i met with jason smithers today at starbucks in levis commons (as referenced by the above picture, in which he appears to be oh-so-happy) to come up with a rough outline of october’s new community service at the toledo campus. i think we put some great ideas on the table, and it’ll be interesting to see what, if any of it we can pull off. if it goes like what we have planned, i think it could be an incredible service, and definitely not what people are used to.
i’m thankful for jason being in my life. we don’t spend a whole lot of time together, and i wouldn’t say we’re “great friends” or anything. but of all my coworkers, he’s probably one of the few that i feel really comfortable around and am able to just get a coffee with and hang out. i think we collaborate well together (i guess this new community in a couple weeks will be a good indicator), and generally speaking we see pretty much eye to eye. we’ve had our fair share of head-butts, but i would honestly be worried about any relationship that didn’t. disagreements are an important part of life, it’s how you handle them that are telling and character-revealing.
today i got him hooked up with a twitter account. the next six months or so of his life are going to be crazy interesting (him and his wife jess are having a baby!) and i think it’ll be fun for him and the people in his life to be able to kind of come along in the journey (virtual or otherwise) through twitter/facebook/blogs.
if you’re on twitter, i would highly recommend adding him (@theworstblogger) to your “follow” list. he’s an interesting cat who brings a whole lot of funny to this online community.
and, if you’re not on twitter yet… what’s taking you so long?

ha! I look so pensive! Josh, thanks for the kind words! And thank you as always for making me seem almost apt at technology!
Hey…I tried to take my Sony a200 into this VERY SAME STARBUCKS and they accosted me at the door and asked me to leave, I wasn’t even taking any pictures! How did you get this shot? You are stealth ninja photographer…
i know they’re not very keen on any sort of recording, still or motion being done at the store. i don’t know though, maybe just different staff? nobody said a word to me and we were goofing around with the camera quite a bit.
