Hello, loyal BrainLog readers! It's been a while. Rest assured, it's because I'm busy, and indeed a lot has happened. I've finally been seeing some of those late and weekend work hours the industry is known for; we currently have a preview of things to come. Meanwhile, the company did another round of layoffs, during which we lost a valued member of our group. We had something of an earthquake recently, which has been quite problematic for buildings around where I work in Pioneer Square. I acquired a new toy which you will undoubtedly see more of later. But all of that has been rather overshadowed by the greatest, happiest, most important event of my life to date.

I am unendingly pleased to announce that Lisa and I are engaged to be married.

So, uh, please excuse me while I get around to blogging again. :)
