Pop Goes the Monkey

Yesterday we went to the Spanish Fork Kite Festival. What’s a kite festival? Well, I’m not exactly sure. Over in one area, there was some wave runners riding around a small man-made lake dragging giant kites behind them. And over in another area, a bunch of people got to bring kites from home and fly them. All told, it wasn’t the most exciting thing we’ve ever done, but I applaud Spanish Fork city for constantly trying to put together unique events to get the community involved.

Here’s a quick video from the event.

Here are some pictures. Note how well Cassie takes pictures with her dad these days

Hey, I’m Adam Thomson. I am married to Sandy Thomson and with our two beautiful children, Cassie and Peter, we make up the Thomson clan.

I was born in 1979 and spent the vast majority of my childhood in Utah, although we did like in Kansas and Alabama for a few years. After high school, I attended the University of Georgia for a few years before running out of money and having to find a job to support myself.

I now work as a software engineer/project manager at a company called CirclePix.com and have been doing so for the past 8 years. As far as programming goes, I’m a PHP guru and lately have loved working with Adobe flex. I manage a great group of guys and love the CirclePix atmosphere.

In the summer of 2002, I met my beutiful wife and we were married in January of ‘03. After struggling to make ends meet for a few years, we were finally able to buy a home in Spanish Fork in 2005. Cassie was then born in 2006 and Peter in 2008.

That’s pretty much my history. As far as my hobbies and what not, I’m a pretty boring guy. I love to read and play with my children. I love watching sports. I love college football, the NFL, the NBA, and Nascar. I also love to play fantasy sports. My wife and I love our neighborhood and enjoy having friends over for casual parties.

I am also an uapploagetic nerd and enjoy playing video games and watching movies/TV. I am in the process of creating a media server where I have all my movies, plus just about every other movie I can get my hands on, stored on it for easy access.

Well, that’s pretty much it.
