The weekend begins
By Sparky | December 2, 2005
The week is over and I’m ready to relax over the weekend. I got a number of good candidates out this week so I have a goof feeling of productivity. As much of a slump as I’ve been in productivity wise in the past month I think I’m back on the track for success.
I had planned on going to see the new Harry Potter movie again with my friend Scott tonight but his dad became ill and he had to cancel. I hope all goes well with his families health. I think I am going to use the suddenly free evening to relax and get started on some projects.

I’m now sitting on my couch as happy as a clam (what does that mean anyway). I have TNG season 2 (not my favorite season, but hey - it’s TNG) blaring on the TV, Skype at my side, a big half-eaten pizza in the kitchen, and a nearly finished website development project nearly done on my powerbook. Talk about geek heaven!
Yet again I have to comment with how impressed I am with Wordpress. I’m using it to do a quick redesign for my condo building. After selecting (then hacking to pieces) a great theme and setting up Wordpress I was able to get the whole thing online in a matter of hours.
In the days before easily customizable open source solutions like this would have taken days and been a complete pain. Now that Creative Commons, the GPL, and other online idea-sharing concepts have taken hold easy and quick technology use is within anyones grasp. Now that everyone can contribute their strengths everyone can benefit.
