wordpress by email.

Wow. Very cool. After several months of wanting to get around to setting up writing posts via email, I finally set it up. Now I can blog from my phone while on the train, in the car, etc. Sound cool? Set it up too! [tags]WordPress[/tags]

appreciation.

On my way home from work today, while in deep thought on the train, I came with something I thought I would share. “Appreciate things (people/places/things/situations) for what they are”. What made this come to mind? Dealing with difficult people, stressful situations, and a letter from a friend. But how do you deal with these […]

2006 Orange Bowl

I have 80 episodes in total in the first 2 collections. There are twenty-three collections in all…who needs cable? I am excited to compare the 2 series. When […]

2005 in Review From My Perspective

Both build character. 2005 Technical Things to Note: I delivered six new web sites (2 with over 1,000 members) (3 used Content Management Systems) this year I brought […]

I decided to take today and tomorrow off from my 9-5 job today. Why? To relax? No. To finish up the painting that still needs to be done? No…hmm, I almost forgot about that. SoCom 3? Nope. I woke up at 730am, and have been working ever since. I took a few minutes to eat […]
