Weekly Geek Outs - 07/08/16

Greetings!

Back at it this week after taking last week off for my brother's wedding (which was wonderful!). Here's what is going on in my world this week:

  • Parenthood

Jenn and I finally finished this series this week. Wow, such a powerful, emotional show. I really enjoyed watching it, especially with Jenn since we reminisced about our childhoods, what we'd want to as parents together, and just shared in the joy of this modern family drama. All of the show is on Netflix, and it is a good ride with great story beats that really resonated with us. It is a well done show with a lot of stellar characters and actors. If you liked Friday Night Lights, check out this show! If you want a wholesome, heartfelt show to binge watch, check out this show!

I recently signed on to blog with the super cool folks at Check I'm Here, a great higher ed tech company that helps colleges across the country track, assess, and engage their students. My first blog post went up this week, and there will be much more goodness to come on there soon! I appreciate everyone's support there.

I found some meetup groups in Maine when I lived there to go out to, but none of them were based out of Meetup.com, so now being near two cities I knew I wanted to search for more cool groups around here. I've found some for me as well as some for me and Jenn. I look forward to meeting new people here as well as reconnecting with friends in the area. It's always rough transitioning and dealing with getting to know new people again, but I feel confident it will be okay.

Thanks for stopping by!
