Since February 16th I’ve had a web cam setup in my office window looking out over my backyard. It’s set to capture an image every half hour when it is light out. The camera is not great so the quality isn’t very good but it’s still pretty cool watching the snow disappear and the grassContinue reading “Winter to Spring Time Lapse”

Great Grandmothers Peony
Tuesday night I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Gardening and plants are not anywhere near my specialty, nor do I even particularly enjoy it much but I planted a new plan in the flower bed I dug the other day, and I am excited about it. It’s really theContinue reading “Great Grandmothers Peony”
Love my car
To me cars are a necessity. If I lived in a big city with great public transportation I would gladly give up my vehicles, buy a good bike and make my way around that way. However living in rural Nova Scotia with four kids having a car, and in our case two, is pretty muchContinue reading “Love my car”
More thoughts on relationship building
I’ve been thinking more about my post the other day building relationships and how I can apply it to my work. When I wrote that post and was thinking about it I was coming more from the personal side. Building relationships with people I meet or interact with. Why not look at it from aContinue reading “More thoughts on relationship building”
Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada
Originally posted on Office Today:
Another gorgeous day out today. I took advantage and spent a while working outside at my favourite cafe in town TAN Coffee. Fresh air and good coffee make the work day even better! Kentville might not be as exotic as some of my co-workers “offices” at https://officetoday.wordpress.com but it still felt great today! Office TodayContinue reading “Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada”
First zoo visit of the year
This weekend has been a birthday weekend for Jen and the kids. On Saturday they went to two different parties and yesterday we had another one to attend. The party was at Roo’s Playland. It had been a few years since we had taken the kids there, but they used to love it. It isContinue reading “First zoo visit of the year”
Spring day and not so naked gardening
It felt like spring yesterday! It was about 12 degrees Celsius and sunny. Seeing as I procrastinated for way to long doing our taxes again this year I didn’t get to enjoy nearly as much of the day as I would of liked. For the morning and part of the afternoon I spent my dayContinue reading “Spring day and not so naked gardening”
More Reading
This past year as likely been the best year I’ve had in a long time for reading. By reading I mean actual books that aren’t a school text book or something technical like learning JavaScript. It’s not that I don’t enjoy reading or think it is important because I do both. After a recent teamContinue reading “More Reading”
Building actual relationships
For the past while I’ve been slowly working my way through Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh. It has been out for a while but I hadn’t heard of it, or at least didn’t recall hearing of it. I stumbled across it recently at a second hand store and the title grabbed me. Maybe something to doContinue reading “Building actual relationships”
Feast or Famine
When I was running my own business it seemed work always came in peaks and valleys. Helping people get online was always my favourite part of it. Having to worry about making sure I had the next project to work on when one was finished, I hated. Not knowing when I would be paid forContinue reading “Feast or Famine”
