I’m currently in the middle of packing for a trip to San Jose for a wedding. An uncle on my mom’s side (my mom’s cousin) is getting married.

After this trip, I’ll be stopping by Cincinnati, to spend some time with family and have a trip up into Cleveland. While the Texas trip was cancelled, I still hope to have a change of venue; as in, not spending 90% of the day in front of a computer.

But what made me write this down is… due to my somewhat excessive nature to be efficient, I’ve started thinking about how to pack for a new life away from Urbana, IL. My room has never been more box-able.

I have just two months before the lease runs out. Two months and one day, to be precise. I never thought this far through in the process, because I wasn’t 100% sure where I was going. Would I be a solo developer/businessman? Or will I really go all the way and start a company with co-founders and employees?

And still, I’m not too sure. At least, I know I can stay flexible for at least the next two months. But where to go to stay just as flexible after that period?

Generating revenue would widen my options quite a bit, and I am hoping to focus more and more of my efforts into making HanMeta a reality. I know it’s a small win, but I’ll be having health insurance, starting on the 15th. I’m about 90% happy with the directory structure I have, with all of my unfinished projects and documents and such; Going for that extra 10% is not worth it. The important thing is that I know that’s not effort well spent.

Portland seems exciting. Seattle was amazing. San Francisco/San Jose seems just out of reach, but maybe this trip might change the outlook on that. And yes, all three of these options are on the West Coast. I miss it quite a bit, the Pacific.

Who knows? Maybe I’ll give up in a month, and start looking for a job. In any case, I won’t feel right without having shipped something before I do anything else.
