New Year, New Websites!January 8th, 2010|2:51pm.Hey everybody, happy 2010! Now is when people typically take a look back at the previous year and see if they really did anything or if they just spent most of their time watching cartoons and drinking beer, so let's give that a shot:
Things I Did In 2009
- watched cartoons
- drank beer
- ran a half marathon
- started going to school full time (and working part time)
- released a record
- ate a turducken
- started some cool projects
- pretended to be a teacher
- and probably lots of other fun stuff that I really can't remember!
I think that 2010 should be pretty fun, too, so we'll just see how it plays out. I'm already back in the swing of things with work and school. This semester I'm taking a class in Intelligent Information Retrieval (because I really kind of missed doing technical/CS type of stuff) and Inquiry Methods and Use Analysis (another HCI class). It should be a interesting semester.
Also I just took a couple new websites live. Over Winter Break (yes, just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I don't have Winter Break anymore) I was doing some work for my buddy Chris from high school. He has a decking company out in Arizona, Dulcedo Builders, and, like most business, needed a site. Someone else had done most of the design work already so I just cleaned things up and coded it. Check it out at
www.dulcedobuilders.com. We also took the CFA Chicago site live at work last week. They were in desperate need a of a redesign, and this was a big step up from what they had:
www.cfachicago.org.
ALSO, I've been reading
The God Delusion (at Bryan's recommendation) and I'm really enjoying it and it makes me really miss some of the theological discussions we all use to have a Liz's house. I've got a whole bunch of good books to read now and I need to finish this up before I can move on to them. It almost makes me with my commute was longer.
