How do you know when you are overworked?

Oh I don’t know, maybe its when you can’t come up for air long enough to see your friends, take care of your house, sleep or even open up google reader to keep up with current trends and best practices.

And its not due to overextending myself, it’s just my primary job. You know, that thing that puts food on the table. But nlately, I’ve been working to get things under control.

I’ve even had time to work on a few freelance projects and started work on a couple personal projects I’ve been mulling over for a year now.

So what?

I’ve decided to no longer be just a passenger in the web game.

I’ve been discovering a lot about my favorite JavaScript library jQuery. I’m rediscovering my love for object oriented programming with PHP. And I’m thoroughly enjoying working with friends and co-workers to produce some very nice sites outside of work, and i plan to take all of this and write about it to share with the interwebs so that my trials and tribulations do not have to be repeated by others. And keep an eye out for a few jQuery plugins along the way.
