Well as many of you know I was in Las Vegas for CES, but also Affiliate Summit West was going on towards the end of our stay in Vegas. I debated on whether to attend the show or not, but I decided against it because I was already crushed with work for ThinkComputers. I know…
The CES 2009 Swag
If there is one thing you always walk away with from any trade show it is swag, free goodies that companies give away when you come to their booth to look at their products. Looking back at what all I got last year I probably got half as much if not less this year. The…
The Night Before CES Party
One thing that is always great about CES is the parties. Every year that I’ve gone to CES I’ve attended the night before CES party. This year it was hosted by Redux, Futurelooks, and Techware Labs. They picked an awesome place to have the party too, on the 56th floor of the newly-built Palms Place…
Finally Back From Vegas
Wow what an amazing week I’ve just had. If you didn’t know I was in Vegas for the Consumer Electronics show. I love going to CES, not just for the show, but to just get away. When I left Vegas I was wearing at t-shirt and it was sunny, when I got into Pittsburgh it…
New Setup!
You would think that my computer changes all the time, but it really does not. My main (work) computer relatively stays the same and I used 2 other test machines to test out computer hardware. I do this because if something happens to my main computer it limits how much work I can get done….
A Weekend Off and Some Fun
Well I decided to take this weekend off from work, I really needed it since I usually always work the weekends anyways. My friends and I had been planning a trip up to Penn State for a while now. A few of our friends go there and we really wanted to go to a football…
Get Out and Vote Today!
Well today is the big day, the day you can go out and make a difference and vote! Honestly I hate politics, mainly because a lot of it is BS and it causes things like this to happen, which makes me wonder what is wrong with some people in this country. But as you are…
My First Game of the Season
As most of you know I’m a huge hockey fan! Hockey is my favorite sport and I usually make it out to 4 or 5 penguins games a year. Usually I don’t go till later in the year but my friend Brian was nice enough to invite me to the game against the Flyers, of…
Seriously, Don’t Vote
Someone sent me this video on YouTube the other day. It is quite funny and definitely catches your attention. The video was made by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and was created to engage and inspire young people to register and vote in the upcoming election. The video includes appearances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin…
No Power
Well I have been without power for at least 2 days now. The outer bands from Hurricane Ike ran through Pittsburgh a few days ago bringing with them some very heavy wind storms. These wind storms knocked out the power of course but also downed many trees, which was evident the next morning when I…
The Evolution of My Desk
Even since I got my own computer I’ve always had a “workstation”. I always liked having a workstation instead of just a regular desk. When you have a good working environment you tend to get a lot more work done and it is sure nice to be working on a nice clean desk then a…
Turning 24
Well last Thursday was my birthday and I turned 24. I know 24 is not that old, but it sure felt different then turning 23. I guess this time I really thought about what I have done so far in my life and that it has been 5 years since I graduated high school. Also…
Friends in Business
If you are in any business there is one thing for sure, it is good to have friends within that business. I’m not sure I would be doing what I am doing without some of the people that I have met in this business. You cannot be in business alone and by yourself. In my…
CST Mountain Adventure
This past weekend a group of about 10 of us from CST headed up to Laurel Mountain to go camping. I really haven’t gone many places this summer and I have been working pretty hard so it was good to just get away, although I did bring my laptop and EVDO card. Luckily for me…
24 Hour Business
If you run a website or your own company it is always on your mind. I find myself thinking about work when I’m at the gym, when I’m driving home, and even before I go to bed. Even though thinking about work is a good thing if you are always thinking about work it can…
