reflections

Well, I finally turned thirty today. It seems an awfully long time since I celebrated my twentieth birthday, and so much has happened to me since then. So I thought to myself, what better way to commemorate such a great milestone than with the launch of a new blog?

Firstly, I’d like to thank Dean J Robinson for his Redoable Wordpress theme - which will no doubt be tweaked and hacked to within an inch of it’s life by the time I’ve finished with it!

So who am I then? My name (somewhat obviously) is Paul Enderson, and I live in a town called Harlow, which is in Essex in England. There I enjoy time with my wife Abi and my three daughters, and I love all four of them dearly. I have a supportive family on my wife’s side, and a largely mentally unstable one on mine.

I’m currently a freelance web and graphic designer, and have been since I gave up my last full-time job in September of 2006. My specialist areas are those of usability, standards-compliant coding, and stylish design.

I actively run another blog, dedicated to Windows Vista Sidebar Gadgets and their development. I also have a few other projects that are currently bubbling away on the back-burner, or still waiting to see the light of day.

Like pretty much everyone else on the planet, I have shit going on in my life that I’d rather wasn’t happening. For example, I’m currently in the middle of a very long testing process for Huntington’s Disease. Now, I only found out about a year ago that I might be at risk of this, thanks to my aforementioned lunatic relations. It sucks basically.

So, what’s going to be included in this blog? Well, I’d like to think that this will be a place where I can log what’s going on in my life, along with the things that interest and excite me. It should end up being a place for personal reflection, be interesting enough for a complete stranger to read, and offer me a way of recording memories and events that would otherwise be forgotten.

If all that sounds like it might be interesting to you, and you think you can ignore my occasional rants, then by all means stick around and I look forward to your company.
