This, without a doubt, has been my busiest December ever. It included a trip to Web Design World 2007 in Boston, temporary relocation from my apartment due to mold infestation, an office move, client work and of course Christmas and New Years. Don’t mistake that for complaining mind you, I just never realized how many fun-filled activities could be jam-packed into one calendar month.

Due to the benevolent nature of my employer, our office is officially closed from now through January 2. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. It would have been more pleasant to kick off my vacation without the flu, but hey, can’t have your cake and eat it too, right? Even if I were to eat said cake, it probably would taste like Styrofoam anyway.

This is all a very long winded way of me wishing everyone the best for the holidays and the coming year. And speaking of the coming year, perhaps I will finally actually do something with my bit of cyber real estate - I’ve been rocking the default WordPress theme for about, oh, four months now?

My major flaw has (always) been that I will hash and re-hash a layout or design or CSS file about 10,000 times only to then either banish it to the recycle bin, or just store it my archives. When I saw Dan Cederholm speak a few weeks back in Boston, he made reference to the book Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard, and the notion of an 80 percenter. Perhaps I need that more philosophical approach to my work. I might actually get something done!
