A Blog Still Breathing

August 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Last BreathOkay, I’ve been awful on the blogging front.  So bad that I doubt anybody is actually reading this.  But if you are, let me sing a familiar apology, give you a quick update on what’s been going on, and assure you that things are going to get better on the blogging front (if you still even care).

Since my last blog (July 18th to be exact), I’ve generally been having a good time.  I managed to finish off a great project around a new casino in Singapore and get some great travel in before C kicked off her Ph.D. program on Monday. There was diving in the Philippines, trekking in Lombok, time with friends in a gorgeous house in the Gilli Islands and a last minute weekend in Thailand to help a friend develop an interesting little company while sitting on the beach, drinking whiskey and rock climbing (not all at the same time).  On the work front, I finished the casino project, kicked off another project for an existing casino in Macau and reveled in the feeling of having made the world a better place.  The casino work paired with a retainer and an exciting new government project that includes lots of Asia travel all mean that the next few months are going to be interesting, well-traveled and (most importantly given the economic climate) billable.  We’ll see where this all leads.

As for the blog, I think the reason I haven’t been blogging is that this blog became far too much about me and (frankly) I don’t find myself all that interesting.  So from here on in, this blog is going to be more about the interesting people, places, patterns and happenings I see around me.  With a bit of luck, that will be the kind of thing that keeps all of us entertained enough not to switch this blog off altogether.
