I hear you, Scobes. I look forward to stop building infrastructure and start building the content for it. Infrastructure is a great term usually referring to highways, power systems, etc. I like to use it for fundamental things you lay down and don't expect to change all that often: who you're married to, what your career is, where you live. Content is those nuggets of fun or productivity that take advantage of the fact you've got your life together, like little cars driving along that offramp. Although it's not that easy: sometimes having your life together is just another way of being stagnant. This week I was amazed at what I accomplished by ignoring EVERYTHING to a near-criminal level and focussing for an entire day. Glass was breaking, washing machine off kilter and buzzing its head off. Is there some small chance I did better work because it was "in spite" of a hostile ecosystem?

Not sure whether to delete this, I think I'll just indent.

It's interesting to look back at your weblog on historical dates. On 9/11 two years ago I posted a couple of pictures from my son Patrick. Wow how has life changed in just those short two years for me. Car wreck. Divorce. Move. Ship Radio. Grandma died. Lay myself off from UserLand. Get job at NEC. Engagement to Maryam. Wedding. Move. Get job at Microsoft. Move. Whew.

"This is a day I will never forget," my son Patrick said two years ago today. Tell me about it. We all have fit a whole lot of life into two very short years.
