Slightly Remarkable

I’ve no valid excuse — lack of time is overused and doesn’t mean anything to anyone anymore. For that reason, I have come to grips with reality and have decided to tell the world what has been keeping me out of the loop.

• Various programming work with Mike Cherim on his Green Methods site, as well as the Green Beast CMS.
• Gametalk. Yes, that disease of a web site that I’ve gone from loving to hating back to loving again… it still exists, and it’s still as screwed up as ever, but just as addictive. This is one of those love/hate relationships… It’s a time killer.
• Video games! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to sit down and play a good quality video game, so I took about five days out of my busy lifestyle this month to play (and beat) Prince of Persia: Warrior Within for the PS2. The game is so wicked! Does anyone know if there will be another sequel, and if so, when it’s coming out? I haven’t seen any previews or heard any rumours, but I gather from the way the game ends that there will be another sequel.
• Various design work for a few clients including a children’s medical hospital in Puerto Rico, a garbage disposal site, and a new design for Slightly Remarkable.
• Guitar practice. I am really working on playing guitar a lot because music is one of the driving forces in my life. Also I feel like I should become an instrumentalist to learn to appreciate real talent in music and so that I can learn from and play along with my favorite songs.
• Chategory is going to be so awesome! Working with the Rico libraries, Chategory is going to have an awesome user interface. Additionally, we’re adding butt loads of features to it and making it lots more extensible. There may still be room for more developers, so if you’re interested, feel free to drop me a line about it.

That’s a basic wrap-up of what’s been keeping me away from my blog (and from reading others’ blogs) for the past two weeks. I’m still as interested as ever in blogging, but it has had to take a backseat while I clear up other things. I don’t know how long it will be before I make another blog entry, though… School starts soon, family is coming down to visit soon, I’m going to be working on getting my license, and there’s just so much in my personal life I just don’t have the time I used to.
