About Me

I'm a technical consultant living and working in Chicago. When I'm not at my full time job or seeking contract work on the side, I'm usually spending time local coffee shops, neighborhood bars, or traveling out to the burbs to visit friends and family.

    CTA-Trekker

    In an effort to stop neglecting my blog, I've decided to start blogging whenever I'm on any CTA (chicago transit authority) vehicle.  Since <a href="www.squarespace.com">SquareSpace</a> (my hosting platform) has a great, free <a href='http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/squarespace/id318590874?mt=8'>iPhone app</a>, I can post entries directly from my phone.  I've used it to post a couple of short entries with photos, and it works pretty well.  We'll see how well things go with longer entries.  But beyond making sure I get my money's worth on my monthly hosting bill, I really want it to be therapeutic.  Doing short to medium sized posts on a daily basis will help get my mind off work for a bit while making my rush hour commute a bit more tolerable.  It also allows me to carve out some 'me time' everyday, which is something that tends to wan as work gets busier.
