Working hard and working smart

Well i've been working pretty hard on a variety of web sites and maps. Chiefly on www.mapofsaltspring.com, www.mapofpender.com, www.roperresources.com and the Ptarmigan Music Society Website

While the map of Salt Spring Island that I created sold out for advertising in 3 days of marketing in the spring of 2009, Pender followed suit after about 2 months. Both are number 1 in search engines for the search terms, Saltspring Map, and Pender Map respectively. Chris Roper of Roper Resources is quite happy with his new web site and it's showing up very well in the search engines already; making the top 10 in google for key words such as "saab seaeye" and "AUV 62", two of his main underwater robotics products.

Soon Kathryn and I will be heading up to desolation sound on our sailboat, The SV Mystic and i'm looking forward to that!

It's been a great summer:-) Hope yours has been too!

Ok..i'm back and much is afoot. Lot's of travelling this summer as I checked out some of the other gulf islands. Salt Spring, Texada, Galiano, Pender, Saturna, Mayne, the San Juans, and Vancouver Islands were included in this series of road trips.

Would have been nice to do it by boat but i'm not quite there yet...only $20000 short though;-)

I've decided to get a sailboat and sail up to the Queen Charlotte Islands and then down to South America and then out to the South Pacific. Maybe stop at Easter Island on the way and say hey to my big stone buddies out there.

Much photography this summer and for a look at that go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/ultrabluelake

I've got a photo and sculpture exhibit coming up and i'm finally going to make the lamp that i was going to make like 10 years ago. It's a good idea but i can't say what it is yet. 

It would be nice to have a partner in the sailing trip but i've not met a woman yet that i could live with on a boat and not go completely mad;-)

I'm good with a bit of solitute however. I like solitute. Not a hermit and can be very social also but i think i would be alright on my own on a boat for a while.

Blogging again

Soooo..i'm back to this blogging thing. Normally just use flickr to post photos and the occaisional poem.

Now...the map of salt spring that i made is doing very well. You can see it at http://www.mapofsaltspring.com

Sotheby's just ordered a custom version so that's good and i got a new web site contract for a local DJ so that's good!

I'm well on my way now to earning that sailboat so that's all good too!

Here are a few of my recent photos also.
