The leader of the Seattle photo meetup group, Cat, organized a showing of local photographs based around the theme “Performance Anxiety” I didn’t come out with something I’m 100% happy with, but then again, I guess I never will, eh…?

Come join us all at the showing this Friday, April 1st:

Don’t miss out on our first Seattle Photography Meetup Gallery Show!

Make art a priority in your life and take a little time this Friday night to see a new collection from local photographers. It’s the first Meetup Gallery show and it’s happening Friday April 1st at the Black Box Gallery in Fremont. Bring friends, family, coworkers, and strangers to enjoy the work… all focused on the theme “Performance Anxiety!”

The show is free and open to the public. Stop by anytime between 6-10pm for some good art, good company, and cheap wine. (Donations of better wine happily accepted). RSVPing on the Meetup site isn’t required but will help us plan better for snacks and drinks.

The company I work for, Pure Networks, released Network Magic to the public this morning.

Network Magic makes management of a home network much simpler and provides a much easier way to setup Windows networking for sharing files and printers.

It shows the status of your network and all connected devices through a Network Map that is very easy to read:

Besides sharing files and printers, you can also detect wifi signal strength of any wireless device from any PC running Network Magic. You can track and defend against wireless intruders. It will also throw your computer into a “shields up” mode when you roam off your home network and protect your shares from other devices on the roamed onto network until or unless you tell it not to.

I might be a little biased, but I wouldn’t write up an entry suggesting you go download it unless I absolutely believed in it myself. It solves so many of my home networking problems; I think it can do the same for you.

Now that I’m back online after a day w/o my domain I just noticed I haven’t posted in about a month. Much has been going on, and I want to catch you up.

In no particular order:

1. We are expecting another daughter (temporarily named K2) May 29th. Kelsey is already looking forward to little sister and is starting to divide the play things up. She says goodnight to K2 in Aileen’s tummy every night!
2. We are in the process of selling our condo. Closing is coming up in the middle of April.
3. I started a full time job at Pure Networks. The company is extremely exhilirating. I’ve never worked with such a talented, dedicated group (and given some of the companies I’ve worked at, this says a lot about my current co-workers.) We’ve got a beta going for our new product Network Magic (I’ll post more on this soon…)
4. After about 3 years on the wait list, we finally got a plot at one of Seattle’s community P-Patch gardens. We have a cure little 10′x10′ plot and will be growing all manner of vegetables this year. We can’t wait!!
5. Aileen is gearing up to start her own business as I’m gearing to slow mine down.

So, we’ve been a touch busy… Sorry for the absence and look for more posts as things start to stabalize at least a little bit.

Oops….

Seems like I forgot to renew my domain name with my registrar and it was set to expire today and got switched to inactive status. As you can see I have resolved the situation and am back online.

We now return to your regularly scheduled reading…
