Whats new with me? Everything!

Hello Friends-- It has been a very long time since I wrote anything in the blog. I think it is time to provide my friends and family a little update.

First and foremost I have a new job. It allows me to work from home and travel. I get to spend a lot of time with my wife and children. It is wonderful. I am now a full time salesforce.com consultant. I work for a company based in chicago. I am working with one of their clients that is a VERY HUGE software company based in Palo Alto. It is a great job and I love it!

This also means that I left LANDesk. I truly loved that job. I had many great friends and that job will be missed.

It was also time for a BLOG update. I changed the layout so that I could have some pics of the kids up there. They are such a huge part of my life and I wanted to share some of there awesome new pictures with you all.

That is all for now--Toph.

My wife – Blogger Theme Designer

I couldn't be prouder of my wife, Melisa

She used to get her styling for her blog from some website. Well that website got shut down for using patterns they shouldn't. Then one day all of the themes went away. Discouraged, Melisa decided to make her own. With very little coaching from me (mostly direction to some tools), she is now making her own themes

Using a combination of some patterns she found, Picnik.com (for image editing) and box.net (for file storage), she got this all working.

who knows, maybe some bribery will get you your own theme made.

Nice work Melisa! You are making you Nerd Husband very proud

My Personality Type

Melisa found a website and gave me a personality test. Here are the results:

You Are An ISFP

The Artist

You are a gifted artist or musician (though your talents may be dormant right now).
You enjoy spending your free time in nature, and you are good with animals and children.
Simply put, you enjoy beauty in all its forms and live for the simple pleasures in life.
Gentle, sensitive, and compassionate - you are good at recognizing people's unspoken needs.

In love, you are quiet and sweet yet very passionate. You love easily.
You have an underlying love for all living things, and it's easy for you to accept someone into your heart.

At work, you do best in an unconventional position. You express yourself well and can work with almost anyone.
You would make a good veterinarian, pediatrician, or composer.

How you see yourself: Sympathetic, kind, and communicative

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Incompetent, insecure, and overly sensitive

What's Your Personality Type?

seems pretty close to me (maybe?)

Posting on my Blog should finally work

Since i am a nerd (aka Geek Dad) I pretty much insist on using wordpress for this blog. It allows me a great amount of flexibiltiy.

Example: click on this picture: I think that is pretty cool...

Well as a result of this overall nurdery, wordpress makes me approve every single comment. So people have posted things and do not immediately see them. This is fixed now.

Don't believe me? comment on this post. I think it does something pretty cool.
