A nice weekend awaits…

This weekend promises to be a nice one. We’re currently celebrating my eldest daughter’s fifth birthday, I have some fun stuff planned to work on, and tomorrow night I’m headed back to CP Pinball with my friend Bob.

A picture of the birthday girl:

This is a good example of why I’m happy to have my iPhone’s camera with me all the time.

He sits atop my iMac in silent watchfulness and (sometimes) mockery.

Blog posts currently in the germinating stage:

  • More on my recent adventures into understanding the GPL, WordPress and the GPL, and thoughts about Daniel Jalkut’s GPL ruminations
  • A simple “how I’m doing it and how you can to” regarding blogging/webapp usage and Fluid for Mac OS X
  • A little write up on my visit(s) to CP Pinball over the past two months and my personal recollections of pinball

This weekend was exactly what I needed. …

This weekend was exactly what I needed. My mother-in-law was in town from Chicago, and we took the kids up to Grant’s Farm (pictures to come from that trip). I managed to get a lot of really productive work done on a few WordPress projects in the late nights, but mostly the days were spent having good times with family.

And my phone broke. But it’s OK now.

I have an iPhone 3GS. I’ve been playing with it for the better part of the day and I do have to say that this thing is about to become as indispensable as my Moleskine and my wallet.

Having this much communicative ability and utility with me everywhere I go is something that I should have done a long time ago. What an awesome little device. Considering the fact that I didn’t even have a texting plan on the old phone, this is a massive shift.

I plan on posting up more detailed thoughts on the blog after I’ve had some time to play with it.
