Motors and Cycles
I'm signed up for a motorcycle safety class in a few weeks. And I have a six-year old waiting for me when I get back. So at this point I have no idea if I'm going to end up getting a bike or not ( Read more... ) -
Art
I am now less than two hours away from my first art class in about 25 years. I am taking a "Drawing Fundamentals 101" class at the local art center. As a victim of bad elementary art school teachers, and a short-sighted person with poor depth perception, I can only wonder what I'll end up with ( Read more... ) -

Kid's Music
I'm driving Little_Mz_Hatbox to school this morning. As we were departing the garage, I asked her if she wanted to hear some tunes. "Yes," she replied, "I want the iPod. I want to hear... iTunes!"

I predict that in 2013, they'll find another date. -

While I have to admit that many of my interactions with my father don't go like I want them to, i always seem to be able to predict many of his reactions. And, if not, I can understand them in context ( Read more... ) -
Upgraded business web site
After farting about for far too long, I've finally upgraded my business web site. I spent a bunch of time analyzing all the open-source CMS tools, and went with Drupal. If you're ever thinking of starting your own web site, I highly recommend it. I still need to do a lot of formatting, but it already looks better than my old site. And it's a damn ( Read more... ) -
Rails
I've started learning Ruby and looking at the Rails web environment. So far, all I can say is 'wow". It looks like the designers spent a lot of time making a tool to solve real world problems, and have created a framework that makes most web applications trivial. After watching a couple of videos, I can se how you can build a site like 43Things ( Read more... )
