			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I KNOW its been ages since i&#8217;ve posted and i don&#8217;t have a ton of time right now to go into the gorey details &#8211; but a LOT has been going on and it all explains why my last post was about old concert tickets i found.. Reader&#8217;s digest version is after 17 years at Apple I had another opportunity present itself that I just couldn&#8217;t resist.. So about a month ago i left the mother ship, took a few weeks break, and two weeks ago i started working at Industrial Light and Magic&#8230; I&#8217;m working in their RnD group helping look over some of their software development process&#8230; Not only is it a cool place to work with brilliant people making really cool movies but i get to work about 10 minutes drive from home with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge&#8230; I&#8217;m still feeling kind of overwhealmed &#8211; but in my favorite kind of way.. Learning a lot every day..</p>
<p>So thats the big news&#8230; Also been doing a lot around the house and trying to focus on relaxing and being a little more well rounded&#8230; Started taking Yoga classes with kevin during those weeks off and we&#8217;re still doing it ( Bikram Yoga actually )&#8230; Also are taking a meditation class once a week&#8230; We&#8217;ll see if i keep it up long term but i&#8217;m digging it right now&#8230;</p>
<p>So things are good but busy&#8230; I&#8217;ll try to post more but probably the best thing to do is watch the right hand side &#8211; thats where the twitter updates go which i update more frequently than my blog these days (short tweets are easier than long posts)&#8230;</p>
<p>more later</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This just went up to Apple&#8217;s Website today&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t be more thrilled and proud right now</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.apple.com/hotnews/">No on Prop 8</a></strong></p>
<p>October 24, 2008</p>
<p>Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8. </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again, I fell off the face of the earth for a while.. but back now.. Lots going on and rather than wait till I have time to write about it all i&#8217;m just going to post a quick hi and fill in the details as I have time&#8230;</p>
<p>But the reader&#8217;s digest version is things at home and work have been keeping me VERY busy. I&#8217;ve been a little cagey about it since its not entirely my story to tell but the long and short is Kevin found out last june or july that he had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphoma">Lymphoma</a>. Thats the bad news.. The good news is today is the <strong>very last</strong> of his radiation treatments and then, knock on wood, its all taken care of&#8230; But for the last few months he&#8217;s been going through Chemo and Radiation to deal with it and i&#8217;ve been trying my best to hold down the fort and help him out&#8230; Not going to say no big deal cuz that&#8217;d be a lie. Its just one of those things in life that ya just deal with and try not to ask why too many times &#8211; cuz there isn&#8217;t an answer&#8230; But things are going VERY well and we&#8217;re doing fine&#8230; Kevin has posted some stuff on <a href="http://www.temeridad.com/">his blog</a> if you want more dirt! <img src='http://www.swimfinssf.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>As to other things.. Well work is work&#8230; I could go into details there but its the usual Apple stuff &#8211; can&#8217;t talk about details&#8230; Suffice it to say the usual challenges continue to make me a little nuts but on a good day are a lot of fun.. The one good thing I can add is that they&#8217;ve started a bus system like Google&#8217;s to get me to work &#8211; so now I have nice buses that pick me up right in my &#8216;hood and deliver me directly to work.. pretty rockin&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh yea &#8211; and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swimfinssf/sets/72157602308963436/">the puppy</a>&#8230; Well she&#8217;s just too f-in cute for words&#8230; And she&#8217;s getting HUGE&#8230; Still a puppy though.. Cute as can be but a total handful. Training is going really well though I still don&#8217;t know why she does the things she does.. Some times she is PERFECT&#8230; sits at the corners on walks&#8230; comes when she&#8217;s called&#8230; sleeps like an angel at our feet while we&#8217;re chilling at home.. And then there are other times.. pulling at the leash.. random accidents for no reason we can see&#8230; ignoring us when she doesn&#8217;t want to obey&#8230; Just have to remind ourselves that she&#8217;s just a baby.. but we love her to death regardless&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway &#8211; bus is half way to work and I have other stuff to do.. so rather than wait a while before posting this again i&#8217;m going to post and go&#8230; I&#8217;ll post more details later&#8230;</p>
