			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here I am, you know, updating my blog for the first time this year.  Fortunately it&#8217;s only June so it&#8217;s only a tad late.  The one line summary is that life is great and I&#8217;m married.</p>
<p>More details:<br />
<span id="more-270"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>I somehow managed to get hitched to the most beautiful woman in the world.  I&#8217;m still a tad dazed at my luck, but my plan is to enjoy the fact indefinitely.  We&#8217;re collecting a list of pictures folks took <a href="http://christyandchris.org/">on our wedding website</a>.</li>
<li>Christy had an art show recently which went <em>fabulously</em> except that she sold a bunch of her work before we managed to snap any good photographs.  It was an amazing show, and, I suspect, the first of many.  Very exciting.</li>
<li>We&#8217;re planning a honeymoon to Machu Picchu.  Have any advice?  We&#8217;d love to hear it.</li>
<li>Given that my job involves thinking about student and staff access to online University resources, it&#8217;s really time for me to get back into the online world.  About a year ago I stopped checking several of my email accounts, stopped logging in to FaceBook, LinkedIn, stopped attending various organizations, etc.  My work load hit about 80 hours/week (some weeks less, some weeks a chunk more) so I walked away from a lot of things.  Not a particularly well mannered way of organizing my life, but it&#8217;s what I did.  This weekend I&#8217;ve started slowly picking those pieces up once more and trying to re-integrate various digital networks into my busy-but-thankfully-not-<em>that</em>-busy life.  I&#8217;m still gearing myself up to take on FaceBook.</li>
<li>New tools I&#8217;m using:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.digsby.com/">Digsby</a> is looking like a really lovely way to push a wide array of digital clutter into a more central feed.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.mypunchbowl.com/">MyPunchBowl</a> is a competitor to e-vite and it&#8217;s about a million times nicer.  I&#8217;m using it to organize the Bourbon Shootout and it has features like a Potluck list (what goes better with a bourbon tasting than a potluck, after all?) that I like.  I do miss evite&#8217;s mix of reservations and response messages all on the same page, though.  The Guest Management (a title I cackle at every time I see) screen is ok, but a little to pared down for my tastes (very web 2.0).  Anyhow, I&#8217;m still on the fence as to whether it&#8217;s too much or not, but it&#8217;s lovely to see an alternative.</li>
<li>I just installed, <a href="http://www.joedolson.com/articles/wp-to-twitter/">wp-to-twitter</a> so this post will be the first test of the blog being syndicated on Twitter.  Coincidentally, this will be my first twitter post.  I signed up for twitter due to a lot of factors, but mainly I&#8217;m going to blame <a href="http://tavernwench.blogspot.com/">Tavern Wench</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I&#8217;m totally looking forward to The Bourbon Shootout.  Details will follow.</li>
<li>Also seeking things like a new digital camera, a website for Christy to put her art on, any bright ideas about how to present University resources to prospective, current and future students in a way they&#8217;d be interested in (we have a couple of exciting projects underway), new hikes to take in San Diego, etc.</li>
</ol>
<p>So, how&#8217;s life with you?</p>
