My dear friend and fellow Inkpunk Christie Yant recently wrote about the dos and don’ts of your online presence and it inspired me to do a heavy overhaul of my own website. I haven’t been happy with it for a while. It pulled in things like images from flickr, recently played music from Last.fm, and didn’t show enough real content.

I didn’t reach my original estimate of 5,000 words but this draft is done.

I missed a couple days of writing last week, which included a day spent trying to get fingerprints taken for immigration and ended up with an appointment one week out. Who knew that fingerprint technology had advanced beyond ink pads? One set for Ontario, and a set each for the FBI and State of Illinois to request my records. The saga, she continues.

Up until a year ago, I’d only seen a few episodes of Doctor Who — mostly season 1. I was interested by what I saw but I prefer to watch shows sequentially, even though the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey nature of the show makes viewing out of order just as enjoyable. Then Season 5 came along and I made a point of watching it from the beginning. I was hooked within the first episode.

A pretty good day all around. I’m loving my new schedule. This draft’s a bit rough but I’m on track to finish it up by the end of the weekend, and then I have a few weeks to revise before it’s due.
