At one of my favourite local coffee shops doing some work while waiting for one of the girls to get done dance class. Love watching the freshly roasted coffee beans cool off, the best time to be at the cafe.

Office Today
Today I was meeting with a friend I hadn’t talked to for a while to have coffee and to chat about working remotely. It’s not very often I leave the house to work so I decided I’d head down early and do some work from the cafe. It’s nice to get a change of sceneryContinue reading “Office Today”
Happy Birthday Noah: A Flash Talk
Last night I arrived home from this years Automattic Grand Meetup which was held in mountainous Whistler Village in British Columbia. The crisp air, scenery, and mouth watering food all add to the experience, but as always it’s the people that make it special. One example of this shows itself when I gave my flashContinue reading “Happy Birthday Noah: A Flash Talk”
Looking back for an alternate path
You can’t change the past and I don’t believe it does any good to dwell on what ifs, or wishing you could go back and do things differently. That doesn’t stop me from occasionally thinking about where my life might be if I had made different choices at certain points in time, and then throwingContinue reading “Looking back for an alternate path”
One Month In
It is amazing how fast this past month has gone by. I had to look back on my blog to double check to see if it had really been a full month. It was really was June 1st that I started in my role as a team lead and here we are at June 30thContinue reading “One Month In”

I would spend just about my full day there everyday without a lot of interaction from myContinue reading “A New Role”

It was an incredible couple days getting to spend more time with a group of people all passionate about providing support. The event was organized by the Support Driven community and held at Automattic Headquarters, whichContinue reading “SupConf in San Francisco”
Hermes Team Meetup
Two weeks ago our team (Hermes) at work got together in Durham North Carolina to spend time together and plan our coming months. As I’m sure most readers of my blog know, Automattic is a fully distributed company. So while we communicate all the time, it’s rare we get to spend time in person together.Continue reading “Hermes Team Meetup”
March Challenge Update
The challenge I had given myself for March was to read and become more productive. While there is still a lot of work to do and a lot of progress I can make I did come a ways. Typically I would read maybe one book a month, and this month I was able to readContinue reading “March Challenge Update”
Excited for SupConf
Yesterday I did something extremely exciting, I booked my flight and accommodations so that I can attend SupConf! Previously I’ve written about choosing support as a career, and about how we can make support cool. The community behind SupConf, Support Driven, and the conference itself is a great way to help accomplish this. If youContinue reading “Excited for SupConf”
