So, on the off-chance that you read this blog, but don’t talk to me on the regular, here’s a quick update on the life of Paul: I’ve accepted a position with the rockin’ guys over at Gorilla Nation as their new Front End Web Developer.

They’re a very cool, and I really appreciate the chance to sink my teeth into more of the Front-End web work these days. Also, they’re in Los Angeles.

The next big bit of news is that I’ll be moving in with my LadyFriend™, the lovely miss Becky, by the end of the year, to parts unknown in the west side of LA.

So, if you happen to know a web developer looking for work, there’s a definite opening over at On the Edge, and if you happen to know any cool apartment complexes in west LA, give me a yell!

So, Becky’s TV show is about to go into production, so with the 4th of July up, we decided to take a trip out to Carmel-by-the-sea. Yes, that’s the town’s real name, and Google has made a habit of correcting me when I shorten it to “Carmel, CA”.

If you’re not in “the know”, Carmel is this gorgeous (and very shi-shi) little seaside village, just outside of Monterey, which is itself right across the bay from Santa Cruz. So, now that you’ve got that little bit of mental geography tucked away, the trip.

Carmel, is absolutely beautiful, and if you’re not careful, you could easily mistake it for any town in Italy or France, with cute little restaurants, galleries, and coffee shops. The town itself is tiny, and you can walk tho whole thing is a few hours. We stayed well-fed on pizza and pastries, downed in coffee, and did a wee bit of shopping (I picked up one of these things, and I absolutely love it), and when we got bored, we stopped by Monterey, to check out the aquarium there. 

Good times all around, and you can check out the photos on Flickr!
