Just wow...

It's been nearly 2 months since I last posted - most of that time has been spent finding (and getting) a new job, getting crushed by a 58 mile (avg. 90 minutes) each way commute, and getting further obliterated by school.

Combine a desire to get a 4.0 in this master's program with a desire for a "normal" social life, and a helluva commute, and you've got a recipe for radio silence.

Let's see....updates:

  • I'm an uncle!  My sister had a baby.  Actually a little while before my last post.  He's cute, but I'm definitely not good at taking care of babies.  Exhibit A: I had to babysit for an hour.  4 phone calls, 1 stinky diaper, and a lot of crying (his, and a little of mine) later, I was relieved of duty.
  • Got a new job - went from being a "Technical Analyst" to "Software Engineer", a good move career-wise I think.
  • I've hit my checking account goal (see updated goal tracker to the right), mostly thanks to my new job overlapping slightly with my previous job's severance package.
  • I've been contemplating "going public" with this blog.  Haven't pulled the trigger yet (obviously), but may sometime in the near future.
  • Got a new digital camera for my birthday!  It's compact, 10 MP, and has a good amount of "pro" features hidden in all its little menus.  Just need to get a larger memory card.  1GB doesn't cut it anymore when pictures are 5-10 MB.
  • I'm going to Europe in May.  Should be a fun trip!  Will post about it afterwards (including pictures!)
  • I'm woefully behind on my 101 Things.  Dammit.  And that's the page that drives all my traffic!
How have you all been?
