Next issue of the magazine

Well, the last issue was cancelled due to end of year busyness. So, we’ve gone ahead and used that month’s content, and added to it. I wish I would have had more time to write, and modify, but with life/work being as it is lately, that was just not possible.

Overall I’m still very happy we’ve received as much input from others to include. The group is really coming together for the content and that can only strengthen the magazine. I need to get the website to where it needs to go —- urgently. The people on 8apps have been quite helpful in sharing ideas when I posed a question about using WordPress as a CMS. And I’m so thankful to all of them.

why can’t i stop coughing

I’m sitting at home right now. Dawn and Little Man are both asleep. I wish I was but every time I lay down I just go into fits of coughing. This is completely lame. Nothing new though – almost every time I’ve been sick while growing up it would turn into bronchitis. Hopefully it doesn’t this time. I do feel better than yesterday, got some good sleep last night – well, after an hour and a half coughing fit that also kept Dawn up. (sorry my beautiful)

I know tonight is going to be a late night to (more on that later) and I have to be at work at dark/thirty tomorrow due to a training session I need to ensure goes well. It’s likely I’ll get some rest this weekend though. Hopefully. Maybe. Eh?!?!

Well, enough of the cough medicine talk. Type at you later.

Weekend

We had planned to make it so I would get quiet time at home today. I even skipped a trip to Joshua Tree with TioTony and Tricia today, because I needed quiet time. Well, unfortunately I started getting a sore throat yesterday and Little Man started getting boogie nose. So we’re all having a slow day today. Oh well – I just hope everyone feels better.

Apple+IKEA = creamy goodness

I saw this posted on TUAW today and just had to share.

Here’s a link to the entire set on flickr. Yes, I am completely jealous.

And, to top off the day, Apple announced a new line of color shuffles. And whop-your-jaw they FINALLY are coming out with orange. Keep your fingers crossed for an orange nano – Dawn has already been made aware I will not be able to control myself – I’ll likely be required to by one. hahaha

Ruby Ann-Marie has come into the world today.

She was born today, January 25th 2007 at 3:14PM PST. She is 8 pounds 9 ounces, 21 inches long, so precious. Michelle and Matt are both doing fine.
I can’t wait to meet her in person now. She’s so beautiful.

Matt and Michelle are at the hospital now and I expect we’ll get to meet the beautiful new person soon. I can imagine what they’re going through right now, it was only three years ago Dawn and I went through it. Nervous, scared, amazed, surreal. They are such wonderful people, I know they’ll be great parents.

8apps – Social Networking for Productive People

This is a new ‘social network’ for productive people. The following link has a great overview and instructions on how to receive an invite.
http://jonkenpon.com/2007/01/17/8appscom-launched/
I’ve began using this and found that it has very interesting potential. Orchestrate is a task management app and so far it’s looking like a viable solution. I do very much enjoy the Ajax built into this as well. Call me a sucker, but Ajax has a level of finesse unmatched by any else on the web. Also included are Blueprint, a brainstorming app, as well as Handshake, a social networking app (hence, social network for productive people’). I’m spending time to learn each of them to see what role they will hopefully play in my productivity and will keep you posted.

Please let me know if you join as well.
