Looking Forward to…

Big Things:

• As-yet-unnamed Baby #2, seemingly hot on the heels of his or her older brother Conor
• Spending more time with family, and especially happy little Conor and my significantly better half
• A full-time, as-permanent-as-possible job that makes full use of my skills and allows me to grow, as opposed to short-term contract work (and if you have any leads for me…  )
• Restoring relationships with good friends who are too often lost in the endless shuffling of time and place
• D*I*Y Planner v3, due out in about a month (whew)
• A return to my more creative endeavours, including writing, art, photography and videography
• Becoming more involved in local community groups where I can interface with real humans face-to-face

Small Things:

• Finishing an online gallery for my wife
• Finally teaching my mother how to use a computer (she wants to use it to find a man… *sigh*)
• Dabbling once more in woodworking, or leatherworking, or bookbinding, or something else that makes use of my hands (and that preferably doesn’t involve a computer)
• Hopping in the Jeep, exploring remote places, and hiking through rough terrain with my faithful hound and a camera
• Making (and savouring) real sushi again
• Delving more into information management software like Tinderbox and DEVONthink/DEVONagent
• More video shooting and editing, and perhaps producing a reel or two
• The new season of Battlestar Galactica — the only hour per week I actually want to spend in front of a TV
