My Vow to Build Things

To often I leave a vision or idea unfinished. I get easily inspired, I have great ideas, but the realization never seems to take place. I recently ran across Mike Creighton's blog, TODAY CREATE. Mike is a very talented flash developer, but what I like most about the blog is his mantra of making... building... creating... executing.

I do have a stable of personal projects I consistently find reasons to not execute. Maybe it's fear of failure. Maybe I'm lazy. For a long time my blog has lacked focus (and content). It's easy to regurgitate other things found on the web, or keep a semi-personal journal. Here is my vow to keep a log of my personal projects here, possibly establish an audience that can keep me accountable for progress.

Here's to inspiration execution.

OSX Reformat

I just resurfaced from a complete reformat of my G4 Powerbook. Sweet Lord Almighty, I had no idea how bad it had gotten. Caches in the metric ton, conflicting fonts, tiny little apps i NEVER use cluttering up my system resources. It was an interesting process. It "felt" good. To ditch all the clutter and start a new was refreshing, kind of like an "unboxing" process. Now machine runs like a Kenyan. And I will be very careful not to install the same cluttter that gummed up the works over the past two years......at least for a couple months.
