I've been free from the demands of a job for the last 4.5 months at klickitat. The most significant accomplishment was the starting of thingdango.com. after running into a wall over access to automated posting on craigslist and a cost wall from ebay, the site is a glorified photo album.

my other interests of openid, distributed social networks (diso in particular), the android platform are there without new contributions from me.

i fly to Chicago today to hang out with Jennifer for a week (when she's not working anyways). The forecast for Chicago calls for snow and a high of 5F on Friday. That's cold but Jennifer's condo must be warmer than the house I'm in. It'll be a great change of scenery and change of routine.

i've been reading various books.
