I’m not going to apologize for not blogging, because I’ve decided to stop feeling guilty about it. Lately it’s felt like a chore to write anything, and I don’t want my site to be something I feel obligated to work on. I think it’s better for my posts to be less frequent if I enjoy them more that way.

Now that my non-apology is out of the way, here are some things I’ve been up to recently:

• Redesigning Bryan’s site. It’s all raspberrylicious now. But you probably already knew that!

• Visiting Bostonia again and had a fabulous time with Jeremiah, Arthur, and RyanHarne.com. Highlight of the trip (apart from finally getting to meet Arthur): the crazy drunk guy that we saw twice on the T who told loud, disjointed stories about whatever crossed his mind, including the price of dry cleaning a shirt in the 1930s.

• Seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (while in Boston). I absolutely loved it and recommend that you stop whatever you’re doing and go see it now. Seriously, put down that highly educational textbook and go rot your brain. It’s worth it.

• Learning Ruby by reading Why’s (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. It’s by far the most bizarre, original, and enjoyable programming book I’ve ever read. There are cartoon foxes, aliens, elves, and, yes, chunky bacon. Ruby seems like a pretty cool language, so I’ll probably figure out some sort of project to write just so I can learn it.

• Trying to get over a sinus infection-ish thing. Ugh.

• Not going biking like I wanted to because of said sinus infection-ish thing. Double ugh.

• Being way too entertained by the phrase “chunky bacon.” But really, it’s pretty fun. Try it!

Chunky. Bacon.
