My Rants and Thoughts

I've been a big fan of Google for a long time. A lot of my job has to to with knowing what Google is doing (or plans to do). As such I use a lot of their software - sometimes just to try, sometimes it becomes a regular part of my routine. For example, I use Gmail as my primary mail client. I even have all my email addresses forwarded there. It's so much easier to check one location for all my mail. Of course I use Google search, but also the personalized homepage. I like that I can get most of what I want there. I use Google Reader for all my blog and feed reading - I can get through a few hundred new posts in a short time. I have a jotspot account which I've been using to store stuff - it's kind of like a wiki but they also offer other things like project management. I've tried that stuff but haven't used it much.

I even managed to get myself a few contracts. Enough to keep me working for a couple years. Then this summer, out of the blue I found out that one of my clients had moved to town and set up shop. Not only that but they may want to hire me. Fast foward a few months and even though I'm still self employed, the liklihood of re-entering the work force is quite high. On the ...

Yes I decided it was time to see what's new with blogger. I can see it's been a little while since my last post here. Truth is, I have been blogging elsewhere but lately have found that I kinda miss a place to post my random thoughts and rants. So I came back. Did you miss me? Probably not, but that's ok. I think moving forward I'll play with the look of the site a little - it's still using an old template. I've gotten better at blog templates so maybe I'll take a stab at a refreshed one for here.
