That’s Sunday at my house. Of course, the creativity part is usually me fawning over someone else’s brilliant ideas.

I am in the process of updating my site, this blog, and moving all of the accompanying files from one host to another. I may lively largely in my own head, but it appears I spend most of my time in the right-brain, as I am woefully mired in SQL databases and faulty connection strings. […]
