“Turning Blue”

Date September 11, 2009

I’ve not been blogging very much recently, and why should be apparent after the end of this post.  I hope to possibly up my frequency in the near future, as more people may perhaps be a little more interested, but once again I’ll have to “feel the water” in the ongoing days/months ahead.  In any [...]

Green Day @ Key Arena

Date July 4, 2009

Went to the opening night of the Green Day tour at the Key Arena last night and had a great time.  I have to say that it wasn’t quite as good as the last time we saw them (Orlando in 2005), but it was a great gig those guys really know how to rock a [...]

It’s how I roll…

Date June 21, 2009

Talking to a lot of people in security and consultancy in general, it’s pretty clear that a) we do a lot of travel as part of our job and b) pretty much have travel down in things that work for us, what we pack, etc.  In some ways I have to be thankful in that [...]

Is this thing on?

Date May 17, 2009

Welcome to the USA

Date September 7, 2008

Strange how a photo jogs your memory to do something.  Tara took this pic as we headed back from Vancouver over the weekend and it reminded me that I said I would write up our green-card process once we were all complete.  It’s been a frustrating ride, and one I wanted to share with [...]

Seattle here we come!

Date June 7, 2008

It’s been brewing for some time, but at some point in July we’ll be moving to Seattle.
We’ve really enjoyed living in SoCal; much more that we’d originally anticipated.  There’s been lots of things to do between LA-proper and San Diego that we’ve had a blast.  So much that it’s difficult to pick any highlights, but [...]
