Seven years is a really long time to go without blogging. But according to my analytics, there hasn’t been a huge audience for Ernie Gerardo content lately. So here’s what’s been happening between 2016 and now:
Actually, this was 2015, but images are good for SEO. Plus, that jacket is so awesome.
I planned my wedding
I worked as a production assistant for the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival
I met the guy who would become my employer for the next seven years
I got married
I worked for these guys, and I also worked for these guys on nights and weekends
I went to Paris
My friends got married in Puerto Rico
My sister got married
I got a dog
I officiated my best friend’s wedding
I went to Barcelona

Yes, this blog and portfolio will now be mostly baby content.
I spent a good chunk of 2022 figuring out the next move
The band I joined played some shows, and we recorded an EP
My wife and I sold an apartment in Upper Manhattan
I left my job of seven years
I took up teaching STEM and media production to neurodivergent students
…and the rest is for a later post.
So what is next for this lovely website? In the coming weeks, as I prepare to move forward, I’d also like to look back, so maybe we can expect:
Throwback travelogues
A summary of my pandemic activity whilst in quarantine
Musing about the band I joined
Musing about how LinkedIn ended up being a more social app than professional one for me
Dog stuff
Baby stuff
Updates to my portfolio (yes, I did work on audio and video projects in my spare time)
So keep an eye out here, and you’ll start to see more stuff from me as I share career things, creative things, and general life things. Please enjoy these budget Muppet Babies celebrating my return to blogging, and I’ll see y’all real soon.
