What the… I just wanted to express my frustration with myself for not learning this wonderful, relatively new language / framework combination known as Ruby on Rails (RoR). I have been playing around with RoR for well over a year, and I have nothing to show for it! Nada, zip, zero, zilch…

In my perfect world, I would be a master at RoR and all things web design related, but unfortunately life gets in the way. Well, not really unfortunate, not at all. It is just that I have been too busy. The same could be said of my aspirations to play the guitar better, or write a book, or master photography, or any number of other things I am interested in. This is a common problem for me, but one that I have no idea how to overcome.

The main problem, which really isn’t a problem, is that I love my life too much to let any of it go to master any of these other areas. I love going hiking, seeing family, having dinner with friends, sleeping in, staying up, etc… Luckily for me, I have unlimited opportunities to do any of these wonderful things. The trick is to make time for my “hobbies”, which I wouldn’t really consider hobbies, but I can’t think of a better descriptor for them.

Perhaps when a certain friend of mine finishes the book “Getting Things Done” (which is a rather comical statement), I will be able to figure out how to get things done. Until then I guess the status quo of loving life but wanting to learn so many wonderful new things will just have to suffice.

So, I am married now! Ha! It was a wonderful ceremony and a perfect evening (hard to be anything but perfect in Maui). I will be posting pictures and video in the near future, after a bit of honeymooning!

Well, I am off to the land of Poi and Hula tomorrow to get married. I am super excited about the trip and getting married! I will post pictures, videos and words when they are available. Hopefully the hotel we are staying at has some form of relatively high-speed internet access.
