flickr added to blog!

hey all,
in my quest to become web 2.0 compliant, I'm out and about exploring all the social media i can get my hands on, as well as all the stuff the guys at Plaid can throw at me!

so i just set up a flickr account which i attached to the blog, so i can load images faster/easier/better.

also, i'm going to be adding a dynamic feed to the website under the "Sociality" link.

WOOHOO!

ah, controlled chaos

so summer may be finally here in CT, maybe. no one's making any promises on that.

this week is going to be a special week, between my design workload, preparing for a vacation, and two dozen workmen coming to my house to do repair work - there's no shortage of excitment! (just a shortage of time).

i'm stoked to be going on vacation, even just for a few days. i'll be camping in Gettysburg PA right next to the battle field, so all that history (and ghost stories) will be really exciting, and i've never been before so just the excitment of being in a new place will hopefully recharge the programming batteries in me.

i'm also excited cause my hubby is excited to camp, with is a rare and delicate thing so i'm trying tomake it nice for him, so he'll camp again.

stay tuned for pics!

well, it's been a long time since i had my last run in with someone who didn't have to work during the day.

hey all, ok so i'm a web developer, and i spend a lot of time online and talking to all kinds of people from all over the place. but there is something special about the internet that brings out "stupid" in some people.

you've seen it before, or maybe a friend has told you about it.

having your IM chat status "on" draws in the weird comments and requests often from people who are surfing the user groups that you didn't even know your were apart of!

so ya know what - spare me! i'm a web designer and thankfully a busy one, even if you just wanted to chat (clean please) say so! no dumb stuff allowed!

surfboard - GO!

I just ordered my board!!! hooray!!

My guys at Warm Winds have taken care of me, and recommended a different board thats the same epoxy, but a better shape that has gotten better user feedback than the other brand.
plus it was a few bucks cheaper and much better looking.

so in a week or two i'll be able to go pick up the new board, and get fitted for a wetsuit. then i should be good to go!
