I've also been infrequent poster on here, but for now I'm moving over to Google Plus and Facebook for my life updates. It's nothing about the interface or companies - if anything I prefer LiveJournal. However, there are a lot more of my family and non-online friends on Google Plus and Facebook, and the main point of life updates is contact with ( Read more... )

Today I signed my agreement to work for CK-12, a small software company that makes software for customizable textbooks for K-12 education.

I watched the recent Captain America film with my son and nephew while on vacation - which touches on an old post I did on Films adapted from comics. It does fit some of the formula I disliked, the revisited origin story that puts the hero in the real world. However, there were some differences.

Milo and I have arrived in Korea now. Our first night we basically just collapsed into a hotel highly jetlagged from our trip. The next morning we flew down to Jejudo.

This is exciting for me in part because I spent a while researching Jeju for my role-playing campaign, Dragons of the Yellow Sea. So I'm full of details to pass on to Milo. He ( Read more... )

I finished up with my first year of teaching last week. I've been teaching Chemistry and Integrated Science at South San Francisco High School since November. I'm reasonably satisfied with how my first year of teaching went. I could have done a lot of things a lot better, but I give myself some credit that the first year is always rough ( Read more... )
