Ok, coding nerd moment here. I have been becoming more and more involved in my spare time with the Dojo Toolkit. For me it keeps my mind in an enjoyable “problem solving” mode, which I enjoy, versus necessarily all the fun of being a senior IT manager affords itself, where I wouldn’t get near the sharp end …

2012
I have tried to make New Year’s resolutions before, but they usually come to naught. So this isn’t a news years resolution post, this is just a plan. Simon and I have been together for 12 years now and have been in a Civil Partnership for 5 years. We have plans this year to start …

Two Idiots Abroad
My boss and I recently went on trip to India. We called ourselves “Two Idiots Abroad” which was apropos we felt since we worked for Sky and Sky had the TV Show An Idiot Abroad. For any of those who have seen the series, us, in India, wasn’t far off. An American and a Scotsman dumped in …

20 Year High School Reunion
Well, the other week I attended my 20 Year High School Reunion. First was the shock and horror realising that I graduated High School over 20 years ago. Then was the realisation that I felt a compelling need to go back. It was going to be a strange, because my two closest friends when I …

Surrogacy…
While this might be a controversial topic for some, a gay couple considering surrogacy, for Simon and myself it has become a realistic proposition. This weekend we attended the Alternative Families Show 2011 in London. It was quite informative and insightful. It also was great to find out we were not alone and that there is a …

Bank White Wash
I think the recent announcement that the ICB recommends that the banks “firewall” themselves from their investment arms being received by general praise a bit shocking. Everyone running around patting themselves on the back for a recommendation that would give the banks until 2019 to semi-reorganise themselves is shocking. For an issue that came to a head in …

In Memory…
Ten years on and I still remember that day very well. I was working in Dublin, at a client site, looking down onto College Green. It happened that there were two other American’s in the office with me, my boss and a peer of mine. It was just another day. At some point, my peer …

Gastric Sleeve Update
A while ago, I wrote about my Gastric Sleeve surgery, and figured it was about time to provide an update. So 7 months on, and where am I at? While I have had a few gaps in my recording of my weight, you can see as I am approach my target of 195 lbs (88.5 …

Socialised Medicine…
As I posted before, I had an accident when I was away in Canada on holiday. As an American living in the UK, I had always been stigmatised since I was young that “socialised medicine” was a bad thing, so it was with a bit of trepidation that upon my return to the UK I …

UFC Match: Kit vs. Le Velo
Well, I held off telling anyone (except my boss at work), but I guess now is a good as time as any. I had a pretty serious bike accident when I was in Mont Tremblant on holiday. I came around a corner, came off the paved path and I think I tried to come back …
