Updated Resume

Click here to go to my resume page.

Like I said previously, it is time for a resume refresh. On the resume page, you can read the full page in standard web format (there mostly for SEO purposes), you can download a nicely formatted PDF version, or you can click through to my linkedin.com profile.

Am I looking to switch jobs?

Obviously, it is a big world out there and I am always listening for new opportunities. With the economic developments of the last few weeks, I can’t ignore any opportunity. However, I am happy in my current position with Sanmina-SCI and I am not actively scouring the job boards. Job security is very important to me these days, and I have not been given any reason to believe I need to be worried.

But, it never hurts to prepare and plan.

Send Annie to Space Camp

Let’s see, the first hobby site I want to highlight is a blog I set up for my daughter, Annie. She wants to go to Space Camp and frankly, $1,000 is a bit steep for me. So, I hit on the idea of using a blog to “make” the money. Annie is an experienced blogger and her knowledge of html and the GIMP open-source image program is scary for a 9-year old. She also enjoys space, and was checking out related books from the library in the first grade.

So, we set up the site (Send Me To Space Camp) and modified a plugin that facilitates donations through Paypal, as well as signed up for Scratchback so bloggers and webmasters can donate $5 and get a little ad for a period of time. Annie is writing posts a couple times a week that all have a space theme. We have a list of posts that will require her to do some research and write short profiles of things like planets and space flight pioneers, as well as some experiments we’re going to video and upload. So, she’s going to get some educational benefit from the project, and hopefully we can get the word out to enough people so she can raise the money she needs.

So, um, yeah, head on over there and donate… please?And/Or, if you’re a blogger and would rather write about it, we’d really appreciate that also. Thanks!

Checking In

Wow! Has it really been 6 months since I posted last?

Time has been moving like [insert your own colorful simile here]. Work is going very well. My family has joined me in Huntsville, and they seem to be adjusting even better than I have. I’ve a number of new hobby websites going now, mostly just for fun, and I’ll get the blogroll updated and profile a couple here. Working on a resume refresh as well - no, not looking to switch jobs at this time, but I find I “lose” accomplishments if I don’t update the resume two or three times a year. Plus, I have a few layout ideas I want to try to see if I can improve the readability and make it easier for a busy recruiter to scan.

Be back in a couple days!
