Joe’s Blog!

I am still alive and still maintain the blog but haven’t had time to post recently. Lots of cool stuff brewing at Cloudant. Follow me on Twitter for more immediate updates. In the mean time keep following me here and hopefully I’ll have some blog inspiration soon.

This is a photo of me back in the day, I don’t know if I posted here or not before but it’s good regardless.

By the way my cousin looks bored.

Haven’t had much time to post anything lately. I have been busy working on projects for work. While you’re here checkout some interesting reads from this week:

• Ruby Algorithms: Sorting, Trie & Heaps
• Phinney wins pursuit gold at worlds
• Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth?
• Ubuntu 9.04 Beta Released

Also, photos from my wedding recently got posted to flickr if you are into that sorta thing.

I am happy to say after a short hiatus I am working and riding my bike again. I was recently hired on as a contractor at Cloudant and just finished my first week of work. Also I have been riding and working out. It feels good to be outdoors and loosing some of the weight I gained getting ready for the wedding and the move. For the bike nerds out there I figured I would post a photo for my rig. Also regarding bike stuff, I finally broke down and installed a brake on my fixie. There are some stupid steep hills here in Seattle and happen to like my knees and life thank you very much. Anywho, things are good here, Erin, the cats and I are doing well.

While you are out playing on the internets go check out Dan Bischoff’s photos from his volunteer work in Rwanda and photo’s from Mike Lanyon and Erin Smith’s trip to Egypt and Israel (you might have met them at the wedding).

With moving into the new apartment it was inevitable that Motorboat would find a new place that was his. In the past he has claimed the bathroom as his domain, the new bathroom does not seem to be of his liking although he still likes toilet water. The first few days we heard a knocking from the kitchen but wasn’t sure what it was. Soon enough we found Motorboat was the cause, entering and exiting the same cabinet before and after naps. He has officially claimed a bottom cabinet of his own. Rather than fight it I put some towels in there for him and knock before entering.
