Hello precious blog readers, To start things off, I'd like to apologise for not blogging more consistently. And yes, that is how the Aussies spell apologise. Writing is hard and takes time. With soccer season over now, blog about that coming soon, we should have a bit more time to actually make some more content. Enough housekeeping, lets talk about our vacation to Hawaii! Most every year around labor day, a few of my Michigan State computer science friends get together for a reunion. Usually, we visit a city where someone from the group has moved to. It's been a great tradition that has taken us to some awesome cities around the USA. This year, with Allison and I in Oz, we convinced a few the of CSE goons to meet us halfway in Hawaii.

The purchase of our moped has increased our mobility, but Ferg has been the only one with the license to ride/drive it. I would sit pillion but was not allowed to operate the vehicle on my own. I ended up taking my learner's course in order to get my motorcycle license and ride/drive by myself.

Hello people, I got a new job.  So long are the days of MilkRun and riding my bike in the rain. It was good while it lasted but it was time for a change. I first started looking for a job back in March and was doing interviews several days a week. After several rounds of technical and behavioral interviews, I was able to land a job! Let me tell you about it.                                    Zoomin' to the office for my first day The company I work for is Aginic . They are a "... diverse crew of creative data analysts, data scientists, designers, engineers, delivery coaches, and cloud technicians that love to combine our technical skills to solve problems". There are only around 100 people spread out between the headquarters in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Everyone I have worked with thus far has been incredibly nice. They are a technical consulting company so the work is done on a p...
