Hope y'all had as good a NYE as I had! Cheers!

I'm home this week... wild. Working out, cleaning, reading, studying, walking about town... generally doing whatever comes to mind.

I'm also going out in the middle of the week! I'm looking for partners-in-crime... anyone interested in staying up late-ish on a week night? Or perhaps something less sleep-depriving during the day or evening?

Next month I'll return to the same office space I left 2.5 years ago in Pioneer Square for a new role as Director of Design and Usability for Wetpaint (www.wetpaint.com). It wasn't so much the shwag they sent as the opportunity. And the oddness of the opportunity presented by the present employer.

I'll be happy to be downtown again, even if it means ( Read more... )

I will host a discussion class on the evening of Sunday, July 20th at 6:00pm at my home in the northgate area. I expect to continue along the lines of the last topic, but with new points and people.

 A wonderful weekend was spent on Lopez Island. Truly beautiful... peaceful, relaxing, fun and productive. We cleaned the place up a bit more in preparation for summer guests. Let us know if you want to plan a weekend! The next 5 are spoken for, but I'd love to get a larger group in before the boat has to leave the Anacortes slip in mid July. ( Read more... )

REALLY glad for the chance to participate in the annual IA Summit last weekend in Miami. Not only was it well worth while professionally, it was a helluvalota fun. Spent Sunday night in South Beach with a like-minded crew of Germans, Danes, Dutch, a Brit, a South African, and a handful of Americans. Not much rest for 3 intense days - plus long ( Read more... )

I've been rediculously sick for nearly a week. I'm in denial. It still seems like it's not that bad and I'll be recovered by tomorrow. It just isn't happening. I've lost 3 days of work already and I can't imagine anyone wants to see me tomorrow, given how horrible I sound.

Tomorrow we will go deeper into the discussion of relationships. We'll continue the talk of some of the terms we were covering last time and tie it back to the basis of metaphysics. Please let me know if plan to participate.

I'll host an open discussion class on topics of philosophy and metaphysics this Friday, March 7th at 6:30pm at my home in the northgate area. The specific topic is still under development -- if you need to know, contact me Thursday evening. All with interest in discussion and debate about the nature of the universe, our place in it, what we know,  ( Read more... )
