i’ve been told my a number of people that they look for new updates; that they want to know what’s going on in my life. this is a quick rundown on the major events in my life over the past few months and some general info.

i’m divorced. my wife of 8 years and 2 children have relocated to idaho falls, idaho. the divorce settlement was done through mediation and was mostly civil, despite how tough it was. i plan on traveling to see them often until we can be in the same geographical location, again. yes, i miss my kids.

i’ve moved to mountain view, ca. i found a very reasonable 1 bedroom apartment in downtown mountain view. i’m a handful of blocks from 10-15 pretty good restaurants and coffee shops. i have a (supposedly) good sushi place and a middle eastern market at the end of my street. my apartment is still filled with boxes and i’ve lost the initial motivation to get everything unpacked.

i’m still working at microsoft in hotmail operations. i still like my job.

i’ve reconnected with a bunch of friends. i’m making an effort to keep in touch with people. i’ve always been particularly bad at corresponding/replying to email etc., but i’ve realized that it’s something i’m capable of and something that i want to do. if you’re reading this and we haven’t talked in awhile, say hi. my email address is my first name @ my last name . org (avoiding the insipid spam crawlers).

i’ll try to post more frequently and more personally, from here on out.
