Semi-Disposable Swedish Furniture Life

Another busy couple of weeks. Two weeks ago, I made the transition from being an independent consultant to being a development engineer. And, of course, one transition brings another. The Toronto housing / rentals market is, well, an experience. It took me three days to find the perfect apartment, and about five minutes for another renter to sweep it up. A bit of luck and a few chance encounters, however, led me to a similar apartment; same building, better view, lower rent. Sweet. And now I find myself thinking about semi-disposable Swedish furniture and the post-student life. Do I go with the post-modern-retro look? The trim and efficient? Chesterfield? Couch? Queen-sized or double bed? Bookshelf? Kitchen table? Paintings? (Omit Tyler Durden reference.) Have I become one of those people?

Work / Work / Work

Yesterday, I was an independent consultant. Today, I am a development engineer. Work, work, work.

Distracting Website #4

Will it blend? This website may only be distracting for a few minutes, but it is distracting none the less. I very much enjoyed the home-shopping-network-esque smile at the camera while doing something utterly senseless. “This knife will cut through a shoe!” Smile. “This cell phone will cut through butter!” Keep smiling. Anyhow.

Will It Blend?

Enjoy, if only for a few minutes. More to come soon.

Pseudo? Meta? Post?

Blogs are interesting things. Their premise is simple; a place to write about one’s life / thoughts / experiences / musings / whatever. Herein lies the problem; as soon as one’s life / thoughts / musings / whatever become really good, interesting, or busy, the blog tends to be the first thing to go. The past four weeks of my life have been busy, and I must apologize for letting ROCKET SOUP fall so far behind. Highlights of the past four weeks include; work, climbing, ultimate frisbee, flying a kite, miniature golf, fireworks, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Fulltone Octafuzz, Live Free or Die Hard, scopa, and a Nikon D-80 dSLR. The next few weeks of my life show promise of being as busy as the past four, but I do hope to keep ROCKET SOUP a little more up to date. After all, blogs are interesting things. They just happen to be much more interesting when supplied with content.
