Rick made me do it
Friday, June 30th, 2006Day in, day out, all I hear is “why haven’t you blogged yet?” Well, here I am, Rick! Happy? Blogalicious.
Anyhow, enough ribbing on ol’ Rick. He’s about 40 posts ahead of me, so I can’t really talk. Speaking of talking, though, what am I to write about? That’s what I kept asking him and he didn’t really care. And so, my first post is prolly going to ramble. I apologize in advance, and will accept chastizing with a repayment of only thrice. You’re welcome. That’s my Special First-Post Deal.
So EdgeCloud, huh? Man, what a roller coaster ride. Laws, regulations, accounting, customers. Products, late nights, cokes and laughs. And still more to learn. Looking back, it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. Looking forward, it’s daunting to think how far we’ve yet to go. So many plans, hopes and dreams. And yet, only 24 hours in a day. Of which, sleeping, eating and working “the day job” take up a substantial part. Leaving precious few hours to hack at EdgeCloud.
And of course, to maintain our sanity we still have to relax with hobbies, families and other distractions. For example, music. I have music playing probably 90% of the time I’m awake. I listen to most everything.. Techno’s my favorite, by far. But I listen to rock, jazz, classical, opera ( occasionally ), swing; just about everything.. Right now I’m enjoying some Nat King Cole. You ever heard “Mr Cole Won’t Rock and Roll”? Great song. Very tongue in cheek. Check it out sometime. Oh, and I have to make a confession. *deep breath* I love ’80s music. Erasure? Duran Duran? Oh HELL yes, and many, many more groups. There will be posts dedicated to such things in the future. I’ll try and preface them with a warning and disclaimer for you Non-Believers.
Then I have a “few” projects. I’m sure over time you’ll hear about them, but the one I’ve been working on recently is my old Subaru. I picked up this ancient Subaru XT Turbo for $350 a few months ago. 1986. Oh yes - 20 years old. It was running when I got it - but sadly the drive home was too much - oil pump seized up and ate one of the timing belts. Anyhow, I’ve been rebuilding it and have some preliminary pics and descriptions up here. Just got her running again earlier this week, so hopefully I’ll be cruising in the Death Star soon! ( When I update that site with exterior and interior shots of the car, you’ll see why I call it the Death Star )
Wordy! I can get long winded once wound up. Kinda like those toys, I guess. On that note, I sign off. I’ll be better about this blogging thing, both in quantity *and* quality. 
Cheers
