It’s been a while…almost a month…so I thought I do a quick update (in chronological order):

• My wife and I bought our plane tickets for our two week excursion to Europe this summer!

• My wife started a “personal blog”:http://markandshevawn.blogspot.com for us! This is great because 1) it gives me a appropriate space to post my “personal” stuff (like the Europe trip thing) and 2) she did it all my herself! I’m a proud nerd!

• I joined “The Garland Group”:http://www.thegarlandgroup.net as a full-time employee. We do IT audits and risk assessments in the wonderful world of banking. Most of my work will be centered around building software to make this process easier, more efficient, and more collobrative.

• I finally made it to a “Dallas.rb”:http://dallasrb.stikipad.com/wiki/ meeting (after showing up a whole day early) and a “Refresh Dallas”:http://www.refreshdallas.org/ meeting. I really enjoyed both and hope to make my attendance more regular.

So there’s the update. And now an announcement. I plan on moving this blog in a more development centered direction as a way to share the experiences I’m having at work and in code. So don’t be surprised to see a lot rails and javascripts posts. You have been warned :)
