Hello, Salut, Dia dhuit, Hallo, Ciao!

Before I start to introduce the purpose of this blog, I feel I must introduce myself. My name is Amy. I hail from Belfast, Northern Ireland but currently reside in Boston, Massachusetts with my gorgeous husband, Alex, and adorable cat, Gillian Anderson.

Note to any potential pet owners – naming your pet after a celebrity is probably not as adorable as you think it will be. At this point we’re in too deep though. She’s somewhat of a celebrity at the vet; the receptionist squees every time I tell her we are coming in. At home, she just  goes by plain ol’ “Puss” these days. Anyway…I digress.

I enjoy tea, traveling, breakfast, Formula 1, and Dr Who. I’m still trying to find my creative flow and attempting to get crafty. I am fortunate enough to work for a great company where every day varies: I write documentation; I write code; I test our products; I immerse myself in technologies and APIs, learning about them in such a way that I can explain them simply to someone else. I am a firm believer in learning something new every day.

I want to use this blog to share my thoughts and experiences on life, programming, Apple’s new and shiny gadget, awesome breakfast recipes, and everything in between! I hope that – on some level – I can use it to help you, the reader, to learn something new every day.
