Back in Bethesda with Kate, getting ready to do Christmas shopping, and polishing up some client work. Aside from that, not much is going on! Oh, and taking pictures with the new camera, which is really very cool. More on this later.

That is the sound of my personal mental hard drive spinning down. Been sitting here in the Soho Apple Store for a while and am now very very sleepy. Incidentally, I am peeved that I can’t buy TurboTax 2003 here. For some reason they don’t have it yet. Grrr. I have numbers to crunch here, […]

I tell you what, this week in New York has taught me a lot of things about myself. For starters, a day spent toting my computer around on my backpack to work in a Barnes and Noble, a Starbucks, the Apple Store, and various places in between can be both very productive and very rewarding. […]

I know this sounds highly, highly improbable, but it turns out that I’m a lot more efficient and effective when I’m a couple hundred miles away from my home office. I’m only checking my email and the web occasionally, when I’m glomming onto some terminal or the free WiFi at the Soho Apple Store (where […]

Quick post from Digital Society, this neat little Mac shop in NYC. I ducked in here to look for the Canon Digital Rebel, which was out of stock at the Apple Store in Soho, but they don’t seem to carry ’em. Nuts. Man, is it COLD out there. Ears frozen. Need hat. Unfortunately, my fedora […]

So the Magellan project may be postponed for a little while. Instead of a bright-and-shiny G5, I’ve elected to upgrade to a new PowerBook. Granted, I know that the PowerBook G5s will probably be out in another year or so, but portability right now for me is huge. Also, my budget is limited, and in […]

I miss my girlfriend. I just spent five days straight with her, and now I’m back in DC and she’s in New York and I miss her. I’m also blue because there’s a pretty good chance I’m going to spend my birthday this weekend alone. Most of my friends are busy, Kate’s totally slammed with […]

As I noted before, I’m trying to get three more sites done before the end of the year. One of those sites is the official site for the Virtual Book Tour. Kevin and I spent a few hours talking about it last night, sitting in the World Cafe in Baltimore and hacking out ideas in […]

This weekend I made a last-minute flying trip to The Big Apple to see my girlfriend. Added bonus fun: she wasn’t expecting me, so it was a real surprise. So much fun – the big event of the visit was a one-act festival, where Kate directed The Choir Loft and starred in Medusa’s Tale, and […]

Upon reviewing my personal timeline, I discovered that I’ve developed seventeen websites this year. My goal here is to do three more before the end of the year, to hit the big twenty. Based on my to-do list right now, that shouldn’t be a problem. Now, as for finishing my novel before I hit 26… […]
