What’s up… Happy Holidays… and more…
So now that I have some time to actually write something here, I am going to do just that! First, I’d like to extend everybody the warmest of wishes for this holiday season. I hope that you are spending this time with someone you are thankful to be with. Do enjoy this time, no matter what other things might be happening in the “real world.”
Second, I’d like to give a status update on what I’ve been up to. After finishing up the Fall 2008 semester at the University - and what a semester it has been! - I made a deal with myself that I will finally get to record and publish the TechNest Report podcast. And guess what? I did it! You can listen to the first audio episode here and do all the subscription goodness over on the bottom of that page. It turned out to be a good show, but there are still things I need to improve. Needless to say, now that I’m on a roll, I’ll be releasing audio episodes weekly - at the least. I am also planning - with Ariana’s help - a video version. The videocast will be a little different format - less discussion and more material that actually takes advantage of the video format. Stay tuned here for news and updates about the TechNest Report videocast.
And here is that “more” part (from the title): I had two surgeries this year: one on the shoulder, the other on the knee. The shoulder operation came after dislocating it during hockey practice with some of the Florida Panthers players. Since it was my second time dislocating it, it became much easier to dislocate it during high-intensity/stress situations on the joint. Lucky to say, I’m well-recovered from it, having gone through three months worth of physical therapy - which I enjoyed! The second operation was on the knee. It was a minor adjustment that has slipped through the cracks of the surgeon that treated me when I first broke my femur six years ago. What was I doing? Playing hockey, ofcourse! The knee operation was on Tuesday, December 23, so I’m still not feeling 100%. But after some physical therapy and much rest, it should be like new (don’t get me down by telling me otherwise)! I should be skating again within a couple of months.
In any case, here is to another healthy, happy, productive, and adventerous year! Here is to TechNest Report and to any new ventures I decide to tackle.
Cheers and happy holidays,
