Big News Coming Soon (And I’m Still Getting Things Done)

(In case you missed the other big news going on right now: we’re expecting again :) This will be #2 for us. Due in October. We’re very excited and incredibly blessed. We’d appreciate prayers, if you’re the praying type.)

I’ve been pretty quite on the Internets recently. Been “heads-down” on a huge project ever since SXSW. I’ll get to talk about it towards the end of the week :) I can vouch for the absolute productivity boost of remaining off twitter, out of Facebook/other soc.net sites, and staying invisible or offline of your IM. I wonder how people used to work in the days before these things…

I’m still continuing to study and practice “getting things done” methodology. Focusing mostly on staying de-cluttered. This has had the effect of vastly freeing up a part of my brain I didn’t know was occupied. Here are some recent good links along that line.

Ames Web Geek Meetup #5

For the last several months, several Web dev/designers in the Ames (central Iowa) area have been trying to unite the clans a bit, and foster some communication and collaboration amongst the central Iowa Web dev community. We’ve been meeting once a month in Ames at Old Chicago Pizza to chat about what we’re up to, processes, best practices, beer, and RoR vs. PHP.

Come join us if you are in the area! Details on Upcoming…

Something new at Firewheel?

One of my favorite design shops: Firewheel Design is cooking up something new. Those guys are masters of hype. They are like the U2 of the Web design world :) I just hope this product isn’t “How to Disassemble an Atomic BOMB”. I’m sure it won’t be ;) Best wishes guys. Can’t wait to see.

Blogging and Twittering

I’m not a good blogger. I have not developed the work flow, process, discipline, whatever, to blog regularly. I need a better method to send posts to Wordpress, logging in to the admin panel just doesn’t work for me.

I am however, an obsessive Twitterer. So, I decided that I’m going to update this blog every day with that day’s tweets. Twitter Tools is helping me do this.

We’ll see what happens.

Buy My iMac!

I’m consolidating my tech and selling some older stuff off, therefore e-baying my iMac G5. It’s a great machine, but the siren call of the Macbook Pro was too great for me to resist.

I’m selling this puppy with a lot of extras. It’d be a great school machine, and even makes a formidable design/development machine still. Happy bidding!

update: this has a new happy home. thanks to all the bidders!
