I started January 1st like I have the past few New Year’s days. I listened to David Foster Wallace’s commencement address, This is Water. You can get it in article form, book form or on YouTube (blogged about it last year and in 2015). I love its message. Pay attention, Be aware. Support others. Every day. Beyond that annual […]

A new year starts tomorrow, so I’m going to keep up my tradition and set a few goals for the days and weeks ahead. This year, I want to be all about focus. I recently read a post from Nathan Kontny about focusing, and its message was clear to me: set one priority, not many. The […]

A new year starts tomorrow so I’m thinking about where I’ve been and what’s ahead. Like the last few years, I’m focusing on personal focuses rather than work ones.

I set a few goals at the beginning of 2011. I wanted to: Recode this site using WordPress’ 3.0’s custom post types and HTML5, plus develop a mobile theme. Complete a project in Drupal, Joomla or another CMS. Blog more. Learn more PHP. So how did I do? I launched a new site in May, […]

Another year has rolled on by, and like many others, I keep thinking where I’ve been. With technology moving so quickly, bringing with it many new applications to try and fresh techniques to learn, I wanted to make some goals for the new year. Resolutions? You could call them that. Recode this site using WordPress’ […]
