The new year arrived with some very cold weather. Monica and I froze our toes as we watched fire­works over Prospect Park. Then it was back to the apart­ment for some relax­ation. And some JavaScript. I’ve made more progress on my custom Google map – although not without an equal or greater amount of frustration.

The new year also arrives with new projects. I have about two weeks to design a poster for the Chi­nese New Year. There is the con­tin­uing work on this blog tem­plate and my custom Google Map. Monica also brought up some­thing new today: a web­site for tracking exer­cise. She’s not happy with the cur­rently avail­able options online, so she fig­ures we should create our own. It will be a sig­nif­i­cant under­taking; I don’t know how to do many of the tasks that are required to build the kind of web­site she’s inter­ested in having. But, it will be a very good oppor­tu­nity to learn.
