I have been working on a labour of love for about six months.  It is essentially an online family photo album and journal.  I designed it to be configurable and reusable.  I would expect a beta product by summer.  I call it “Hello Sweet Baby”.  That was the message on our son's birth announcements.

Last friday, I finally finished the basic photo album portion of the site.  Now you can assign photos to albums.  This makes it so much more usable.  Rather than forty pics, you can see a few at a time.  I have a lot more work to do but here's the thing... I have been having so much fun with it that I can hardly tear myself away from it.  Whether programming the code or using the site, its a blast.  I hope that my professional life wanders in the direction of a more rewarding work experience.  It seems that most of what I work on has a very short life expectancy.  I always build with great consideration to growth and extension.  Nonetheless, decision makers tend to re-invent their product regularly.  If the company weren't making money, it would be a problem, but the are.  They're making lots of money.  Immagine what they would make if they tapped into the resources that reside in each of their very talented employees?  I see it in all of my peers.  When they get excited, they produce incredible things.  

Then again, what could be more fun than looking at pictures of my son?

well, being at home wth him.  But we have to make money...
