busy with work for a while and stopped. That stretched into the Christmas holidays which is a busy family time and for the first time in years I stayed off the computer completely. Then I got started up again in the new year only to go radio-silent while I explored some new career opportunities at Sun, Google, and Amazon.com.

In the days since my decision I’ve been swamped with closing down work, saying goodbyes, and trying to plan a move of myself and eventually my family to Seattle. There simply wasn’t time for writing. But these things are just excuses…

Blogging is like working out – if you get a few sessions in a row under your belt you get into the routine and you do well. But as soon as you miss a couple of days it’s pretty easy to miss weeks and then months and suddenly you’re not a blogger, you’re just someone with a stale web page. So it’s time to push myself “back to the gym” , to get into the routine, to share and participate in the conversations that are happening and maybe even build some (mental) muscle.  See you there!
