We’ve had the mattress for a long time now, but we’ve been waiting forever for the bed. Today, it finally arrived.
Finally, the arrival of the new bed

Catching up on some books
January 10th, 2010 — Project 365
Instead of playing video games, I decided to catch up on some reading / note-taking. I’ve been focusing on the Personal MBA list for a long time now, but am only about a tenth of the way through because I’m constantly grabbing other books outside of the list as well, as seen in this stack of books (only one out of the three is on the list). And of course, books and reading material on software development often come first anyway.
* The Dip by Seth Godin
* The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach
* Crucial Conversations by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler
Abstract wine glasses
January 9th, 2010 — Project 365
To represent the numerous nights we had people over during the holidays. They were great times, and we’re looking forward to hosting people more often.
Hot wings
January 8th, 2010 — Project 365
Sarah felt like some Buffalo Wild Wings earlier today. I didn’t. We ended up grabbing some late at night after 10pm, when the wings are much cheaper. Good, but Wing Stop is so much better.
During the eating of the wings, I started playing a documentary about Scrabble tournaments: Word Wars. It was pretty good — worth watching if you’re interested in Scrabble at all. My recent addiction with Words With Friends led me this far.
Words With Friends (Scrabble)
January 7th, 2010 — Project 365
I discovered Words With Friends today on the iPhone and have been playing it practically non-stop. My username is justajot if you have an iPhone, like Scrabble, and want to play against me. Be sure to send me a message!
Self Portrait
January 6th, 2010 — Project 365
It’s been cold for the past couple days, and it’s only going to get colder. Because of that, I haven’t been outside much, which explains the stream of photos of the indoors.
I got this mirror and hung it as a gift for Sarah for Christmas. It’s from wrapables.com.
Chocolate
January 5th, 2010 — Project 365
Because I haven’t done too much else lately, other than eating. I probably eat too much of this, but that’s only because it’s delicious.

January 4th, 2010 — Photography, Project 365
I spent a lot of time uploading past iPhone work to Flickr today, so I thought it only appropriate to upload an iPhone photograph for my daily photo. I spent a few minutes revising my iPhoneography process. Not that I had one before. But now I do.
I use to do everything straight from CameraBag, but now that I own and use a few other photography apps, I decided today to start using the regular camera app first and then process. For example, this image was made with the Apple camera app first, processed with Best Camera to add the jewel filter, and then ShakeItPhoto to add the polaroid look. Above is the final image
A day at the Modern
January 3rd, 2010 — Art, Project 365
I visited the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth today with my mom. This is a view looking out into Fort Worth from inside the museum. Afterwards, we visited the Amon Carter Museum as well. I’m looking forward to visiting both with Sarah soon.
Solving the Rubik’s Cube
January 2nd, 2010 — Project 365
I’ve always wanted to learn how to solve a Rubik’s Cube, and today I did. I wrote down the solution algorithms in an attempt to commit them to memory. The solution comes from a WiiWare game by the name of Rubik’s Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH. I’m through 33/66 of the regular game puzzles … it was well worth the money.
