Here’s a sampling of what you may have missed:

  • I started a new job in mid-June — my 8th in 3+ years at eBay! — and had a great albeit unprecedented busy summer because of it.
  • I concluded the World Series of Poker with no cashes but was happy with my play.
  • My Dad visited in July and met his granddaughter Alex for the first time!
  • I read the final Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was awesome and neatly tied up loose ends.
  • I finally started tinkering with Facebook and now am bored with it already.
  • Somehow, I went to three country music concerts over the summer. The CMAs are tonight, and I’m rooting for Taylor Swift.
  • The one year anniversary of my maternal grandmother’s passing was August 10. We all miss her.
  • Nathaniel & Joshua entered the world on September 10. Congratulations, Emily & Scott!
  • I was in Dreilinden, Germany for the third time for eBay.
  • My cousin Heejae married Eugene. Congratulations!
  • My beautiful niece Alexandra had her first birthday and we had a lovely feast in L.A.
  • I developed a mild addiction to/obsession with the novels of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child and read seven of their books in three weeks.
  • I’ve started to work out with a trainer. If you see me eating crap, please give me crap about it. :)
  • My big 4-0 is looming just around the corner!

That’s most of the important or interesting stuff. I’ll try to resume that blogging habit! :)

Does anyone else find it odd that individuals have zealously guarded their diaries and journals from prying eyes throughout time and, yet, with the phenomenon of the Internet, we now publish the events of our lives and our thoughts to the world? I tend to find blogs narcissistic, but who doesn’t have a little bit of narcissim in them? When I asked a friend/blogger why people blog, he retorted with, “Why do people write books?”

I imagine the nature of the content and the motivations differ from blogger to blogger, but no matter. With this post, Web 2.0 has officially crossed the chasm to reach this early majority member, and I’m happy to join the crowd.
