I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I’ve posted. For the last six weeks or so I’ve been consumed with a job search. I spent almost every waking hour writing emails, revising my resume, writing cover letters, investigating networking opportunities, conducting informational interviews, soliciting freelance clients… anything and everything I could think of to generate an income.

I wanted to do more, of course, than just finding a job. One of my requirements for making a living was that I would make it doing something creative. Over the past year of developing The Louverture Project and working on this blog, and getting more in touch with the areas of gadgetry and technology that I really enjoy, I got a much greater sense of what I want to be doing with my life for the next 30 or 40 years. I left a very creative career a few years ago, and now, having addressed security and safety and personal growth issues for long enough, I’m hungry to re-connect with my expressive self.

I am lucky to been offered a short-term position with the company I left a year and a half ago. The job puts me back in touch with an incredibly generous and professional group of people, and gives me the support, freedom, and flexibility to continue the long-term search for a job in creative services. It also means I can return some of my attention to my personal projects, like this blog. I’ve missed it.

Thanks to my lovely wife, Louise, for being so generous and supportive over the last couple of months. And thanks to all the people who have given me feedback, encouragement, contacts, and work. I’m not through leaning on you yet, but I’m a bit more upright.

Now, let’s get back to work…
