Welcome, and thanks for landing your virtual surfboard on my personal island of the interwebs!<\/p>\n
This little space has morphed over the years, but try as I might to make a simple self-promotional piece (nah!) or some other uni-directional venture, it always ends up being a crazy collection of cornucopia. Sure I’ve got just about every other trendy social presence you can shake a trackpad at (my day job), but it’s nice to maintain a malleable sand pit of your very own. Resist the cookie-cutter homogeny of major social network presences I say \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I gig, compose, and plan to teach again (all sporadically) but I feel this is on a slow upwards trajectory in my life at present. I’ve played saxophone on and off for 33 years but I began (and continue) as a multi-instrumentalist at my core. This is probably born of being:<\/p>\n
You’ll need to go elsewhere for my web development portfolio<\/a>, or my apple technology blog First World Apple Problems<\/a>, but I tend to take a more casual and macro approach to such subject matter here.<\/p>\n I’m seriously a hack when it comes to this past-time, but it’s zen-like practice of capturing a still moment (let’s call it frame fishing) is the closest I’ve come to time-travel as yet. What to do with Family photos these days? I won’t go into it here, just read an upcoming blog post of my thoughts on the matter.<\/p>\n Expect to see a representation of and conduits to our 2 greatest creative endeavours of the past few years (Ryley and Beckett).<\/p>\n Some people are fortunate somehow to not only have a clear idea what they want to do in life right out of high school, but seemingly carry a working blueprint for how they’re going to get there. \u00a0And off they sail to retirement! I on the other hand, suffer from the slippery affliction of still<\/em> wondering what I want to be when I grow up!? \u00a0So forgive me if I inflict my passionate yet fickle sensibilities on you here. I can’t promise I’ll carry the torch for something dear to you, that I’ve just as quickly moved on from. \u00a0However, if you love a life of spontaneous improvisation \u2013 come along for the ride!<\/p>\n Welcome, and thanks for landing your virtual surfboard on my personal island of the interwebs!
