I should say from the start that this post is NOT about Star Wars. Sorry.<\/p>\n
This is a new blog mini-site for a new direction. After years of working for Apple, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m back to working on my own — at least for now. Part of that means not really working at all, since I had been doing too much work and not taking enough time for myself and my family. I want to let life find a natural flow again, and let that inform my path. I *am* working on some iphone and ipad apps, albeit slowly… ;-) Sometimes it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to get excited about it, when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen the ugly underbelly… but Alienoverlord has long been a seed idea, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to do some interesting things with it.<\/p>\n
I am doing other things as well.. lots of reading for one. I joined a dojo and started doing martial arts again, something I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always enjoyed but rarely found the time for between commuting and long work schedules. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m playing more music — for a while I was playing in a celtic pub band, but the other members decided to give it up for now. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m working on some Bach pieces — on the mandolin. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sleeping more, and have fallen into \u00e2\u20ac\u0153musician\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hours\u00e2\u20ac\u009d again (wake up around noon, or later, sleep around 3AM, or later).<\/p>\n
I would like to do more coding. Since I was laid off, I took a bit of a break from it so as to decompress. But I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to get involved in an open-source project. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been doing development on the mac for the last 10 years or more, so that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my main skill area, although I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m open to other platforms. I like Python as well. Anyone has any suggestions or interesting projects (or if you have interesting employment opportunities in the California Central Coast area), let me know. Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
