About

Hanging out with Isaac on the Continental Divide on the first day of my retirement.

Hi, I'm Doug Mahugh and this is my personal blog. You'll find here posts on photography, travel, Python, dogs, and other topics I find interesting, such as the Gathering of the Juggalos, hiking, safaris in Kenya, and life in Butte, Montana.

As of July 2023, I've decided that 45 years of working for a living was enough and I am now retired. I worked at Google most recently, and Microsoft for a while before that, but the most satisfying and memorable part of my career was my years as Second City Software and the Defender adventures that took me from Seattle to Chicago.

You can also find me on Instagram (regulary), Flickr (as well as my dog photos Flickr), BlueSky, and YouTube (rarely). My dogs have a Facebook page that covers the daily life of our current pack: Nancy, Isaac, and George. I have a LinkedIn page for keeping in touch with work friends, and if you'd like to email me you can reach me at dmahugh on Gmail.
