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 
- I went to Iceland 
- My wife and I bought an apartment in Upper Manhattan 
- The world came to a halt due to a highly contagious respiratory disease 
- I got really into cooking and posting Instagram stories about cooking 
- I found out I was going to be a father 
- I joined a band 
- After three years of not really traveling, I went to New Orleans 
- My daughter was born 
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.
