I am Ezra Freelove<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girl dad. Solutions architect. SRE, integrations, automation. Geek. Learning from incidents. Love randomness. Amateur griot. Information omnivore. Social media addict. More comfortable online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This personal blog is my external brain. Anything I need to remember goes here. Over the years as social media made it really easy to post there, I have come to neglect my external brain. That explains why I am no longer any good at remembering anything (not that I am getting older). It also explains why I went to the effort of digging up my posts from Friendster<\/a>, LiveJournal<\/a>, MovableType<\/a>, Pitas<\/a>, Vox<\/a>, and Xanga<\/a>. I feel better having everything in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have kept a blog since October 14, 2000. My first real staff position started a few months earlier. Over time I have gotten less openly personal in my blogging and more geek and work related. I don’t blog that much anymore, I guess because I have a family now. See Polymath Parent<\/a> for my fatherhood posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a Solutions Architect for the University System of Georgia. That means I proactively work on our IT challenges. Lean forward. My areas include GeorgiaBEST<\/a>, Georgia Archives<\/a>, and others. See my Vizualize.Me<\/a> for details on my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I previously used a Canon Digital Rebel XT<\/a> digital camera mostly for special events. Now-a-days, the Samsung NX300 is my special events camera. One can find more about my cameras and lenses in my profile at Flickr<\/a>.
