May have thrown my back out :-)
Not letting Zelda on the couch. I feel cruel. Somehow she's decided suddenly she has the right.
Site that never ends (will be discussing phase 2 tomorrow even if phase 1 still isn't done) is killing workload-wise but it's sort of fun.
Need to record a lot of things i haven't written down about this year. It's been great.
Mid-December Chicago and West Virginia trip, with nephews and snow and four wheelers and Jake and Sarah and getting way more in presents from my brothers than I gave and Kasey and then Veronica and I driving back-- and that's just the West Virginia part, there's the whole train trip with Fox with stops in Syracuse (Brian and Jessica) and Rochester (Heather and Afam) and then seeing Bangpound (though only at the Drupal conference), Bec, Mary, and Jeff again in Chicago.
And December would be my light-travel month!
January is dedicated to reality; February begins fantasy life again.
I make a living doing web design and development with a great team

I'm trying to make possible a worldwide nonviolent revolution for justice, liberty, and making more good things doable.

America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you’ve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn’t belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don’t care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.
