Relocation...

You know... I'm still wondering if I'm in the right area.

Don't get me wrong. Portland is an awesome place and has some great people....

But it just seems like all the cool stuff I'm into (lately, blogging and some nerdiness) is happening all in California, specifically San Francisco. So what gives? Portland's a great place. Good people, good climate, nearness to Canada, what's not to love up here? I mean come on.. VooDoo Doughnuts? Pambiche? That weird dude who's painted silver and statues himself all over downtown? Portland's got a lot going for it.

But I've yet to uncover the plethora of "new media" (ok, "blogging") jobs like there are in San Francisco. Plus you get all sorts of craziness going on down there as well. Folsom Street Fair (hey, I AM kinky after all), various companies having their meetups there (ie: Mashable Monthly), and the conflux of many different kinds of foods. It's a great combination. Not to mention the climate tends to hit right around Koekje Mom's "comfort zone." So maybe we should move?

I don't know, really. I think about it from time-to-time. It'd be nice. New place for us to be. Sort-of a "new" start for us, even though I'm still in the "new start" phase of my move to Portland, what with the move being just about 2 years old. Am I just getting wanderlust? Am I just infatuated with this idea of moving to San Fran (I know, you all hate that name) and suddenly getting hired on at some great geeky blogging firm and happily working for hours a day on writing? What gives?

I guess we'll just wait and see.

Oh yah, y'all can expect a big honkin update tomorrow. :) I plan to write more. No, scratch that. I SWEAR I will write more. Heck, you might even want to read some of it too!
