Alrighty. I'm a horrible blogger. I've come to accept it. I originally set this up to blog about the new techie things I was learning and doing, but to be honest, blogging about that didn't thrill me much. The reason for my lack of writing is because everything I wanted to write about was about life in general, or little things I've been learning along the way, so I guess that's the direction I'll be taking this...


starting with this post! So, life. I've spent my summer doing an internship in San Francisco. It was the best summer of my life. I worked at a small start-up that did Agile/SCRUM by the f*cking book. It was beautiful. Seeing that kind of fast, efficient development was refreshing. I got to hone a lot of my rapid-development/working-with-a-vague-idea skills:P We also had a bunch of instruments in the basement! Much fun!


But most of the fun came after work. San Francisco has an awesome vibe, and many delicious foods! I did the tourist thing for a bit, but dropped out of that mode pretty quickly once I assembled some friends. That led to much partying, hanging out and discovering nice dives and holes-in-the-walls. I met some amazing people, saw so many amazing things (on the beautiful drive down to Monterey, when checking out marshlands, when sailing in the bay...), and had some AMAZING COFFEE at Ritual. San Fran had so much to offer me, and I took advantage of all that it gave. I fell in love with the city, and hope to go back there soon!


So now I'm back in Montreal for 2 weeks, until school starts again. I'm learning some game programming with C++/SDL, and hopefully I'll do something fruitful by the time I leave for school. I also had a facebook app side project going on, and I hope to get back to it shortly, but I think I have my fingers in way too many pies. When I get back to school, I'll be in developer mode again, looking for awesome partners to start a business or development venture with some fellow geeks, so we'll see how that goes. Now...


TO THE FUTURE! *runs away*
