Yet another plan

In February Janel's income goes up and it'll be right on the border of enough to support the family. We have money in the bank, but it'll be burned by then ( we've been burning it for awhile. ) So we're finally taking some of the "free" school money. We'll be proud Americans. With Janel covering the financials I will no longer need to both take care of the kids and pull $20K a year out my ass.

Which is good. Since I got back from Australia all the jobs I have taken were just to have an income. Shit. Most of my projects in that time have been directed towards being a way of having an income so that I could work on real projects. I'd get a job for a year or two and then spend the next year failing at making money and then have to go back to a job again. Taking a job always just ended up being a set back. The Ageia gig was particularly a bad plan. At the time I had the fastest and most robust physics tech around. Not that I would of built a company around it because that takes money ( though I should of), taking that Ageia job killed any of its potential. Of course when Havok was sold for $110M to Intel and Ageia for $35M to nVidia that was particularly "funny."

Anyway.

So the new plan.

1. Ship ShapeManiac for the iphone.
2. Give up.

I am no longer going to pretend that I have time enough to get anywhere on anything. It's just the same damn cycle over and over again. It just pisses me off.

I'm not really sure what I'll do with all those superfluous hours. I can always do nothing and go to bed at 9pm. Maybe I could take up the Wisconsin lifestyle and drink a 6 pack after "work." Maybe I could be ambitious and do both. I like to be ambitious.
