aleggUp and New Projects

Just finished a project I've been working on for the past 3 months. A website for a start up in the states. They're called aleggUp. They're specializing in helping high school and college students gain some focus on what they want to do professionally and otherwise. Check it out if you have a chance.

With all my focus on aleggUp I've neglected some other projects. I don't regret taking the contract. It was a good experience. I have two personal projects I'm hoping to start working on full steam here shortly. A satirical music/scene review site. I don't want to say much more than that. I'm still working out the specifics. I'll post more when the plans are bit more firmly laid. I'm also working on a start up of my own. I've been considering starting a company of my own for a while. Still doing some research. Trying to find out what I need to know to even accomplish this. All the basics, what forms I need to sign and such, what I need to register, what type of company I want to establish. It's going to be a design company, which there certainly aren't enough of, am i right? But, I'm trying to decide on inc, llc, that sort of thing. Got advice? Send it my way, pdukes (at) pauldukes.com.

Like every father before me, my daughter is amazing and beautiful and cute and the 2nd most important person any my life. Sorry sweetie, mommy comes first. It's been kind of hard having all of this work and so little time to spend with her. We go on lots of walks. It's a good way to get all of us out of the house. My wife is on leave for another 9 months. Not to brag, but I'm in heaven. We went shopping and bought a new Ergo. It's awesome and should be great once the snow decides to start sticking. We don't like using a stroller. It's more cumbersome, and Elsa prefers hanging off my chest like a little monkey.

Quick Update Between Feedings

I've been away for a bit. And by away I mean extremely busy. I picked up a few new contracts. I will be posting more about in my current projects section whenever I have a spare minute. I don't know when that will be though, because my daughter was born on Sunday, YAY, so I'm usually spending spare time with her.

No updates on my jQuery quest, but Lynda.com just posted an essentials tutorial that I plan on doing whenever I can get one of those now elusive spare minutes. Also, I was wrangled into signing up for Plurk.com so feel free to friend of fan me if you use their service.
