The past few days Noah and I have been able to spend quite a bit of time together. We started the weekend out with Saturday morning basketball.

Fast Forward 20 Years
Today my colleague Jeremey DuVall wrote a post called Highs & Lows of Leading a Team, if you’re not following him already you certainly should. The feelings he wrote about are certainly ones I’ve been feeling recently at work. Like many business / leadership books and articles I’ve read there are many comparisons I can make to parenting.Continue reading “Fast Forward 20 Years”
My boy makes me happy at the end of a day!
And then there was one
Just to pile things on I guess, today I got to play grave digger. One of our rabbits passed away. That makes two out of three. I feel bad for the last one. I’m sure it will be lonely by itself. This morning my oldest went to feed them and was worried one wasn’t lookingContinue reading “And then there was one”

Talking about the zip line adventure or the wwwp5k only goes into some of the plannedContinue reading “Automattic Grand Meetup MMXVI”
Worldwide WordPress 5k
During the Grand Meetup one of the events organized was the wwwp5k, a Worldwide WordPress 5k. It’s something that has been going on for few years now where WordPress users can run 5k from anywhere in the world and yet do it together by blogging about the experience. Even though you can do it alone andContinue reading “Worldwide WordPress 5k”
Zip Lining Adventure
One of the activities which was organized while we were there was a zip line tour. Even though I have a pretty bad fear of heights I’ve always enjoyed the idea of sky diving. Not sure I would be able to brave my way through that one, but zip lining through the British Columbia rainforestContinue reading “Zip Lining Adventure”
