New Year, New Opportunity


Yesterday officially started the new year, but my new attitude kicked in about 2.5 weeks ago, I’m ready and already on the grind for an awesome new start to a great new year.

This last year has been one of the most confusing, challenging and financially maddening for me yet. At the age of 22, i felt 30.. I’m not even going to say what it felt like a month ago. But that said, I’m looking forward to a lot of great fun and success in 2008, and i’ve taken a lot of opportunity and chance to get there. I mentioned before that, yea, I’m not dead and a lot of change was happening for me and Val. The big news is that I’m now back to fulltime freelance working as a developer/programmer and actually going to attempt to peruse my favorite hobby of photography for part-time profit where I can. I’ve been selected by about 4 stock photoraphy sites as a contributor, but haven’t even had the effort to submit a shot in the last 2 years. I really want to start using the opportunities I’m being given rather then pissing them away because “I’m too busy”.

I have good partnerships with 3 big creative firms that I’m getting a majority of my work from, and finally, I have fun & challenging work that I get to look forward to, all the time. So far just in the last month I’ve been working on two pretty nice gigs. An internet streaming TV station, and a pilot application for the new Android platform that’s getting a lot of PR by the “googlephone”. It’s a great feeling to be making some nice cash, working from home with the dog and enjoying life just that much more.

Anyhow, enough about that. I’m hoping to finally start living up to my goals of being a technology contributor to the web - in kind. Write code, give back to the community, and enjoy the level of geekdom I live by and brag about, heh. Anyone who knows me pretty much knows what I’m talking about.

I’m working on a new name for myslef, sort of a feeling for how I want to approach my new outlook on a “day job”. So hopefully I can get this little blog back up and running with something worthwhile, and finally have a site i’m proud of to show and run by as I promote photography/web and what I love doing so much. For now tho, I’m waiting for UPS to deliver my copy of Heima, and I’m off to go secure a new desk for the office.. which is finally, my new office rather then the extra room in our apartment.
