Microblogging and motivation
I've always been a bit behind the curve, and I'm okay with that. I was still writing in a paper journal when people started blogging. First there were the websites where people edited the website to post a new article. Then software made it easier and we have the blogs of today where you WYSIWYG type into a box and click a button.

There is only "done" and "not done"
Jen and I got to cross "Compost Bin" off our list today. -

Level Up
So, I think last night I earned enough XP to consider myself a Father. Up until now I might've been called a guardian, and maybe considered a dad, but I think I can level up now ( Read more... ) -
Friends In Low Places
