Grand Plans
My life in the past month has become a sitcom. I have every intention of accomplishing something, but a comedy of errors and obstacles have prevented me from reaching my goal.
You see, I had a plan. I was going to finish both my portfolio and the redesign of this site before I went to the WebVisions event, so I could stand tall and be proud of my personal site when meeting all of these great people on Friday (Nick Fink, Keith Robinson, Dirk Knemeyer, Jason Fried, the list goes on). Alas, the world had other plans for me…
To keep it short, after many late night parties (I know what your thinking, but this is actually required as my wife is the local nightlife writer for 3 publications), some freelance work, a big case of burnout, and finally my computer catching some sort of virus that required a complete rebuild, I'm not going to make it.
I spent last night thinking of ways to squeeze in an hour or two of work at the airport and on the plane to try and hastily finish up, when my wife tells me she's going to co-opt my laptop for the night to finish up her writing! Well her use of the computer is going to pay more than mine, so I'm going to come up short.
I'm kind of sad in a way, because I really wanted my new site design up before this conference, but I can think of worse things. Either way, rest assured that the new site is coming soon.
With that, I'm on a plane today and off to Portland to absorb copious amounts of knowledge from some great minds. I'll try to keep good notes and draft a write up next week. Till then…
