This one was actually on the list of approved pictures, so no blurring or cropping people out or anything. :-)
I skipped one picture that would have come before this one in sequence because it wasn’t on the list.
So, everything was still busy being transferred from my old computer to my new computer when the actual moment happened slightly over 13 hours ago at 7:33 UTC on March 14th (11:33 PM on the 13th Pacific, 3:33 AM on the 14th Eastern), but Alex is indeed now 6 months old. Half a year. Wow. The now semi-traditional monthly video was actually filmed a couple of days earlier on the 12th. But here it is. Happy half-year birthday Alex! For those who prefer it to the embedded version, here is a direct YouTube link.
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! 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. 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. 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…  2010 Feb 21 23:51 UTC |
