keith’s new self

Here’s some exciting news - Krista and I got married in Yelapa, Mexico on January 11th. It was a beautiful ceremony - just us and a couple friends on the beach. Our friend and teacher Scott Robinson lead the ceremony. We had a dress, rings and cake made by wonderful people we met down there - thank you! It was a profound and moving experience, beautiful in its simplicity.

blogging from puerto vallarta airport. just experienced the classic baggage loss scenario. our checked bags are somewhere out there in the world, and we have to navigate the inscrutable, labyrinthine world of international air travel and telecommunications to find them. fun. also we somehow managed to get in to the country without going through immigration. we actually had to track down the immigration guy to get our tourist visas. mexico is hilarious. oh well, hopefully our baggage joins us soon. i’m making a beeline for the beach.

oh yeah - free wireless in airports rules. for some reason it feels comforting right now.

Even though I haven’t written anything in a while, it feels like quite a lot has happened.

I quit my job at Sxip, and I am now working from home for a web development shop in San Francisco called Projectzero, with the end-goal of building open-source grants management software called Solpath. So far I am really loving it.

Pretty good healthwise - definitely still in recovery. Eating a raw food diet for the most part. Been meditating more and cleaning a lot (!).

Enjoyed many holiday festivities in the Homeland (Langley, BC). Krista and I spent Christmas Day in Tofino at the yummy Wickanninish.

Had a wicked good New Years Eve with brother Gary at my old pal Matt’s new penthouse.

My good friend Dustin quit his job at BOBJ and became a Buddhist forest monk. Go Dustin!!!

I bought a shiny new black MacBook laptop.

Today I made fire starters with Ryan using an old recipe I learned in boy scouts (dryer lint, cardboard egg carton, candle wax), which make lighting fires in Ecovillage stoves oh so easy.

Tomorrow I leave for Mexico (Yelapa and Mar de Jade, near Puerto Vaillarta) for a meditation retreat. Bueno!

In other news, I’d like to give this blog a bit of an update. It needs a new name, a new theme, and I think it would like to become a bliki (think: blog + wiki). Also I think I’d like to merge it with my geek blog, and let the chips fall where they may. It feels a bit weird to have a hidden geeky blog - like I’m living two lives. Non-geeks will just have to filter out the geeky posts. Or maybe I’ll make a geek filter of some kind. Whatever inspires me to write!

That’s it for now. Hasta luego, amigos!
