Lots of things going on. Little things, big things. There is a bag of "stuff" filled with these "things" and I will describe them here as I randomly pull each out:

After five years, I quit my full-time. A week ago was my last day. It was an amazing place with some of the most intelligent, open-minded, creative and hard-working people I have ever known, and it has been a tremendous ride from start-up days to corporation. There has been too much pulling me in other directions, and they've all come together with a loud bang, and I have to start this new chapter, so it is a bittersweet departure, but a departure nonetheless. Technically, my services will remain available (in a limited fashion) to close out a big project, but no more driving to Santa Barbara! Holy moly...

To celebrate, Nick, Jamie, Danny, Tanya and I headed out to Kober Port in Long Beach. We hoisted something, battoned down some stuff, and set sail (via motor) around the harbor. The adventures were plenty: sea lion dances, fishing lines-snagged on boat incidents, chips and salsa, beer, near-misses with the Queen Mary, red water (?), pirate-sightings and dog-captains. It was awesome, it was fun, and best of all it was relaxing. Here are the pictures.

After that, we headed back to the Nucleus to catch the Edwin Ushiro Gallery Exhibition. His artwork was truly awesome, especially displayed all together in that setting... and he's a swell dude! Definitely good stuff, I would only expect amazing things from Edwin's future.

Then, it was catching the tail-end of Khang's birthday, which included watching our very own White Lightning take it all in the end during some high-stakes poker, and a couple games of Settlers (simultaneous!). The next night was a Patagonia party at our place for a couple of Jamie's coworkers who were leaving town - this of course involved the Wii as a popular attraction.

My plate is already full and I feel like I was unemployed for about 1 day. And that day was Saturday, so I guess that doesn't really count. I have a few big projects at the moment, and I'll get to them in a post this week. Tomorrow I'm heading out to Miami for some cousin-wedding festivities (can't wait to see them!), and I'll be back on Sunday. Going with the flow...
