Friend Patric going out on his own in the editorial field with a new venture that talks about visual design and technology. He’s a brilliant writer, check out his new site here.
Hold on there! I’m going to actually start writing in this space again. I know you’re bursting with excitement, right?!

I’m such a slacker. We started a web comic not too long ago and I got about three weeks into it and just fizzled out. I’ve no intention of abandoning the site, in fact there’s a panel fully drawn that just needs lettering and it’ll be up. The fact of the matter is that the web site was an experiment, one that I’ve failed miserably.
I’m terrible with routine, it’s just not something that suits me. Although when I develop a routine for certain day-to-day things, my life just seems more organized. I had hoped that the comic would be a nice way to do something that I enjoy and lead me into the scary land of proper routine without much trouble. Nope.
It might also be that I had been rather busy but it’s not much of an excuse at this point. Maybe I’ll get a newspaper subscription instead. Those folks probably could use a little help.

Start a new job (officially as a full-timer) next week. Interesting to be back under the permanent employ of a Corp again. Finally found a place that I like, nice to have that. Plus, garden gnomes! Collections Etc.
I’m thinking that maybe I don’t need titles anymore.
So I’ve been digging around in the garage lately (not a metaphor for anything, really) and I came across some old car stereo equipment that got me thinking. Why don’t I actually put this to some use? Why don’t I indeed. I’ve been driving around a lot lately, whether it’s to an office or a client meeting, I’ve taken command of my old faithful Corolla and have been really happy to do so, except for one thing. I had finally reached a point in my life when I got my Honda that I didn’t have an overwhelming need for an aftermarket car stereo, the one it had was sufficient. Car stereos have come a long way in 20 years, for example, they can actually drown out road noise at more than 30 miles per hour. Who’d have ever thought that was a good idea? Well, people who buy aftermarket car stereos. Sorry, rambling…
So here I am, face to face with a box of near perfect car audio equipment from some time ago and a ripe new automotive canvas. Sure, I was missing a few pieces due to either having sold them or things just getting old and worn out after sitting unused for 15 or so years. I’m happy to say that I’ve got everything I need to overcome road noise at this point, it’s just not actually in the car yet. Yeah, that’s kinda the important part I suppose. Better get to it.
I’ve also been trying to get back on the horse in regard to routines. I have a few online programming classes that I’ve slotted out Wednesday nights (rain or shine) to get started with. And if I can get my lazy ass to go back out running again, that’ll be another thing I can make some steady time for. Run Forrest, run!
Life, in general, is excellent right now. I hope the same for you.
