I’ve been doing poorly at my resolution to start doing more interesting things. I was out of town on business for a week and a half, and since then I’ve been very busy getting ready for user testing of my project at work.

In lieu of finding time or motivation or headspace to do visceral arty things, I am redoubling my efforts to make sure that the job I work at is a worthwhile pursuit. If I’m going to spend a third of my time at my job, I better be working on an awesome project.

I’m over coding. It’s a solved problem. Anything can be cross-compiled to anything else and then JITed or statically precompiled or whatever you insist is the flavor of the week. No problem. I want to operate in the domain of the bigger picture.

The days following the passing of Steve Jobs were interesting. I see now that I must act immediately.
