A new place to blog

My husband was recently approached by a tech site wanting him to blog for them. I was happy for him, and gave him some insight on his drafts, helping him polish them up a bit before he submitted. I was also willing to be a sounding board when he decided to write an article about how to get one's significant other involved in the "geek" life.

His editor read the article and loved it. He also liked the ideas I had given to my husband. He then read some of the responses I had sent in to other bloggers on their site, and asked me if I would also be willing to blog for them.

So, if you are looking for some of my more techy/geeky blogs, they will be appearing in Geekend at TechRepublic.com. That doesn't mean I won't still blog here; I will. But I will also blog for them.

If you are wondering what else is new in my life, I have finally graduated with my BSIT. It took long enough, thank you, but I am glad to have it. I haven't decided whether to hang it on the wall or leave it in the padded leatherette folder.

I have also begun the process to start my own non-profit program here in Virginia. If it floats, this program will offer training to people with mental illness so that they can do techy things for other programs run by people with mental illness. There are more of us out there than you know.

I have also recently purchased a gerbil and a hamster. I am awaiting the purchase of a second gerbil in the next few weeks. You may view my pets on my personal website.

I am also still working on my web development company. I have picked up a few new customers, while retaining most of my old ones (I dropped one that wouldn't pay). I still don't have enough clients to quit my day job, but it is fun nonetheless.

I guess that is mostly all. Catch you on the flip side.
