This is my life now

I wake up, check my email, then walk Mat­tie. She’s so happy though some­times she would rather stay inside with K than go out for her morn­ing walks. But K is either gone or going to sleep a few more hours, so it’s best if I take Mat­tie outside.

Off to work I head, lis­ten­ing to pod­casts, either my own or other people’s. I know some peo­ple who never lis­ten to their own pod­cast, I have to. I want to hear it, I want to find flaws and ways to make it better.

Work goes on, we’re doing more sites with the same con­cepts. It’s not too excit­ing right now, though I am work­ing on a viral mar­ket­ing idea for us. I’ll share details later. Largely I work on my Magic the Gath­er­ing pod­cast, Man­a­Na­tion after work when I’m not on the couch with K.

Some nights I’m film­ing for Man­a­Na­tion. Tues­days is usu­ally the improv work­shop at SAK and then film­ing. Wednes­days I usu­ally record on Skype with WhatThe­Cast. Thurs­days are unsched­uled. Fri­days are some­times D&D with Doug and Laura and oth­ers from church. Sat­ur­days usu­ally are some tour­na­ment once a month. Sun­days I go to church in the morn­ing and then lunch with dad or K and Chrissy. Mon­days are usu­ally open, depend­ing we might try to sched­ule time with friends.

I love spend­ing time with Mat­tie and K. I’m begin­ning to make time to play more Magic, as much as I work on the site pod­cast and talk about the game, I play sur­pris­ingly lit­tle. Then I go and get frus­trated when I don’t do well. Stu­pid. Play more = get better.

I would love to work for myself. It’s no secret and I feel safe pub­lish­ing this on the blog. I’m an entre­pre­neur at heart, I just haven’t had the means to pur­sue any ideas really. The pod­cast is my first ven­ture and it could even­tu­ally turn out to be quite profitable.

I have an idea for a dot-com, I’m not ready to leak the con­cepts yet. I’ve men­tioned it in dis­cus­sions with peo­ple but mostly in pass­ing and I don’t think any­one real­izes what it is, but I think it may do best being devel­oped in LISP. Sure I could do it in PHP or ASP.Net but the con­cept and infra­struc­ture I have planned may be best suited to LISP. God help me.
