I made my wife a blog / marketing page for her business a few weeks ago as her 'early' valentines day present. The domain name was $13 or so, and using s3 (it's a static generated site) is basically free for how small it is. I decided not to pay 0.50/month for route53 apex support - www. is fine. No SSL. I'm a backend programmer, but it was fun to learn bootstrap 3 and put something together, and run it through google pagespeed :-). It was a good week of effort, along with helping her learn markdown.

That's really sweet. I've always been envious of my talented artist friend who does portraits for girls he's dating. Seems like a good way to save money on gifts :p

  > Seems like a good way to save money on gifts Yeah, it's never about the cost though, and always about the thought... that's hard for me, even after 10 years together....women have a life-long maintenance schedule (romantic and respectful gestures). For you young guys dating: "great Apache warrior always mysterious and never talks about his many ponies". That means don't try to buy a good woman (or brag); they're not for sale. You want to be with someone who's just happy to be with you, even if it's for a free jazz concert. "Is she part of the crew, or part of the cargo?" I could go on, and on, and on... it's all from "The System" in case you were wondering. There are good women out there, so good luck to all of us finding (and keeping) them.
