Ouranos Arrives

I took a personal day from work for this. I have a few things I have to make sure happen on Cronus (the old computer) and I have to move some things around physically in my office before I shut everything down to start doing the big transfer of stuff from old to new. But Ouranos is here. Woo!

Visitors Cause Walking

While we had visitors in town, we of course went all around to see and do various things. The end result, a quite notable spike in Sam’s Steps and Aerobic Steps charts for the time folks were in town:

As you can see, things rapidly returned to normal once it was just us again.

Hiring Software Development Engineers and More

My company is hiring for a bunch of things… Primarily Software Development Engineers but also for Technical Program Managers, Technical Managers, Web Designers… and probably lots of other stuff too. If any of my friends or readers is potentially interested and wouldn’t mind their name being thrown into the mix, toss me a resume and/or just contact information at abulsme@abulsme.com. Thanks!

Oh… what company is it? I make a habit of not naming it explicitly online, but it is a Fortune 500 company based in the Seattle area which is not Costco, Microsoft, Paccar, Weyerhaeuser, Starbucks, Nordstrom or Expeditors, and it is in the tech/retail space and is named after a geographic feature in Brazil… if you can’t figure it out with that, we don’t want to hire you anyway.

White Fluffies from the Sky?

Just as I was getting out of the car at work something white flew by my eye. Then another. Then another. Could it be? Yes, they were snowflakes. Not many. Very sparse. But more than I’ve seen all winter this time around Of course now, a few minutes later, it seems to be done. So no East Coast style blizzards for us today I don’t think…

Grandma S meets Alex

(Grandma S was very self-concious about which pictures including her were posted online, providing a list of pictures that were "OK". This picture was not on that list so I had to blur her out… so she isn’t "really" in the picture… even though it looks silly. I am being sure to make my choices of which pictures to post uninfluenced by the list she sent, not looking at the list until after I have chosen that I am going to post something, then if it isn’t on the approved list I will just crop her out if I can or blur her face out of the picture if cropping doesn’t work well.)
