Significant events: 3.2 and 50
August 25th marked two relatively significant events. The first was the release of MovableType 3.2, a very nice blogging platform (on which this blog runs). The second, yet far more personal was my 50th birthday.
I am calling this blog "Second Half", somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as it represents the second half of my life. Not that I expect to live to 100 years old, but more for the milestone it is with respect to various aspects of my life.
The things that currently make up my life and consume my cranium, including...
- Family, i.e., wonderful wife and son (and dogs)
- Serving as a trustee at my son's private school
- Serving as a board member in a privately held technology company in the RFID field
- Learning about web site design and related standards-based construction
- Studying the new pheonomenon known as Ruby on Rails
- Playing a lot of tennis, and this week, attending the US Open
- Staying fit so I can keep on playing like I'm 50 until I'm 80
- ...and starting this blog (and keeping it going this time)
I'll be writing about all of these things and more over the coming days, weeks and months and hope to experiment quite a bit with what this could all become.
