 A Web Designer’s day in Paradise
The tropical sun starts the rooster crowing at about 4:30 a.m. so I am usually up by 5:00 a.m. reviewing what I wrote yesterday and looking at how my web traffic did. Then there is picking which local coffee to make; it harder than you might think! We have over 30 different local coffee growers here each with its own unique flavor. After the coffee decision and writing and editing, it is time for breakfast. Then more work on web design and writing content and off to the local pool for a water aerobics class and "talking story" (that is what locals do here when they talk; they tell stories of things that happened). After returning to the house I check out the web CAM of our local Volcano. It is erupting now so I check to see if there are any dramatic lava flows that I should rush up and video. Long leisurely lunch of locally caught fish I bought at the docks yesterday is next. Then time for a longer nap under a ceiling fan as the tropical breezes blow through the house. It is a good idea to stay out of the sun during mid day here. After I wake up it is time to go to the local farmers market and buy fruit and veggies and then to the dock for more fish. I take my camera around to get photos and videos of people playing music, swimming, and enjoying themselves to add as content on my blog and web site. After all that work, it is time to take another nap and then work more on my web sites. Dinner with a glass (or 5) of the best French wine I can afford and then I watch my favorite Japanese TV shows (we get Japanese TV here and I really like it). Then time for bed to start it all over again the next day.  |
