Make my website worth it
Blog is up and fleshing out 3 months ago

I’ve managed to put up a boilerplate welcome page on the main URL and have started adding content to the blog. It’s using Wordpress as the architecture, so things are going up fairly quickly and easily. Wordpress has evolved enough to allow for easy upgrading, modifications, and posting from anywhere. I should have a fully functional blog in a matter of a couple more weeks. It’s live now, despite not being totally done.



buy a mac pro
Not worth it 2 years ago

A mac pro is just too expensive. There is no reason why I need all 8 cores churning away performing some super number crunching. A mac mini running a dual core processor is plenty for desktop computing. People don’t need to have a personal super computer. Besides a mac mini is about 1/5th the cost.



Save money
Everything is set up 3 years ago

401(k), check, high yield savings account, check, IRA, check, income to support all three, check. Ok, it looks like the goal of saving money is well on its way and therefore can be considered completed.
