I’m still happily employed, but I’ve been strongly considering a move back towards the interactive agency side of things. If the right opportunity were to arise, I would jump at it in an instant. I am very good with clients, but am also more than happy to develop the pitch with the creatives and techies as well. I am an excellent translator between the bean-counters, creatives, and geeks, and am familiar with all three kinds of language. Ideally, I will end up either responsible for online product development or running a web project management office. If possible, I’d prefer to stay in Montreal. If anyone has a lead or advice or wants to hire me, please get in touch!
On a personal note,
it is with a great deal of happiness and, quite frankly, awe, that I note that today marks one year since the day I was married to my dear Nadia.
Spring is springing
and thoughts have turned to growing things. Last year we were just thinking about moving and stuff. Now that we’ve been in our house for almost a year, I’m going to start considering two major projects: re-doing the back yard and building some sort of garden on our upstairs balcony. Meg Hourihan posted a book recommendation yesterday that will help me with upstairs, where I want to plant herbs and maybe a few tomato plants. Any other recommendations will be greatly appreciated!
Syndication and me.
I’ve been following all the hoo-haw about RSS and Atom and such for a long time now. I have used NetNewsWire at home and Bloglines (here’s my list there: mikel’s blogs). I love that more and more services are offering syndicated content in whatever format. But I also know this: I hate reading weblogs through their feeds.
For me, the words on a website aren’t really distinct from the overall effort that has been put into the site – the design, the additional content, the links, the stupid little buttons – I love all of that stuff. Extracting the words from that is, to me, to denude the weblog owner’s work far too much, it is to remove more context than I like. I have found that I much prefer a service like Blo.gs or something that lets me know when my favourite sites have been updated so I can go and read them myself, and in the format that the writer intended.
I don’t mind if you, dear reader, prefers to read this in either RSS or Atom formats (I provide both). But me? I prefer to get the full effort a person has made, not the minimalist version that RSS provides.
Sorry, super busy,
but Happy St. Patrick’s Day anyhow! I missed the parade last Sunday for the second year in a row – this time we were in Quebec City, not Ottawa – but I’m going to minimally recognize the day by having a Guinness or two at home tonight.
