at 53 I feel like this has been going on for a while
so far it hasn't caught me yet :)

Hi y'all!  Well I haven't posted here for a while - a long while - my last post was in January, right after I'd moved physically.  The truth is that without meaning to I've moved digitally too ... to Facebook.

Over the past six months I've become a daily Facebook poster, and while I don't really do my "linkblog" thing there (yet!), the best way to keep up with me is to subscribe to me there.  Everything I post to Facebook is public, and while it isn't necessarily the most interesting stuff on the 'net, you're welcome to read it :)

The pic above right is one of my favorite moments from one of my favorite movies, the Social Network.  Right after they've "gone live" they email a bunch of friends to tell them about it.  And Mark Zuckerberg's character says "the question is, who are *they* going to tell?"

The background truth is that I'll go back to blogging "someday", I do miss it.  But I've been super busy at Aperio with a massively interesting project, and involved in two startup companies as a consultant, and have done a little vacationing here and there, and have been cycling a lot, and ... blogging has fallen off my daily todo list.  But please stay tuned and please follow me on Facebook in the meantime :)

Well I'm moved.  And I now have FIOS!  And I like it; it's seriously faster than the DSL I had before.  And after two days of unboxing and messing around and running cables and configuring routers and ... whew, my servers are back up, and the bits you are reading right now came from deep inside a closet of my new house.  Yay.

my new blogstation

Also yay: the Tivo HD is up and online via FIOS without any problems.  And the AppleTV is up and running too, with HD movies now streaming in realtime.  All good.

I shall have more to say "soon" - assuming I ever get back to blogging, that is - please stay tuned...

Hi there!  I'm still in my self-imposed exile from blogging, but I thought I'd poke my head out for a second and say "hi"...  I haven't forgotten you.  My deeply nested yak shaving as I reconfigure my blogging regime continues, and I must tell you many other things have interfered with my recovery.  Not least of which, is: I'm moving!  This is the last post I will ever make from my old house, in which I have lived for ten years.  It's kind of sad, and kind of exciting, and kind of a lot of work.

Ah, the life at sea ... actually it's just a little lake.  But I'm looking forward to living on it :)

I live in Westlake Village, and there is a Westlake Lake, and it has an island, and as of tomorrow I will be living on it.  Among all the things I'm moving is my 11-year-old-PC-turned-into-a-webserver, on which this blog is hosted.  So there will be a disruption in the force, and if all goes well I'll be back on the air in a day or two.  Stay tuned, I will keep you posted, assuming I make it there :)
