Squamish makes Me Sad

Few things make me feel as sad and frustrated as driving through Squamish.  The Chief there in it’s glory, and if you look at the right place at the right time seeing it dotted with tiny climbers.  Remembering what it was like to come up here every single weekend.  Young, bronzed, able to take on

Saying Goodbye to my Drobo

Today, after many long years of faithful service, I decommissioned my Drobo and removed it from my workflow. The company is disappearing and it’s not working properly with the latest macOS. It sucks, because this was something that, when it first was announced, was unbelievably cool, but it seems like its time is over now.

New Job, new Tech

One of the things with my new job is that I’m getting exposed to a lot of new tech that’s pretty interesting. I’m also finding that not doing a huge amount of new tech stuff for the last 10 years or so has gotten me really behind in terms of what is out there. Some

Malls & Pool In Nairobi

Today was a relaxing / resetting day. I woke up at 3am and was perfectly awake. My body currently has no idea what day, time, or week it is. I’m hoping to take my boss’s philosophy of simply telling your body that it’s whatever time it is where you are, but I’m not sure. I

Day 1 – Vancouver To London

Day one of my Vacation to Kenya consisted of nothing but travel. We had some fun with our flights being changed out from under us, but other than that, uneventful. Planes these days even have power and USB chargers, so it was nice to not have to worry about running out of juice for phones,
