The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century

I’m busy racing to finish my freelance client work before my Tucows gig starts next week. Luckily, John Bristowe was at the same engagement party — it was his sister’s, after all — so he documented the event quite. I might scribble a little more about it later, but in the meantime, check out his summary of the bash.

I’d like to send a special thank-you to Jen Bascomb, who’s been boosting my ego ever since my DJ Days at Crazy Go Nuts University’s Clark Hall Pub. As big a fan as she was of my mad DJ skills, she damn near lost her mind when she found I’d taken up rock and roll accordion…

Just another plug for my friend Rannie “Photojunkie” Turingan: he certainly brings out the best in people when photographing them. Remember the photo of me that he took at Min Jing Kim’s room at the King Edward Hotel? Here are two others.

Check out Jeremy “Jeremiah Newbie” Cruz, who makes up one half of Triple Double You Dot Com:

…until I start at Tucows as their first Technical Community Development Coordinator. I’m looking forward to the challenges of both defining and doing a job that will call on a lot of my technical, commincations and people skills. I’m also looking forward to the challenge of finding just the right kind of cow-themed paraphernalia for my work area.

Come to think of it, my life is becoming pretty cow-themed: I already drink at a bar called the Bovine Sex Club. I wonder if they have any office-appropriate decorative goodies. They do have their classic T-shirt:

It’s been almost two years since I last worked for someone else, during which time this blog has grown its readership considerably. Two of my readers, it turns out, are my new boss Ross and his boss Noss (Lookin’ forward to working with you guys, fo’ shizzle mah nizzles!). It would seem that I’ve got T minus seven days to put up some kind of “opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of my employer” disclaimer, perhaps spend some time looking at blogs of non-freelance techies and some companies’ blogging policies and of course, memorize the Mantra of the Star Employee: You don’t shit where you eat.
