Ooochie: A Ruby Developer’s Journal

So I have been tagged in "The 6th Meme" by this clown. I have been instructed to post the 6th photo on the 6th page of my flickr stream, so here it is:

This photo was taken on the last day of my Fiji trip, in the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, just outside Nadi. This pond with all the lily pads was my favorite part of the garden.

I hereby tag the following people to post their 6th photo and pass it on:

• Dan Ritzenthaler
• Stephanie Thomas
• Chris Chandler
• Jason Newlin
• Jo Eaton
• Paul Flewelling

Ready, set, go!

Last week I celebrated my twenty-fourth birthday, and my crossover into my 'mid-twenties.' Ahhhh I'm such an old fart! :) It got me to thinking about whether or not I'm happy with what I've done in the last 24 years, and I must say that overall, I'm pretty proud of myself.

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who celebrated my birthday with me and made it amazing. I must say I felt more appreciated than I have in a long time. The day was full of lovely birthday treats, just look at this stuff!!

Thanks to Heidmo&Aeree, Gist, Dan, Mom, Steph and Jenna for all the goodies, and everyone else for all the birthday wishes!!

Here's to the 25th year!

I mentioned before that I was still working on my six-word memoir. It's really hard to convey your life in only six words. After much thought, I came up with something that I think suits me pretty well. I can't explain it, because then it would be a 100-word memoir, so use your imagination. :)

"Well that was fun. What now?"

What's yours?

Yesterday was a very exciting day in my life - When I arrived home from SXSW (which I will get my stuff together and write about very soon), my very own Macbook Air was waiting for me! It is oh-so-pretty and I'm already in love with it. Check out the unwrapping here.

Yay!

A great rails guru once told me, "If you didn't blog it, it didn't happen." So I figured I better blog about this one... I went skydiving! It was awesome and I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't been. Here is part of the video they took of me jumping out an airplane at 13000ft!
