Ah… That new toy smell! I’ve been wanting to get one for some time now, and have some ideas for web apps to write for it. Now to just get enough other, more pressing tasks out of the way first, and I can actually write them.
Never enough time in the day, I guess.

I seem to have these gaps here and there - well, mostly here… I sometimes forget to update this site for long stretches.
Jenny recently finished her IDP hours. 700 units, and some to spare! Congratulations, Honey! I love you!
Haven’t really touched the camera much, since it’s been blistering cold outside. I have two cheap light-sensor flash triggers on the way (hopefully will work better with my 430EX than the cheap Cactus radio triggers, which get lots of false triggers) which might prompt me to spend some time with inside flash photography (plenty of small objects around the house to nuke).
Been plenty busy at work, with several miscellaneous ideas bouncing around in my head to try. Have to shake them out one of these days and try them…
I keep preventing myself from buying an iPhone… I have a couple useful Web App ideas to try that would be perfect for an iPhone - something always connected and always at hand. And before long Apple’s supposed to release an actual iPhone SDK, which would tempt me even more…
Plus wanting to write an actual gallery for the webpage (or my recently-acquired mwyman.com domain, which I’m thinking of turning into a photoblog if I can find the time).
And not to be forgotten, I have a wedding to be thinking about. I feel guilty because I see all the wedding-planning books Jenny gets from the library and feel like I’m being such a slacker… On the other hand, it doesn’t appear like any of those books are geared towards men, so I’m not sure what I’d be supposed to read!
Jenny finds the occasional book aimed at men, but they all seem to be of the format: “before the day of, remember to do X… on the day of, remember to do Y… at the reception, remember to do Z…” for various sets X, Y, and Z. I think the number of books that can have non-intersecting sets of X, Y, and Z must be fairly small, since I’ve already seen overlap.
Perhaps after the wedding, I should write a wedding book for men: “How to have a wedding using only Windows Default 16 colors.” (I could write it now, I suppose - but would you trust a wedding book written by an unmarried man?)
