So another year is upon us, or more importantly another year is behind us. I for one am glad to see 2008 pass by and ready to make 2009 a much better year. I know I can’t do anything to fix the economy, and I can’t do anything to help mass media report on things that are actually relavant, but what I can do is improve things in my own household economy. Yes, that means that this year I’m going for the gold and doing my own thing. That means totally on my own.
No, I’m not quitting my job, but last year was the most stressful year I’ve ever had professionally. I’ve come to realize that there are those that will always be interested in doing things their way instead of the right way. So with that, I decided that this year I’m going to work really hard on helping people realize there are better ways to do things. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve decided to start a new project, yup, something new. Imagine that, as if I didn’t have enough going on right now, jokes on me I guess. This new project might be the most serious of all the projects I’ve had to date. It’s come to my attention that I can no longer deal with the political nature of working for a large company. Although I must admit there are many nice things about working for a big company. The best of course is getting to meet such a wide array of talented people, and at my current job I’ve met a lot of them. However, I’m still plagued by the fact that I want to innovate instead of doing the same thing day in and day out. My new venture is all about doing something I enjoy and find rewarding, it’s about helping those that want help. Read the rest of this entry »
The worst part about blogging, is actually blogging. I mean it takes so much effort to sit at a computer and put your thoughts into words. That’s probably why twitter is so popular, you don’t have to do much other than jot a few quick words down and your off communicating with your public. But for me, it’s the depression of looking at my blog and realizing that it hasn’t been updated in a very long time. I really think it’s time for an update, and in major way.
I know I’ve said this before: “Updating Coming!!!”. But this time I really mean it, and this time I’m going to keep it simple. No more of the “wouldn’t this be cool” kinda stuff. Nope, right now I’m in to the simplicity of design, so I’m going to stick with that. And I might even learn something new about Wordpress that I hadn’t known before. Besides I’ve been working with Django so much recently, that I’ve kinda gotten sidetracked and haven’t been paying attention to much to my personal site. So hear you have it, I’m committed to a redesign and I fully intend to accomplish it in the coming days.
After much debate and hassle, I finally got around to updating Cynic Tees. I’m pretty happy the the outcome, and apparently so are those who are looking for cynical and sarcastic sayings on T-Shirts. Of the comments I have gotten, the following is my favorite: “Your new look and feel is much better than the crap that was out there before”.
Yup, makes one feel pretty good to know that although the first time I might have produced crap, that the second time around I actually did something more appealing. The design still isn’t completely finished, I would like to fix a few things up, but it’s usable and ready for shoppers.
This week I find myself in hot muggy Chicago. Yes every year I end up making a few trips to Chicago to pow wow with co-workers in an attempt to set the content management world straight for my employer. In all I would have to say it’s one of my more enjoyable trips that I get to make each year, and this year was no exception. As always the information I will come away with and the work that needs to be done is inline with my thinking. However, this trip there seemed to be something a little different than the usual 4 day stay. For some reason I seem to fall asleep in my hotel. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been watching ghost stories with Michael during lunch. No probably not, but then again who know, even though I’m not a big believer in the supernatural.
