Doomz tackles a major challenge. A year at a time with daily updates!
 

The 2K11 24/7 CLXXVI: Evolution of a Species

It's on days like today that the tank just seems to be running on empty. Where the first two days returning to work after being gone for a month seem like the longest, and sending a Saturday babysitting — while fun — kinda derails you from your regular thought process.

It's days like today where I remember videos like Michael Wesch's The Machine is Us/ing Us:

It's a good look at who we are and the path we've walked when it comes to technology — the first time I saw it, it awed me, and now it just makes me think a little harder about what I do every time I see it.

I hope it does something for you, too.

Tomorrow, we start a week-long series that I've been thinking of covering for a month now — I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

The 2K11 24/7 CXXXVII: To Infinity and Beyond

We are only limited by ourselves. Our fears and worries, our abilities and ambitions — these are only examples of the things that govern how far we can get in our lives.

However, truly being the masters of our destinies is far from an easy task. I feel like I'm burning the candle at more ends than I actually have, but also know that there's so much more that I want to accomplish. I'm sure the same goes for so many of you out there.

We can get so lost so easily. How do we find ourselves when we get lost in a sea of thoughts or let other things take precedence over our time, leaving what might have once been our driving forces fall to the wayside?

I can offer a few suggestions…

The 2K11 24/7 CXIII: Just DO it.

With a swollen finger, I still bring you content! Not as much, because it hurts like heck to type, but content nonetheless :)

I had no idea of what I was going to write about today — more chores and more wedding stuff done, and it was a gorgeous day outside, but nothing too out of the ordinary.  On the subway and at lunch, with Sarah in tow I took a little time to scribble out some ideas, but it didn't look like anything worthwhile was coming out.

And then I remembered a video that Sean Ward had once posted that was in my YouTube favourites...

The 2K11 24/7 LXX: An Off Day Does Not a Day Off Make

Tonight ran away from me, having a great chat about the future with someone I respect. It was time very well spent.  Lots of thoughts are running through my head for potential paths to walk and things to do in the time coming; but all shall be revealed at the right time!

In the meantime, it's been one hell of a week. So much to do at work, so many issues to resolve with wedding planning — but in the end, I survived it all and here I am on Friday night, letting my head reset itself.

This won't be a long post by any means — I hope that tomorrow I'll be able to get a lot done so I can do other stuff I love to do on Sunday; like read. But as the video before will show you, be careful what you wish for (NSFW due to some cussin'!) …

Tomorrow, I'll bring you the oft-delayed but never-forgotten post on bathroom etiquette. It shall be of the most epic of proportions!

Have a good one, one and all!

No Excuses!

I'm going to put a statement out there - blogging daily ain't easy if you stay in the house sitting on your butt all day. I did get some stuff done, sure:
  • Read some articles
  • Read some more of my jQuery book
  • Played some Catan: Cities & Knights
  • Took out the Christmas tree
  • Did some dishes
  • Took out the trash
Aw, yeah - I did it all domestic up in this place! But yeah - heed my warning, everyone. You better have a nice, active social life like some of the people I see out there on my Twitter feed if you want good topics to cover daily!

Either that, or I hope you've thoughts of them prior to the weekend. Thank goodness that I took this option!
