Taking stock of what I have and what I haven’t

spencer — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:08:17 +0000

Today I turned another year older, and I think a little retrospective is in order. In the course of a year its sometimes hard to see the little things and I sometimes have a habit of overlooking all that I’ve accomplished. After sitting down with my employer yesterday for a yearly review I decided that [...]

Medical mysteries

So, in addition to putting together our first permit set this week and having our first paint color consultation with a client, I have been feeling really sick. This is why I haven’t updated the last two days. I’ve been exhausted and had no appetite (yay! Weight loss!) and been having a series of fevers [...]

There will be no post today. I am observing Yom Kippur in my own way; fasting and contemplating my year past and the one to come. I am going to focus on what about myself I need to work on and how I can be both a better person and a better me. Post from: [...]

Jumpstarting my life

Tonight I saw Julie and Julia, which after my bout of malaise this week was the perfect impetus I needed. I heartily identified with the character of Jules, I too am in my late 20′s and also feel like I never finish anything I start. Unlike the main character of this movie, I am not [...]

Motivation is a terrible thing to waste

spencer — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:41:41 +0000

Lately I’ve discovered that the greatest enemy of the unemployed architect is not a bad economy, but malaise. Over the past 6 months I’ve managed to pull together some work to get my new firm off the ground, but not enough to make a profit yet (what with the cost of startup expenses). I would [...]

Where have I been this past two months?

spencer — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:59:00 +0000

I just realized the other day that it has almost been 2 months since I last updated this blog. Who would have thought that I would be able to keep a normal writing schedule while I was working 50 hour weeks, but once I became unemployed I would struggle to write something ever few weeks, [...]

I’ve been cheating on my own blog!

spencer — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 16:41:13 +0000

Web-hosting

spencer — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 04:52:41 +0000

Who do people use as a web-hosting company? I am looking to help a potential client with a new WordPress blog and website setup and I am looking for recommendations. I have issues with my current web-hosting service: their apache server is an older version and I cannot do “clean” post addresses. Any recommendations would [...]
