I like the fact that your family supported what you are doing, it is alway great to have family and friend around when needed.

I like the tittle of the second book.

Just Wondering…?

mkjones — I like the title of the second book better.

I actually would like a copy of WordPress For Dummies. I’m fairly certain that I won’t learn much from it, but I’ve always heard that Lisa Sabin-Wilson has a knack for guiding people in using WordPress. I’d like to see how she does it.

I’m still glad my parents didn’t get it for me though.

BoltClock — My family has really surprised me. I think a large part of it has to do with me having gotten some work experience out of college, which leads them to take me a little more seriously about making this decision.

CircleReader — It is a great feeling.

I’ll have to check out your list of recommended authors. I’ll read pretty much anyone’s work, at least once.

Thomas Clausen — Thanks for the Wii recommendations. Now, both my sister and I need to find some time to actually play the thing.

A little advise for your sister. I just re-discovered my Wii with two great games. They can be bought from the Wii-shop.
- Bomberman (a highly addictive game, where you’ll learn a new definition of stress)
- World of Goo (It’s simply a brilliant game by Kyle Gabler)

“I know Christmas isn’t all about money and being able to afford great gifts, but I consider it a blessing because I’m finally standing on my own two feet, so to speak.”

That’s a great feeling, isn’t it?

I’d add books by Paul Hawken, Guy Kawasaki, Barry J. Moltz, Romanus Walter, Saras D. Sarasvathy, and Edward Rogoff to the recommended reading list – but the best support will still come from your family and from your colleagues and fellow web design practitioners. Keep on asking them what they think, how they work, and what they are reading. We all stand on our own two feet with a little help from our friends.

You’ve taken your sites a long way in the last year – best wishes for an equally great 2009!

I’m also glad you’ve had a great Christmas this year. Have a great new year ahead, Justin!

Always interesting when family get involved in business, especially when its an online-web-thing…

Al least you didn’t get “WordPress for dummies”

I was fired from a government department after 10 years and it was like a whole starting over, very scary indeed. Now I make a lot more money than before, but also miss my friends from the old days. I made new ones, but you know what they say, these are silver and all this kind of things.

Cheers and a happy New Year for all of us, may the Web be ours in the years to come .
