update
Hi, I’m been kind of quiet on here for a while. Sorry about that. The last year+ went by like a blur and I now feel like I’m back to “normal”, whatever that means these days. In short, I burnt out a bit during the past year working on an area I cared deeply about (UI), then received an offer to work with some amazing people doing something an area I had previously (apparently erroneously) concluded would not become reachable in my lifetime. In the grand scheme of things, though, none of that really matters. This is because of the person whose love kept be sane through all of this. It was about this time last year I began the search for the ring I eventually would discover and later propose to the woman of my dreams on a night during Memorial day weekend while overlooking the Pacific ocean from the shores of Playa del Rey. Pokee is the most amazing person I have ever met, and I can not imagine my life without her. No amount of praise could adequately represent how much I love her, but that should not be an excuse to at least try. To Pokee: I love you so very, very much. To everyone else: I am indeed still alive, and will try to use this thing a bit more regularly going forward. Cheers, -b
