Well here we are nearly one year later! It seems that Pancho and I are having larger and larger bits of time to ourselves to pursue whatever we want. Now, *larger* is relative. Sometimes it's as big as fifteen minutes! The universe is shifting or something big is happening which is contributing to a reawakening for the both of us. Or, Flipper and Thumper are just growing up and Pancho and I (Legs) are getting in touch with our non-parent selves.
Over the past two months I have been a sponge for anything cool and interesting in the tech world. I'm reading Fabricated about the prospects of 3D printing, sneaking in TED talks when I have the time, and pouring over articles discussing free expression online juxtaposed with national security and different realms of legality (i.e. should social media sites remove terrorism related content, who defines a terrorist group, should controversial content be removed at the request of a foreign government like "Daughters of India"?). Every time I start my fifteen minutes of free time I go down the rabbit hole and pop my head up at the end to shout out to Pancho (who is down in his own rabbit hole creating an ap among other cool things), "Do you know they are 3D printing body parts out of human cells? What did I do today? I didn't build a new ear, I will tell you that!"
I am also writing my book. The one I've been talking about writing for just about as long as I've been keeping journal entries about which I plan to write. But one of these days, our fifteen minutes will turn in to thirty minutes and our creative spirits will soar!
My time is about up as Flipper is yelling "OUT!!" which means his nap is over and it's time get out my referee whistle and run laps around the house breaking up fights and picking up the same things over and over again until dinner.
In summary of the last year: we are still in Vancouver, we still love it here, we do not know where we are going next, and we won't find out until the fall. Spring is here and we are enjoying the outdoors and our little family. Until next time...
