Wee Library and a Walk in the Rain
Last night Noah and I went out for a walk around Miners Marsh in Kentville while Jen took Ella to dance. It was overcast on the way down but dry.

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.
The Automattic Creed
Right in the offer letter when you accept a position at Automattic you are presented with the creed right above where you sign to accept. I love this. It really describes how things are here. 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”
