The time has come for a blog.

I ought to have done this 4 years ago… but I didn’t, and so now I have to catch up.

My advancement in the Martial Arts
I'm now getting butterflies while I wait for 4pm to come around, when I have to go and take my yellow belt test at class.. (Yellow belt..? yup. But I hear it's gruelling notheless.)

Reading: Pastwatch (the redemption) by Orson Scott Card.
Ties in neatly with the themes in Guns Germs and Steel, by Jared Diamond - which I'm also reading (off and on)

today being a day that:

• caused endless and needless worry at work
• I picked up the Art of Science (book.. that isn't handy to give more details on) and learned about keeping records
• I didn't do any further work on the potato buckyball
• I didn't learn anything about Swing (in java2)
• I did have in depth discussions with my girlfriend on what we're going to do after december when our son/daughter in born.. and what we need to do beforehand
• and that finally prompted me to get this blog of the ground (and gave me somewhere to test out this new template)

And that is that for now...
