A 6:30am flight means I needed to be up at 4am. Going to sleep around 8pm seemed like a great idea, but my body knew something was up and I was awake before midnight. Now it is 3:30am I could really use a couple more hours of sleep but I’ve got to push through at least until I get on the airplane back to Seattle.

I’ve got a geek blog post I’ve really got to write about stuff that came up here at Velocity. I’ve been thinking lately about how to organize blogs as I need to find a place for urban farming and bike projects (non-advocacy). A jokes about building a “bry-pire.” I’ve registered a couple domains to fulfill the need for the farming and bike bits and confgured wordpress and k2 but I’m not done setting up the basic graphics yet. That will be the extent of the graphic design. While I’m still unsure if I should move the tech blog to its own domain or not, I took some time to redesign my home page tonight while lead to a rewrite of my okcupid profile. The latter was particular interesting. First, since I’ve stopped drinking, a huge whole opened up in it. But beyond that something greater has changed such that I didn’t feel I could continue with the incremental updates that I’ve done over the last few years. In the past I could see a sort of trend in edits as life changed and I grew. Yet, something is different, like a facade has fallen, and I can’t quite put my finger on it. It is surely related to J thinking I am more present than I used to be.

I talked to Matthew today for the first time in a bit. He is in Florida working out terms for a job he accepted. His first job ever, which is quite impressive, perhaps in subtle ways. This underscores how much we have to talk about. I’m ready to blame time zone differences for not having time to call him when he’s awake, but really it is a reminder to be more proactive about the use of my time.

Still. I just wrote a short email to M and hit discard. Time. Shift.

There’s a different way of measuring value hidden in here somewhere. I think I’m too tired to discern it.
