Did I say I had free time? Because what I meant was, I have no free time…I just had three projects happen all at once, so now it is back to work work work all the time…that’s good though, I like feeling productive. Another personal goal is to post some updates to the site with new WSE book code when the new version of the WSE 2.0 drops, which should be soon. My code was based on the tech preview of 2.0, and things like namespaces will change. Lots of fun for me, as you can imagine. Oh well, that’s what happens when you write a book before the final version of the product has shipped. Note to self: avoid the bleeding edge.
Just listening to the Radio Sunnydale soundtrack from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I have to say I recommend it. Many good tracks.
OK, back to work I go!

Welcome to my new blog…..
Sorry it’s been a long time coming. I just finished up another article for Web Services Journal, and am just about to start up an MFA program in creative writing in a couple of weeks, so I have a little down time. I’ve been trying to appreciate the peace and quiet, you know, commune with the big blue sky, great blue herons and bald eagles and hummingbirds and whatnot, but instead I’m ancy, looking forward to the next project, etc. I think the state of Zen is going to be permanently beyond me.
On the plus side, lots of good feedback lately on the poetry page, so hooray for all you techies who are unafraid of the arts. Way to use both sides of your brains. Now if only I could get my poetry friends interested in web services…
