This is very cool project. I’m looking forward to getting in and seeing what they’ve done on Argyle St.

Throwback Pictures
Recently I installed Timehop on my phone and it’s been showing me some awesome old photos. It got me thinking and I ended up going through some old pictures tonight. I found some really cute old ones of the kids and thought I’d share some.
Shaun the Sheep Movie
This morning we went into the city to see an advanced screening of Shaun the Sheep Movie. It is done by the same people that made Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit. I’d heard of these movies but never seen them so I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I had also never heard ofContinue reading “Shaun the Sheep Movie”
Trip to the Park, Sort of
Plans don’t always work out the way you intend. The rest of my family had plans to go to Hennigars Farm Market today. They were going to have a little treasure hunt for the kids and feed the animals they have. Last minute I realized they were getting ready to leave just shortly before IContinue reading “Trip to the Park, Sort of”
Hodge Podge
Last night for supper Jen made hodge podge. This has to be one of my all time favourite things to eat. It’s a local dish could convince me to become a vegetarian. Usually a fall tradition when the vegetable harvest comes in but really the main thing is having fresh baby vegetables. We were ableContinue reading “Hodge Podge”
Morning Run Picture
It was a beautiful morning, perfect for running. I pushed it and managed a 5K with only one short walking break and long enough to snap this picture. Did it with a pace of 6:48 min/km.

You can read more about the creed in Matt’s post Why Your Company Should Have a Creed. You can readContinue reading “The Automattic Creed”
Finally Running Again
For the past little over a week I’ve been finally getting back into the habit of running. Since the 13th I’ve gone out six times. It has been rough and a little disheartening as I looked back to just a year ago and where I was compared to now. On July 19th 2014 I didContinue reading “Finally Running Again”
Distributed Downfall
Working for a distributed company, and in particular Automattic, is amazing. There are so many upsides and I think talked about a lot of them previously. Don’t just take my word though, take a look through some posts by coworkers. For the past little bit however I think I’ve found the downfall of working remotely.Continue reading “Distributed Downfall”
First Date – Wolfville Reservoir Park
We took the kids swimming at the Wolfville Reservoir Park recently. This is one of my favourite places in the world. Not only does it have a nice walking trail and a mountain bike course, but it also has a swimming area and an amazing view over the Minas Basin to Cape Blomidon. Even withContinue reading “First Date – Wolfville Reservoir Park”
