The Snow and a New Gig

It's snowing again.

I live on top of Burnaby Mountain near SFU, so it's somewhat expected. Since xmas day, it's snowed every day up here, which is unusual. It mostly rained yesterday, so a lot of the old snow is gone. It didn't snow this much all last winter. It looks like it's starting to stick, too.

At least I don't have to be anywhere today. I'm just hanging around watching sports. Canada is beating Sweden 1-0 in the world juniors. I may watch the Pats/Giants game tonight and there's also a pay per view Canucks game too.

I start a new job on January 14th. It's a super secret startup I've been helping out with for a bit. I'm going to get to work more with EC2 -- we're using it to get off the ground. The are lots of interested things to tie together with this project and I'm really excited about officially joining the team.

I gave my notice a week before xmas. It's kind of weird, I had been there for 8 years -- most of my career. When the news broke, everyone was very supportive, which is nice.

I will be working from home -- we'll be a 'virtual office' for a while. With my luck, it'll snow every day until I start working from home.

Make Scott Sigler Come to Vancouver

My favorite podcast author, Scott Sigler, is planning a book signing tour. Of course he needs to come to Vancouver, but he's going to need some persuasion.
