Have you ever noticed how a lot of things seem like a good idea late at night.
And then you wake up the next day and think, "Oh man, what did I do that for?!?"

Miami Rents Wildly Unaffordable
As if on cue, this came across my news feed today:
Miami Rents Are Wildly Unaffordable for Average Residents It's true. When I lived there rent alone was more than half of my monthly income. What surprised me about the article is that the percent of rent to income for San Francisco is lower than Miami. I don't want to move to San Fran, but I was considering California since I already did Florida. And California is a great place to be for tech jobs. I'll have to keep looking.

Getting that urge to roam again
I've been thinking the last few days... what if... what if I moved back to Miami?
There's really nothing for me here. And I think if I went this time I could at least get a good job since I am in school now. Last time it was pretty bad because I was stuck in minimum wage jobs and that is pretty brutal there.
But I was thinking the other day that Miami is a great place for technology, so maybe it would be a good place for me to go for web development and software development. I would want to have at least my Associates completed before I go. And then I can complete my Bachelors at one of the schools there or take online classes here. The more I think about it, the more it seems like a really good idea.
So many things have popped up in the last few days that put Miami in my mind. My supervisor at work had a frog on her desk. It looked familiar so I asked her about it. Sure enough, it was a coqui frog! And then I was craving Cuban coffee yesterday and then today I read that David's Cafe is closing :'( I can't believe it!
I have to think about it. But I am really feeling the pull to go back. Or go somewhere. The wind is blowing again. It is calling me. It's time to go.

Working on a new website!
You know that means I'm happy.
I have a new obsession! I am putting together my new site tamisweitzer.com and I am having a blast!
It's going to be a little bit crazy. In the process of building the site I am breaking a big rule in web design that says you should only have one topic per site. On my webpage I am going to combine all of the different things that interest me. So there will be a very large section devoted to web design and computer programming. There will also be sections for photography, knitting, and autism. There may be more later. We'll see.
For now it's keeping me busy. Soon I will be doing a complete redesign of FoxValleyLive.com. The old beast is in need of some fresh paint. I need to rewrite the page so it's dynamic and easier to maintain. Long range plan is to have it set up so any one can update the calendar, making it even more useful.
Through all this I am in class all day training for a new job, and at night taking CS50 with David Malan through Harvard's OpenCourseware classes on iTunesU.
Definitely staying out of trouble ;)
