Being home, my job, and Web 2.0

I think this has been my favorite Christmas vacation to date. Suprisingly, my schedule is nearly as crazy as it is at school. I still go to bed at somewhat rediculous hours most of the time. The best part about home is being able to sleep in my own bed - the twin bed in the dorm room can get old real quick. I’m happy to have shelter either way!

This past week, as the holiday decorations get put away I’ve been hammering away mostly on two Normal Kings projects: (1) new functions for Theatre Lives, Connecticut’s favorite website for musical theatre, and (2) Middletown Revival, a website to showcase Max Baldwin’s exciting new property. It’s cool, I am grateful for the fact that I am able to work my own hours and at random locations. I’ve been getting my work done down at Brew Baker’s a lot of the time during this past week.

I don’t spend as much time surfing the net as I used to, because I work on my computer so I’d rather not be sitting at it while not at work. But a part of me is still a tech geek so I thought I’d tell I’d list a few websites that I actually enjoy: TechCrunch, Half.com, Facebook, Myspace, Hotornot, Pandora, Wikipedia, Pollstar, TomGreen.com, Netvibes
