Looking for my resume?
Bluemuppet.com died a horrible death – it’s web host got bought out, the new company lost it, and my laptop with its backup got stolen in the same week. But, I had to make an internet comeback sometime, this time it is called shanetomlinson.com.
Yeah, I am Shane, currently living in Mountain View, California, a long trip to get here on the long road via a year and some in London, a 2 year stop in Buenos Aires, a 10 consecutive winter layover in Lake Tahoe, California, some short stays in Washington DC, a lot of time living in the back of vans, out of backpacks, on friend’s (old and new) couches (old and new), in hostels, on snowboards, looking at mountains and canyons, in clubs dancing until past dawn, on bicycles, learning Spanish, and in front of a computer.
Right now living in Mountain View, away from what I now call home of London, where my perfect wife Charlotte is – away to the USA for three months doing software development for a Mozilla in their Open Web Apps group of the Labs division. I am a few weeks in now, feeling a bit over my head, but the feeling around here is incredible – the raw energy, talent, and passion is something that is pure joy to be a part of. Before this, I was at startup company called Fitmo which was a really incredible job, I was with them for about a year and a half until new opportunities beckoned.
So now in Silicon Valley for a few months until I get back to London. Living here sometimes feels a bit like the Twilight Zone, but I am really enjoying it. But, honestly, I am ready to go back to London and be with my wife, and where my life now is. Strange saying that, but London is now home, I have found a place there, I finally feel integrated, part of society, comfortable in myself and my surroundings.
Charlotte is the reason why my life is going as well as it is, she is my moral and spiritual support, and makes me happy. Charlotte puts up with me through my bad moods, supports me when I am feeling less than confident, and is there to share when I feel like shouting out to the world how great a place our planet is.
So hopefully, soon enough, I’ll be able to write something, get back into the habit, back into form. I don’t actually expect anybody to read anything, I doubt I’ll have all the picture galleries up again (that’s what Facebook is for, isn’t it?), more like random bits, about the city, about traveling, about living, about programming and learning.
