Since the last time I posted, I’ve lost a job, done some contract work, been hired twice (was working 80 hours a week at one point.) Better that than unemployed, though, right?

Last fall, after the Ann Arbor News closed, my wife and I took a personal finance class taught (virtually through DVD) by Dave Ramsey. So we are doing out best to get out of debt (almost there, btw!) and set ourselves up for better things in the future (like a good strong emergency fund.)

I am now employed by a local web design firm, and am really enjoying my work now. It is nice to be doing something that is both interesting and challenging while getting paid for it.

On the school front, I am taking an SEO and Analytics class from Washtenaw Community College’s INP program. It is both something I am interested in and is applicable to my work.
