On corporate sites.

So as you probably know, I’ve been working on the new Dreamsbay.com for a couple of months now. I’m kicking the development of that into overdrive right now in order to make a more representative online presence (translation: snare more clients). I’ve been looking around at a number of other online portfolios, and there are […]

New photo.

By the way, Kate is responsible for the new photo at the left. Thanks, hon. (It was taken last week out in front of the Lincoln Memorial, although there’s not much of ol’ Abe in that shot.)

Still not much going on.

Lots of traveling, lots of hammering on the new Dreamsbay site, and, well, that’s about it. Sorry to be so boring here lately. If you want more compelling news, there’s always the happy couple!

Back, but not much to say yet.

Hey, folks. I’m back in Bethesda, back from Ohio, but there’s not much going on at the moment, just a lot of end-of-the-year type stuff. You know, trying to figure out what business expenses one plans to polish off before the end of FY03, what to do about parties, that kind of thing. Hope y’all […]

There are plumbers in our house.

So I was supposed to get away this weekend, but it’s a good thing I opted to stick around. Plumbers showed up this morning to fix the leaky water heater that’s been the bane of our basement for the last little while, and since the slumlord owner of the house is back in Ohio already […]

Quickie.

I just made an early New Year’s resolution: to stop using the word ‘rocks’ in this weblog.

My girlfriend rocks. Again.

So right before I left her place this afternoon, Kate slipped something into my coat pocket. “Something for the ride home,” she said. “Check it later.” I just did – somehow, this afternoon while we were in the Apple Store at Towson, she snagged me a $10 gift certificate to the iTunes store. I don’t […]

Sorry to see it go, but still – woo-hoo!

I know there was never really any doubt, but still: Return of the King was amazing. If it doesn’t win Best Picture and a whole bunch of other awards, they’ll have been flat-out robbed. This does, however, bring up an interesting debate question: which of the three movies was your favorite? There are so many […]

Football and soft drinks.

Huh, whaddaya know. It’s kinda like Coke Classic and New Coke: Ravens 35, Browns 0: Lewis Leads Ravens to Win Over Cleveland. (My girlfriend is from just outside of Baltimore and I, of course, am from Ohio. I like to say I’m one of the old-school Ravens fans. Not that I’m that interested in football, […]

Holidays a-go-go.

This is insane. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve made repeated trips between DC and Ohio, DC and New York, DC and Baltimore… And I was planning on making a trip from Ohio to Chicago to New York to DC for New Year’s, but that one got whacked from the schedule largely due to […]
