The end has come of my eight week session. The results weren’t as good as I wanted when it came to the weight loss part, but I can live with the results. In mid July I started at 225lbs, which is very disappointing because last summer I was basically where I wanted to be forContinue reading “Week Eight Summary”

Apple Picking
We went apple picking as a family today at Noggins Farm Market just outside of Wolfville. It was like we were tourists in our own town. There were so many people around all looking to do the same thing. Enjoy the Autumn in the Annapolis Valley and take a tractor pulled wagon ride back toContinue reading “Apple Picking”
The Grand Meetup Gitters
This past week has had me getting caught up on a lot of things, trying to be prepared to go away for a week to our annual company Grand Meetup. Last year I started working at Automattic on my Trial just shortly after everyone returned. At least one of my interviews was as they wereContinue reading “The Grand Meetup Gitters”
Wapuu Family
I posted this originally internally at work, but it is cute so I thought I’d share it here as well. The kids love Wapuu almost as much as I do. My newest little nephew now fits into his Wapuu onesie better so we figured we’d get a picture with everyone in their shirts. So weContinue reading “Wapuu Family”
First Kickstarter Reward Arrived
Yesterday I received my reward for backing my first Kickstarter campaign ever. Before I found this randomly in one of my social media feeds I had been looking at a way to to get some USB outlets in my home so I didn’t need to find chargers. There always seems to be an abundance ofContinue reading “First Kickstarter Reward Arrived”

The assignment was to first learn then teach the rest of my classmates about linked lists. This time instead of software engineering I was trying to engineer happiness by givingContinue reading “WordPress.com 101”
The All Knowing
Ah the joys of parenthood. Caile is at that age, really she’s been there for a while, where she realizes her Parents don’t know everything, but that’s OK because she has a solution. Today she brought home her musical instrument from school that she will be playing in the band. She decided early on sheContinue reading “The All Knowing”
BlogJam 2015
When I first found out about the BlogJam conference that was being planned for Halifax I was very excited. Reading about many of my co-workers who travel to WordCamps and other conferences related had me a little envious. Just the lead up to the conference is what lead me to discover the new WordPress meetupContinue reading “BlogJam 2015”
Week Seven Summary
This past week has been birthday central for us. We’ve celebrated so many birthday’s it’s crazy. I believe there has been 7 birthday celebrations I’ve been a part of. Some of those are duplicates for people where we had a small get together and then an actual party, but it still caused me to giveContinue reading “Week Seven Summary”
Best Note Taking App
Since early in my computer use I’ve used a basic text editor to leave notes for myself. With years of Windows use it used to be Notepad. I’d have text files saved in directories all over my computer. This obviously didn’t scale very well and it was hard to find anything again when you neededContinue reading “Best Note Taking App”
