In case you were following this, I’ve moved the bits over to http://playswithfire.com/ - I’m not sure what I’ll do with this in the future. For right now, it’s parked.

The dog, at rest (Taken with instagram)

I was having a good time with this thing (however sporadically) until I read Duncan’s post here.

Now, I’m not so sure I’d post anything of my own work here.

Time to dust off the real bits over at playswithfire.com…

Sitting here in my office at home I’m completely surrounded by paper - paper of all kinds: bills, mail, magazines, academic papers to read, all kinds of random stuff.

I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap that I love, but somehow I don’t make the time to sit there and scan the important stuff. That’s probably because it’s such boring work.

My office at work is totally organized. No paper loose anywhere, no stacks of stuff to go through, etc. It’s probably because work is so much more focused than all the other junk that piles up at home.

…and I’m not at TED. :)

Although given that I didn’t apply to go (and pay for the privilege at that), this shouldn’t be surprising.

I feel like I really should be figuring out how to embed my tumblr into my “regular” web page and then I’d be all set as far as the stuff I’d want to do with blogging, etc.

It’s not lack of motivation. It’s lack of time. :)

I’m trying to decide about setting up a weblog (or just piping this one through someplace else) and I want to figure out what engine to use.

Duncan uses MovableType after a brief flirtation with ExpressionEngine. Other people swear by WordPress. If I thought I was motivated enough, I’d try to set up typo.

Any opinions?

We’re heading out tomorrow after work for a much-needed week long vacation. After taking the red-eye from SFO to JFK, we’ll eventually land in Syracuse, NY and after an hour and 40 minutes or so on the road and a short boat trip, we’ll wind up here.

I usually leave my watch on the dresser, sit on the dock, and watch the river go by. If the sun is overhead and I’m hungry, then it’s roughly lunchtime. That’s about as complicated as anything gets up there.

I can’t wait.

Enjoy your cookouts & fireworks, everyone.

I’m very excited; the pool guy came by today to do the startup and said we could swim tomorrow. This rocks.
