Stuff that is currently going on in my life:
– We are at the very end of the REALbasic 2007r5 release process. The dev team is already hard at work on the next project (codename Hanna, which will probably be 2008r1) and I am scrambling to keep the schedule up-to-date.
– I am flying to Austin on Sunday. Meetings, plans, whiteboards, management strategy sessions, and sleep deprivation.
– Tomorrow, hiking in the Cascades. Not sure where yet. Suggestions?
– Lots of sewing. Last night I finished a prototype for the light-up leggings project, which we are going to send to a manufacturer in China for a quote. Today I’m working on a pair of pants – not clubwear this time, just interesting daywear.
– Planning a great big party: an old-school warehouse rave, even, with a great big sound system and half a dozen DJs to drive it. If you live in Seattle and like to dance, leave November 16th open.
– electronics: this is all basically on hold until we finish moving the Rocket Factory to its new Ballard home, but I have a next-generation LAVI circuit in mind which should simplify the project enough to make it buildable in 4-6 hours.
– music: 30-40 minutes of piano practice, every other day or so. Scales, arpeggios, exercises, and some short classical pieces. It’s nice to feel that basic keyboard technique coming back.
– random gardening around Heden, where “gardening” means either “cutting big branches off of trees” or “planting ferns”.
