Ok, after a bout of letting everything go I think that it is time to start to rebuild the right way. I been doing a lot of thinking over the last few months and I have to tell you that a lot of that time has been about “What am I doing with my life”. I have two little girls that I love very much and I start to think “What am I teaching them”? So since the start of 2010 I redesigned this site from a personal tech blog to a “Go Green” site. That was good but we fell off the whole going green thing after about 4 months. Not sure why but I think that it was just easier to go back to what we knew worked. My wife is working 3 jobs and doing her masters online (crazy but that’s how she likes it). I am working on my BS in CIS with a focus on the Health Care sector. Now, I have a love/hate relationship  with technology that has grown to more of a hate than anything else. I really started in the whole computer/design/repair/networks/programming thing in 1998. I thought it was the cool thing to do and made me feel a bit elite. Well after about 4 years my soul felt sucked dry and was becoming more and more of a machine myself. This affected everything, my home life, friends, family, religion. Since then it’s just been a way to make a living. However I start to think – Am I just living to work? The answer is a big YES or I think that is what I have come up with as of today.

So starting today I am starting to make plans to reverse that. I am going to start working to live. I am going to use this as a way to help me push forward with making that change. I won’t promise updates on a regular basis but as they naturally develop.

The overall goal is to:

• Find a good area to live in. (IL is not for me anymore…)
• Find a good home.
• Get off the grid. (completely)
• Get away from buying 95% of all items from the grocery store.
• Eat better by growing and raising our own food.
• Not have to work a traditional “job”. (Not lazy here just rather be in the fields working)
• Have a better life with my family.

This is just a list off the top of my head. I know that it is going to take some time to get these things done and many roadblocks lie ahead and the list might change… However I know that we can do it and it starts here. Today.

Reinvented…

Living in Danville, IL has taught me a lot of things. The one that sticks out the most is hope. I have always hoped that there would be a time that I could start up many business here and help turn around the city. Partner up with my friend and family and have fun at whatever business that we started. Now a lot of that is gone. I will not be continuing with the Food-Coop idea and streamlining the rest of my businesses down to just a pure consulting business focusing on web programming. I hope to be leaving this city soon and the skills that I have aquired over the years can be use anywhere I go.

The blog how it has been will be going away and a new look and feel will be coming soon. This will focus on my personal skills and talents as it was when I first started this site many years ago.

I thank the follower and supporters and like to tell you that this isn’t the end but only the beggining of the reinvention of Sean Schroder. I have for way to long been putting to much effort into what could be instead of what can be now.

I look forward to this change and will be back soon to update this site with a new look and feel. I will be having some domains for sale soon which will be listed below in the Items for Sale section in the sidebar.
