Move to San Francisco with my girlfriend, legally (we're Canadian). I can start a company w/ US friends that will sponsor me for a visa / work permit. Her situation is the biggest roadblock - she didn't graduate from college (a big strike in the DHS's eyes) and has been self-employed as an esthetician for most of her career. While she'd be open to working for someone else in the US, getting a visa for her will be tou…
I'm trying to figure out: (1) how much time a newborn will actually demand from me and my wife, and (2) how we will fit in all the things we have decided must continue to happen (e.g. me still having a fulltime job, both of us getting regular exercise and a bit of downtime, etc).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
First of all, congrats! I have a three month old, and all I can say is that you just learn to cope. I've realized that some of my goals are going to have to slip for the time being while I care for my wonderful little girl. As for exercise, planning makes all of the difference! I bike to/from work or exercise over lunch, while my wife works out after work while I pick our daughter up from daycare (we alternate days).…
Three month old baby in a daycare? Woah.
Pretty much the rest of the developed world gets 1 year parental/maternal benefits as a social construct.
I'm planning to identify a suitable candidate to get married to, and who is genetically appropriate enough to give me good quality kids, then convince this person to marry me and carry my child, within the next year. Difficult, but I assume interesting.
I'm not sure that it's my most interesting, but I want to someday make robotic fireflies. I'm about to leave the East Coast to go to Stanford, and I don't want to live in a firefly-free world. I thought about trying to import them and have them breed, but apparently most species like humidity and standing water, which the Bay Area isn't too long on. I'm also not sure if they could find stuff to eat out West. So robot…
> I thought about trying to import them and have them breed, but apparently most species like humidity and standing water... Thank you for not doing that. The last person to have an idea like this introduced those god damn Starlings to North America. Mice came here in the same fashion (i.e. human intervention).
launch a web site that brings in enough income that I can quit my day job

Can she be a partner in your company too?
I was a really bad steward for the first half a year, due to crushing lack of assistance and being really demoralized. Lately, I've managed to turn that around, and am currently crushing it pretty hard. 1.0 for Whyday, and then more beyond... things are looking up, but it's a long hard road ahead.
