So yeah, I actually am alive. :-)

I want to start by kind of apologizing to all you swaggers, my personal life has been... well it's been insane for about 2 years now, which has really prevented me from paying swag the sort of attention I'd like to give it. That insanity is not over, but... it does seem to be balancing out a little bit. So it's time to start focusing some of my attention on SWAG.

With all that said, a few quick updates for you guild members.

1.) Being a dad is totally awesome. My little girl is absolutely amazing.
2.) Looks like it's a good thing I enjoy being a dad, cause my wife is pregnant again. :-D
3.) I'm personally looking for a new job (freelancing at the moment) so a lot of stuff is up in the air. I have about 3 job offers at the moment who all seem to want me to move (Boston, Michigan and San Francisco). I'm not really wanting to move, but we'll see what happens.

OK, so to the REAL point of this message:

I want to talk to ALL OF YOU about what SWAG is today, and where it's going tomorrow. I want to have a very frank discussion about upgrading the site and what features are practical. I'd like to do it soon, and I'd like to do it across IRC (internet relay chat).

I want to get kind of a head count for this, I'm thinking perhaps we could do it this coming week some time? perhaps friday evening? (I leave for San Francisco for a week on Sunday, so... I'd prefer this happen before then)

Please reply and let's see where this goes. I'll get a channel setup and ready for us.

I'd love to chat, just need a date and time to plan for.
Congratulations on the second youngling!

I'd love to give that a go - but I suck at this technamalogical stuff...
If you want a head count, though, please know I aint going anywhere any time soon. You're stuck with me!

I feel like Han should be saying, that's one, and now where heading to the moon of Endor....

OK, so let's talk about Friday, maybe 7pm CST? I'm wondering if that makes it any amount of possible for others in vastly different time zones. I'm open to a later meeting my time (10 or 12ish) just starting here.

Let me know folks,

CST is Central, right? So it'd be 8pm Eastern and 5pm Pacific?

And who knows what for Hish! :P

I'm right there with ya on that dad thing. It's the best.
That said, you should totally come to Michigan. Fear not the Dark Peninsula. Succumb to it's siren call. We've got CHERRIES!!! huh? What d'ya say? Cherries, man! You can't beat that. Not with a hundred sticks.
Also, a recent crop of sasquatch sightings if yer not really into cherries.
