Jason kidded that he could make a better version. I kidded back a really great domain name.<\/p>\n<p>I saw his eyes literally light up. &#8220;That&#8217;s great!&#8221; he said. And it was on.<\/p>\n<p>We had made plans to finally have dinner at <a href=\"http:\/\/scupsintheharbour.com\/\">Scups<\/a>, so he grabbed a small notebook and we started plotting a new website to build.<\/p>\n<p>We spent the whole dinner talking over each other and writing down notes. What&#8217;s the workflow for building this? Is that a feature you need right away, or could that be part of the second round of work we do? I don&#8217;t think people would bother with that thing. How do we keep spammers out?<\/p>\n<p>(I&#8217;m spoiling all of this by not telling you any details. Sorry!)<\/p>\n<p>By the time our food came, we had a really solid plan for a site that could build in a matter of weeks, and this time (as opposed to previous ideas we&#8217;ve had), it had a tiny bit of a revenue generator built in. (It would nice if we could recoup that server expenses.)<\/p>\n<p>When we got home, I started in on a UI design for each of the types of pages (index page, sign-up page,etc.), and Jason set up the domain and &#8230; did a bunch of stuff I&#8217;m actually not familiar with, but has to do with the back-end of how the site would function.<\/p>\n<p>See? That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re so awesome together. I bet other couples have their own version of this, in the medium they&#8217;re versed in: Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera painting, our friends Jill and Adam building houses, The White Stripes*.<\/p>\n<p>If only our daughter could be all the best parts of us working together. I&#8217;d comment out the need for glasses, and change the CSS so she&#8217;d have a fighting chance at not being of medium height only.<\/p>\n<p>*Technically, they&#8217;re ex-spouses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the things I love the most about my partner\/sig.oth.\/hubs\/spousal unit is that we&#8217;re kind of like Transformers.
