As Far As I Can Tell

For its fourth birthday I bought my weblog its own domain name. Its little webby pages are happy to finally be first class resource locators. I also moved everything over to a new server, Dreamhost. I plan on hosting all of my websites to Dreamhost now because I couldn’t pass up the amazing deal they’re offering; no more bandwidth problems for me.

Take note that there’s only one feed now since Feedburner will automatically make sure it works for everybody.

Since I’ve last written I completed my online portfolio over at currentform.com and spent the last 10 days of December in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico with my family. Spending Christmas on the beach seemed strange, but not once did I long for the snow.

My first full day back was New Years Eve and the first of year was spent in Chicago visiting with Meredith’s sister who made a surprise holiday visit to the Midwest. Here are some photos from Mexico:

Fearing terrible weather we left for the airport at midnight for our 8a.m. flight. We beat the storm and snoozed at the airport.

Our resort was fabulous: two pools, unlimited food, free drinks, and walking distance from Playa Del Carmen.

I really enjoyed being by the ocean, especially at night.

Our rooms were like little apartments, each with its own porch.

One day we went to the island of Cozumel and rented a VW.

The coastline on the far side of the island is rockier and unspoiled by development.

The Mayan ruins of Chich�n-Itz� showcase the advanced astrological and mathematical knowledge of the ancient civilization.

This sinkhole cave has a tree with roots that stretch 40 feet down to find water. It was really amazing.

Yes, I’m actually wearing shorts.
