Today, for the first time in almost a decade, I am unemployed. This is a little story as a memorandum of my time with Left of the Dot, and the people who worked there. Beginnings Just over 9 years ago I joined a little company called Left of the Dot. I was introduced to the […]

I’m going to condense the second two days of the safari trip on the Masai Mara into one post. The non-safari parts weren’t super memorable or important. The food was “meh” the accommodations were “adequate,” and the safari was “amazing”. So yea, here’s a quick story from those two days.

So this is a bit of a story about the first day that we were on in the Masai Mara in Kenya, from pickup to the drive to (most importantly), the animals and photography. It is going to be more of a photos only post, but I’ll try to add a bit of context in

One of my coworkers got a new laptop last week. Friday I set it up with software, configured email, removed a ton of the pre-installed crapware that wasn’t needed, and passed it on to her. Should be all fine, all that was really needed was to install a few bits of extra software, Skype, Slack,

Being that this blog seems to be only ever used for big life events, I figure this is probably worth it. After years and years of thinking about it, talking about it, going for consultations, and saying over and over how I couldn’t afford it, I finally got laser eye surgery on Dec 22, 2014. As

I take it back. I used to say that Windows 8 wasn’t that bad, you just have to get used to it. Sure it’s a bit different, but once you start using it, you’ll start to figure out what the thinking was. I was wrong. At that time I had never “really” used Windows 8.
