I’m not going to make a New Year’s Resolution this year. Last year, for the first time, I made one. I didn’t even come close to following it through. While I exceeded my expectations in other areas, the one I had promised myself to improve on was left hanging and has pretty much diminished. And as such, I broke a New Year’s tradition this year. Instead of going over to a friend’s – who has hosted a radass New Year’s Eve party for the past 5 or 6 years, Deanna and I went and saw King Kong. We’ll ring in the new year with our daughter Hannah at the stroke of midnight while sipping on our drinks of choice – a cool Keith’s for this guy and Spumante Bambino for my lady. Sounds good to me!
It’s been quite a year. On the family front, we sorted out everything we needed to in regards to our daughter and Deanna’s ex. All the paper work is done and things are great. We received the official government document verifying Hannah’s name change on December 23, which was by far the best Christmas present we could have asked for. She’s now an official Brett! When they moved here from BC nearly 4 years ago, we all had last names. Deanna used to call us a mutt family. Hah!

DTV 0.7 crushed a pile of bugs and introduces a whole whack of new features, functionality and an awesome new user interface. It’s also sporting the newest …

I’m at the end of my second week with Participatory Culture Foundation and so far, it’s been great and I’m really enjoying the change. I made sure to come up with a schedule for myself to keep organized and on task. It really hasn’t been hard to adjust to working from home. PCF are pretty flexible with hours, and I’ve been taking advantage of the situation by swimming on my lunch break just about every day. Considering that only three weeks ago, I hadn’t been swimming in over two years – that’s quite the drastic …

Remember this? It’s been just over two weeks and every aspect of my ‘professional life’ has changed. On Wednesday, June 29 I accepted a job offer to act as Site Manager for Participatory Culture Foundation. PCF was founded by the dudes behind Downhill Battle. Between DHB and their current focus – an opensource internet tv platform, I must say, I’m pretty stoked to be a part of the team! Imagine – spending my days working on projects that I can stand behind and be proud of. Amazing!
This coming week is my last …
