Long Time, No Post
Yeah, I know - it's been a couple of months since I last posted. I'll quickly bring you up to speed:
- As you may have read in my previous posts, I broke my wrist a couple of months back. I am happy to say that I am cast free and have been for the last month or so. This allowed me to enjoy the tail end of summer and I'm telling ya - Thetis lake never felt so good :)
- I've been quite busy lately with a lot of projects on the go. I recently started working with Shon Taylor of Catapult Imaging Studios. Shon is a brilliant designer/artist here in Victoria and I'm looking forward to our collaboration.
- Eating, sleeping, reading, coding, absorbing, creating, building... Busy, but this is a good thing.
I'll post more soon along with an example of a neat little project I've been working on lately.
Oh - and I'm loving the iPhone. An amazing little piece of hardware.
Anyway, gotta run.
Later.

On Comment Spam and a Fractured Wrist
It looks like I have a fairly serious fracture in one of the bones of my right wrist - the Scaphoid. This means that I'll be sporting a fetching lime green fiberglass cast for the next month or so (sigh).
I thought that I might be able to avoid a cast - having injured myself almost 3 weeks ago now - but I gather that this is one of those bones you really don't want to mess around with. If only I had the ambidexterity of my mother - I never realized how right hand dominate I am before now. Oh well :)
Judging by the stories the nurse told me about those who decline on the cast, things could be worse.
Anyway, I seem to be getting a lot of comment spam - something I failed to anticipate. It looks like I'll have to implement some variant of the 'Turing test' to weed out the spam 'bots. I was thinking maybe a simple question like, "Are you a human?" or maybe captcha's.
Thanks to all those that encouraged me to have my wrist looked at by a doctor and a special thanks to Brittany for putting me in so much pain that going 'castless' no longer became an option. ;)

No Time to Post
I guess I'm a little busy right now (with it being spring and all) so I haven't had a chance to post anything of real interest. I still have work to do on the back-end of this site but little time to do it. I should be able to get around to putting things in there place sometime this week.
We'll see how that goes ;)
