I really enjoy hanging out with people in the Startup community in Pittsburgh. It is always great to meet new people, talk about ideas and see the cool projects these people are working on. I had actually never heard of Startup Drinks before. The night before I was out and ran in to my friend…
Turning 28…
It seems like only yesterday that I was turning 27, now I am 28! Another year has gone by and lessons have been learned. It seems as I am getting older I always think back to even 5 years ago and those unforgettable experiences, meeting new friends, traveling etc. Missing those experiences really makes you…
Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 2012
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is something that I have always wanted to check out. I am not all that into cars, but being able to see all of the older cars and the race was something I was not going to miss this year, especially since I live so close to Schenley Park where…

First Sunset at Schenley Park
It seems I’ve been at Schenely Park a lot already this summer. I go running there at least twice a week and I have been spending a lot of time at The Porch. I mean I guess it makes sense since I do live within walking distance of Schenley Park. Since I have moved here…
Add Features and Start New Projects for Motivation
When you do the same thing over and over again it can get old and you can become very bored and unmotivated. This has happened to me multiple times with ThinkComputers. I spend my days either making unboxing videos, taking product photos or writing reviews. This is not bad at all, but doing it day…
The Drake Concert
A few weeks ago I had the chance to go to the Drake concert. I actually had not planned on going to the concert, but I ended up winning tickets in a contest. I had two free tickets so why not right? After talking to a few people my 2 good friends Kimiko and Krissy…
5 Things That Have Changed in the Past 5 Years!
The other night I went through and read a lot of my blog posts from back in 2005-2009. If you didn’t know I’ve been blogging since 2005! That is one thing that is great about blogging, you can go back and see what you were up to, it’s like a journal. Looking back on these…
The Porch at Schenley
The Porch at Schenley is a relatively new fixture across the street from the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland. Schenley Plaza is actually one of my favorite places to go for an afternoon, especially in the spring and summer. Before I was really only limited to the food stands that are there, but now I…
StartUptown Pittsburgh
The past few months I usually take one day a week to head over to StartUptown and work from there. StartUptown is a co-working space where many Pittsburgh technology-based startups have their offices. StartUptown says that they are “An urban campus/incubator for technology and social innovation — StartUptown is a nonprofit organization that provides collaborative…
Refresh
If you haven’t noticed I have not been blogging that much at all. Blogging is something that I’ve always enjoyed doing and I don’t plan on stopping. The past few months have been a little weird for me that is for sure! For a while I was having a real hard time sleeping, well falling…

I don’t know about you, but in Pittsburgh St. Patty’s day is a party day for sure! Even if you are not Irish. There are 3 main party spots for St. Patty’s day in Pittsburgh. You have Market Square downtown, Station Square and South Side. Usually you can only make it to one of those…
Wiz Khalifa drops Taylor Allderdice
In the rap and hip hop world mixtapes are extremely popular. They are normally free and allow artists to put out music on a constant basis without having to worry about labels or record deals. Many artists get discovered because of mixtapes and some of my favorite songs are actually from mixtapes. You know five…

Awesome Weekend at FITES LANFest 2012!
It has been quite a while since I’ve been to another LAN Party besides Pittco. I always go to Pittco because ThinkComputers sponsors it and it is in Pittsburgh. My good friend Nik told me about FITES and suggested I signup as a sponsor, so I did and this past weekend I headed to Mechanicsburg,…
