I love my job. I'm lead programmer for Action-Ed, and I spend me time working on Civic Mirror, an videogame that is so much more than a videogame: A simulation in which high school classes become countries and have to work out their constitution, laws, political parties and elections all while providing for their families and wheeling and dealing in their country's economy.
Since Ellison's birth, I've only managed to blog once. This is representative of my reflections on life generally, or rather the lack thereof: I've spent most of the last year and a bit drinking from the most marvelous firehose of opportunity and experience I've ever encountered.

On the Sunday evening, just as we were wrapping up the work portion of the weekend, I found myself feeling a little off so went to bed early. Even as I went, my legs were beginning to shake, but by the time I was lying down, my whole body was shaking, and I was alternating between being frozen through to overheating.
