I just registered at sessions.edu again for the Web Design Master’s Certificate! Woohoo!

I do not yet own a Wii – though I really want one. The local stores don’t have them in stock, so I don’t yet have to worry about the strength of my will power to save some money and resist buying one just yet. If you haven’t played a Wii, I suggest you give it a try. The graphics aren’t the most beautiful and anti aliased – but they’re not supposed to be. It’s just ridiculously fun. Most geeks know that, and are either lucky/geeky enough to already have one, or are just waiting for them to become available so they can buy one.

Setup: Friend/coworker #1 will be bringing his Wii over to our place this weekend so that we can play. Friend/coworker #2 will be bringing his Wii’s controllers and games to supplement what the first friend’s bringing so that more people can play at once. Friend/coworker #3 does not own a Wii.

Friend/Coworkers #2 & 3 are standing around in my cubicle yesterday chatting about the Wii.

F/C#3: “Perhaps you should bring your Wii console on Saturday as well, so that I can steal it and bring it home with me and have a Wii of my own.”

F/C#2: “If you steal my Wii, I will have to feed you your kneecaps. With Alfredo sauce.”

Me to F/C#2: “I will be quoting you in my blog. That was just too great to not quote.”

F/C#2: “Awesome!”

Gotta love geeks.

I couldn’t wait any longer and I upgraded wordpress. I want to redesign the site a bit, so for now I just installed this generic theme – that I actually like very much…

So it’s a bit darker than I’m used to, but I like the layout. Now that I have this installed though, I need to make progress on my other projects – so it might take a little while before I brighten it up a bit.

I think that once I’ve completed a couple of my current projects that I want to sign up for some more online design classes and perhaps complete a certificate program.

The last time that I had attempted it, I had completed a fair number of classes and learned quite a bit. Unfortunately, my life had gotten very, very complicated and I had put my classes on hold for too long. Before things had started to settle back down, my time to complete my classes expired. I’m still regretting that.

I think that’s a fair goal. I have too many projects on my plate right now to be able to take on anything else. But this will only help improve my current skills and help me learn more. I need to get out of this rut that I keep finding myself stuck in. Perhaps then I’ll have enough know-how and courage to be able to start my own design company…
