[ halfday ]

Thank you, Wolfram|Alpha. I guess.

Till now, my use of W|A has been mostly frivolous. But today, reflecting on the strange death of a strange man, I turned to my own mortality. And because I’m such a geek, that meant quantifying and dissecting it. Or rather, bisecting it.

I’ve been around for 37.4 years now. That’s 13660 days. Or 327,840 hours, not counting this one, which seems to be dragging on a bit. But it turns out that on September 9th of this year, at about 4:15 pm, I’ll have reached the midpoint of the american male’s average life expectance. I’d not have known this milestone was looming without having an answer engine at the ready. So cheers to that, and stay tuned for an invite to my halfday party.

Incidentally, Farrah Fawcett turned 25 the day I was born. Another morsel from W|A.

Is this thing on?

Hello World, and many thanks for stopping by the new digs. If you’ve been here before, you’ll note that I’m in the midst of some renovations, site-wise.

By way of an apology: a client recently pointed out that for a cloud evangelist I was surprisingly hard-wired… Which is to say, for all the talk, I’ve not been walking-the-walk in terms of moving my files and tools to the web. Fair enough. So I’m making a concerted effort to up my stuff and explore new methods and resources for design on the go. I’ll be blogging about the process, so perhaps that’ll be useful to someone else along the way. But I’ll also be a bit distracted behind the scenes, so your patience is appreciated.

Today the blog gets ported to WordPress tumblr. Old posts will be unavailable for a bit, but hopefully back up soon. Thanks again for the visit, and let me know if I can be of some help on your next project.
