Gutsy. Crazy. Awesome.

Glad to be of service

Thanks !

Tired
Moving phase 1 is complete. Leah’s stuff is at the new place. Phase 2 will be my stuff, happening through the end of the month. Broadband access will be at the new place on Monday. More to do than I can possibly say. Leah is doing GREAT.

New New News
None yet. Stay tuned. Packing is happening in earnest. Today I started the new job officially. Just fine. Emotionally I’m good, though I wish more things were settled. I’m ready to be 100% in the new new place. But the change is going to be incremental. Sometimes that’s how life is.

Stay tuned. There’s lots more news coming here in August.

Thanks for your patience!

Whew
What a day yesterday! Too much to say. Gotta work. What a week!

Onwardness!

@ The Meetup
So my laptop is out of commission, so this is a post from one of the public and anonymous terminals at The Living Room. Meetup in half an hour. I hope the turnout is as good as the RVSP page seems to indicate.

Good stuff happening. Moving this week and through the end of the month. Leah is here too. Pretty awesome all around. Is this place going to hold all those people?

I guess we’ll see.

Web Design Meetup San Diego: TONIGHT
Web Design Meetup, 108 members, 25 affirmative RSVPs. Nice. Should be awesome.

FOAF
I added a FOAF file to the root of my webserver. Though I’ve not added any friends. Can FOAF even work? Can machine-based semantic web ever hope to approximate the nuances of human relationships, which change over time with subtlety?

Anyway, more about FOAF here.

Celeb Moblogging In The Wild.
Andy of waxy.org updated his Celebrity Moblogging posting with an active one: http://celebs.buzznet.com/cat/—which currently has Randy Newman as the main phone-shot-pic. And interestingly, Andy had commented on my post about Newman some time back.

A wee bit of circuitous synchronicity for a Tuesday evening.
