I tried to take a pic at least once a day since I shaved it off. I originally figured it was going to take about two months for my goatee to grow back, looking like it came back to almost full in under a month.
Here are some of those pics newest to oldest. ( I didn’t both linking all the photos back to flickr, click here.)

Ok, done with my blog posting for today.
So on my last day at Jaduka, I went for a bit of a shock factor.
It only comes around maybe once a year or two, but I shaved off me facial hair, meaning that I turned back the clock about 10-15 years. Though, one person did comment that it actually makes me look older, which I disagree with, as do most of the folks that have seen me in this condition.
If memory serves, then my goatee will be back in about two months.
Well, I to run and take care of some errands.

As I have been going through old digital files and what not, I found an pic of myself that was taken I think in early 2004 (or late 2003 maybe).
I uploaded it to my Flickr and have put up a slightly more recent pic, if I had spiked my hair today I would have taken a very recent shot, maybe I will do that tomorrow.
Anyways….
Me Circa 2004 (or late 2003).
Me from December 2009. (Pre Gladiator)
Anyway, I need to get back to making wireframes, only 4 more days of working here at NetIP, best get them done-zo.

I had a nice chat with my mom this morning on the way into the office. During which, she and David sung me Happy Birthday.
I made it into the office a bit earlier than usual this morning, I have a 9am conference call. As is the dogs woke me up at like 5am. No matter how you slice it, this morning was going to happen earlier than usual.
On a side note, if memory serves I was born at about 12:11am eastern time on this day so many, many years ago (31). I don’t think I was able to get to sleep until about 11:30 central, which means I was actually up for my birthday, hour and minute.
I attribute my midnight birth as to one of the reasons I have always been more of a night-owl. But who knows if that is really the case or not. I do know that because I was sick when I was born, I have the unatural power to fall asleep with the lights on (and usually the TV as well). I forget what I had exactly, but I know my mom said that they put me in a ‘box’ with bright lights, presumably lamps that would give me artificial sun light or something.
So here I am at the office, drinking my soy milk with a dash of coffee spilled into the mug. I have already had my GingerBread Squared (patent pending) toast and am listening to Sinatra belt out how he did it his way. I had the brief notion that I would like to dress up like Sinatra for Halloween. Not entirely sure I will be able to find a vintage-ish suit and more importantly a fedora that will fit me noggin.
Regardless, I will do it MY WAY!
I have been ‘penning’ a blog post a few minutes at a time over the last couple of weeks that I hope to finish today. My original intent was to do that this morning before my call. However, answering work email took longer than expected. I will see if I can get some writing in at lunch.
Birthdays are usually when I start getting all introspective and reviewing myself and what I am doing and what I want to do, I imagine that many other get this way around their birthdays. I will likely weave some more introspection into that blog post.
Well, 3 minutes until my call. I best head over to the conference room.
Back to the grind.
