I’m at WordCamp Portland 2011, and updated my install today. Figured this warranted a post. Will do a recap later in the week.

Nine Months
I keep thinking about my blog and it keeps sitting on the back burner. It’s not for lack of things I could be talking about, shit in the past 9 months, I’ve…
- competed in a city league ski racing league, and our team won the whole season
- had the worst Christmas ever #christmasfail08
- been [positively] excited about a presidential inauguration
- played a UO officially sanctioned flip cup tournament with the club sports olympics, and we WON
- broke a slalom ski 🙁
- went from 5 down to 2 e-mail accounts, and one of those may be going a way soon
- met a girl, her name is Angela, many of you have even met her by now
- graduated from college!!!!!!!!!
- successfully survived a road trip with Angela through 9 states
- Yellowstone, Ren Faire, Badlands, Wall Drug, SLC, etc…
- partaken in a few dancing lessons (ssssh! don’t tell anyone!)
- somehow convinced Angela to buy a Mac
- dealt with 2 flat tires in 2 different states I don’t live in, and neither one on my personal vehicle
- turned 27
- competed in 9 waterski tournaments in 6 different states, and waterskied in a 7th state
- including Collegiate National All-Stars for slalom+trick, and AWSA Western Regionals for 3-event (and qualified for but didn’t go to AWSA Nationals)!
- upgraded my wordpress blog, twice, without posting anything
- volunteered with a church group on a construction project
- bought a Playstation 2 from a thrift store for $12.50 and repaired it myself
- sold my old DSLR and bought a spiffy new one, and taken thousands of photos with it
- attended a number of concerts
- given up on my football team, due to some unFavreable circumstances
- finally started getting my online portfolio and résumé up-to-date
…and some other stuff too, I assure you. But now that you’re updated on my life, maybe now I can get this site fully back on track again?
You won’t hear a peep out of me
Maybe a tweet though. I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a twitter account. Maybe if I don’t have to write a full paragraph and linkify everything, make thumbnail images, etc, it’ll get me posting to something more often. I made a little custom bit for “Tweets” (posts to Twitter).
Mainly writing this post to see how they integrate with other blog postings.
EDIT (8/2/08): So that didn’t last long. I was tweeting way more than I ever blogged, and a page full of tweets just doesn’t look that good. So I’ve dis-integrated the tweets from the blog, for now you’ll see ~5 at a time in my sidebar.
