Side note:
I’ve updated my resume (subject to ongoing change) and am still looking for work, more so now as my personal circumstances have changed. While I would prefer to remain within commuting distance of Middleboro, Massachusetts, I am slightly more open to sufficiently lucrative and interesting possibilities out of my area, as well as remaining open to some degree of working from home.

The resume doesn’t reflect Carnival of the Capitalists or blogging to speak of, but if you are seeing this, you have awareness of and might not be put off by that, or by the associated skills and experience being another path I could be presuaded along.

Here’s the PDF version.
Here’s the MS Word version.
