Look at the first post you ever wrote on Vox. What important developments or changes have occurred in your life since then?

I've taken thousands of pictures,
read over a hundred books,
written countless words I probably would never have written otherwise.

I've learned to say more,
and at times, to say less.
From pseudonymous shelter, I've opened my heart and mind to the world.

I'm a a bit older and grayer,
with new lines on my face,
yet on the inside, where it really counts, I still feel like the same young kid.

I'm hopefully a little wiser,
possibly more cynical,
and at the same time, even more hopeful, grateful, and in love with life.

I haven't been blogging much lately, as I've been working rather obsessively on a project. I love it when something I'm working on forces me to venture a bit outside of my comfort zone. Suddenly, I'm provided with the excuse and the motivation to get a better handle on a technique, learn something new, employ a technology I'm unfamiliar with, or work out a creative solution to a problem I haven't encountered before. I could certainly spend time learning and experimenting at my leisure, but there's nothing more compelling than a deadline and a real-life challenge to drive me into action. Cheers to clients and the challenges they present.
