I have a couple of errands to run this morning, including holiday haircuts for myself and the boys. After that, it’s back home for some brunch. I’m also going to crack open the Dailymuse app to continue working on a new feature for it. Yeah, even on holiday, I’m still writing code.

Last night, I started adding a blog to my website. Managed to get a couple of test posts rendered.

After a few days of the lurgy ripping through the house and taking everyone out, I think we’re all starting to turn the corner and get back to feeling better once again.
Added the standard light set from Game of Bricks to the Home Alone house. I’d say it worked out quite well!
