Mike’s Update 2006 V0.1

Wow as Wes so kindly pointed out it’s been quite some time since I updated my site. So a quick update here on the status of things, until I have some new photography related things to post.

As most of you probably already know over the holidays I was offered a new job at Colin’s company, much to the dismay of people at my current job I accepted this position. Hopefully it turns out to be a good decision, I think it’s a good move for me as I’ve been at this place for 3.5 years. And as such I’m starting to get a little bored there, so I’ll give the new place a try for a year or two. If it turns out I don’t enjoy it I’m sure Telvent will take me back.

As for other major happenings there hasn’t really been alot, I have been looking for a new car right now I’m looking at the Pontiac Vibe,Toyota Matrix, or VW Golf. I test drove a Vibe a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the ride, so right now I’m tilting the Matrix/Vibe direction. But who knows, when I actually go to do the purchase in a couple months that might change.

I’ve also gotten started with the very beginning of my planning for my summer vacation. The plan is just starting to coelase, but right now the general idea is to spend 2 weeks driving through the US to places to take pictures. Hitting some of the major spots:

  • Waterton
  • Yellowstone
  • Grand Canyon
  • Sequoia Park
  • Plus the Pacific Coast Highway and anything else that strikes my fancy along the way. I think it’ll be a super relaxing trip, and a nice chance to just spend some time taking pictures and hanging out.

    I’ve also been considering alot more seriously the pros and cons of getting a dog. Having the companionship at home would be nice, plus dogs are just plain cool.

    Well I’m thinking that’s enough of an update for one night. Hopefully I’ll have some photography stuff to post in the next little while. The roughnecks season opener is Friday night so I may take my camera to that to see if I can get some cool sports action shots.

    What type of dog where you thinking of getting?

    umm something relatively small cause I don’t have a big place. I really like Cocker Spaniels. But I think that if I get one I want to get it from <a href="http://www.arf.ab.ca&quot; target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ARF</a> or the <a href="http://www.calgaryhumane.com&quot; target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Humane Society</a> so that will probably limit the choices.

    A dog would be cool, of course. But I’m equally interested in the new love interest that Wes mentioned before :)

    Well like I said in my comment to Wes’, there currently isn’t a new love interest.

    And yes a dog would be intensely cool, I’ve been checking the humane society and animal rescue foundation websites a couple times a week in case a dog that catches my interest comes up. But they mostly seem to be bigger dogs and that’s not really practical for my condo.
