hello world

Well, this started - last night - in WordPress, but I simply could not get the page to look the way I wanted it to.  The end of my rope was reached when I absolutely could not figure out how to post photos where I wanted them.  So today I went on a blog-hunt and found most of my friends are actually using blogger - here I am.

From last night:

I don't really have all that much to say - but since I can't sleep, I've decided to start the blog that I started to start way back in 2007.

I'm not one for new year's resolutions - yet every year it seems I'm reflecting and making changes at this time. To me the timing feels natural being after the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it really is the first time I have the time to reflect.  It's also when I'm doing tons of tasks to wrap up the year (taxes!) leading me to analyze how to work smarter and allow myself to enjoy myself more.  Sometimes the ideas coming from my reflections stick - and sometimes, well, not so much.

One of my intentions from all of this reflection is to communicate more.  For myself, mostly - as a record.  It's 2010 and I made some really neat stuff in 2009 - with nothing to show for it.  Seriously.  I don't think I took so much as a single (good) photograph of anything I made in 2009 - and it makes me sad.  2010 is a new year (guess I need to find the camera cord pronto) - and it will be documented, even if only for me to be able to look back and see my own progression.

So, call it what you will - I'm going to do my darndest to make certain I make at least one post per week.

Over the weekend I hope I'm able to connect this to my website in a way that will not take you away from my site - that's the trick. I'm new to all of this - and far behind the times. And frankly, struggling through to figure it out I feel like a dope. Bah.
