My first blog post. This should be entertaining… not!
My name is Al Mechler and I am an I.T. geek who retired
after 36 years. I spent a good portion of my career designing and building
databases and supporting database technologies. I loved drowning myself in technology. For the last 11 years of my career, I was in
management. Tune in here periodically and you’ll hear a lot about my opinions
of managers and management in general. That will
be entertaining.
I dabble in photography – mostly nature and wildlife. Some
of my favourite times are just getting away with my cameras. There is nothing
more relaxing for me than spending a day on the lake or in the bush
photographing nature. I love shooting digital because it’s instant
gratification. You don’t have to wait to get your film developed to see what
you shot and you never have the wrong ISO film in the camera.
Lastly, I am a natural cynic. I see the world through a
cynic’s eyes and no-one will ever accuse me of wearing rose coloured glasses.
My Grade 10 English teacher once told me that I was the most cynical person she
had ever met. I’m thinking of having that engraved on my headstone. I love to
laugh and there is a great big, incredibly silly world out there that provides
me with plenty of things to laugh at.
In this blog I will be sharing my thoughts and observations
as the world unfolds. I’ll also be sharing cool, funny and interesting things
that I find on the net.
And I’m always open to feedback. Enjoy.
