The Tens

A decade ago I wrote up a short recap of some major events that’d happened to me over the previous ten years. Let’s do it again!

Some notable things that’ve happened to me since January 1, 2010:

• Amazingly, didn’t have any more kids (went a wee bit overboard in the previous decade)
  
  
• Left Ning for a job at Moonfrye
  
  

• Left Moonfrye (which had by then become Seedling) for a job at Camera IQ
  
  

• Left Camera IQ for a job at Ring
  
  

• Left Ring for a job at PiñataFarms
  
  

• Proudly watched my wife go back to (and thrive at) teaching
  
  

• Said goodbye to our first family dog, then went out and got the one owned by Charlotte from Sex and the City
  
  

• Became a battle-hardened veteran of the parental controls/gaming device setup wars
  
  

• Started really caring about politics
  
  

• Became much more open about my faith (and the ongoing struggles I’ve had over the past several years)
  
  

• Watched my music and movie collection turn from files on a hard drive to files on various cloud services
  
  

• Stopped drinking entirely
  
  

• Rediscovered my love of journalism
  
  

• Took some big steps in my longtime mental health journey (perhaps a topic I’ll address more publicly over the next ten years)
  
  

• Watched wearables become a real thing
  
  

• Reached the point where my absolute lack of interest in social events can be partially blamed on just being an old man (at last!)
