[Bloganuary] What's in a name?
My name is Dan. But it wasn't always. For today's Bloganuary, let's look at the history, significance, and meaning of my name (and how I've changed it over the years!).

[Bloganuary] Dream Job
I might already be doing my dream job. It's not perfect, but it more than makes up for its imperfections by allowing me to pay my mortgage. If money was no object, I'd still do my voluntary work with Three Rings... so maybe THAT'S my dream job??

[Bloganuary] Leadership

[Bloganuary] Road Trip!
When I was younger, stupider, and poorer, I'd go to amazing lengths to get to and from places without having to wrangle accommodation at the other end, leading to frankly ludicrous road trips. Here's an example.

[Bloganuary] Pizza
Would I like a snack? I certainly would. Can it be pizza, please?

Brainfart

[Bloganuary] Paws to Hear my Scents-ible Idea
Social networking plus scent analysis/synthesis provides for the possibility of... social networking for dogs. As definitely-not-seen on Dragon's Den.

Happy Birthday Matt
Matt's birthday wish is for people to blog more. So here's a blog post, which being my 14th so far this year certainly qualifies as "more"!
