A Look at the New Place
I showed you guys some pictures of the new place about a month ago. I have been so busy over the past few weeks that I haven’t had time to take pictures of the new place, but I promised I would do a before and after. I really like the new place, even more than…
Happy Easter & Contest Reminder
I wanted to take the time to wish all of the readers of my blog a very Happy Easter. I hope you all have nice dinners with you families. I will be spending most of the day at my parent’s house. Since I now live further away from my parents it is nice to take…
Pittco 8 Weekend!
Well I took a few days off from Blogging to have a little fun. This past weekend was Pittco 8, Pittsburgh’s largest LAN party! Last year I talked about going to the event and this year was just as fun. As I had said before I used to be on Pittco staff, but because of…
Don’t Tell Me How to Run My Business
Sorry to my regular readers for this post it’s just something that I need to say. Last night I was going through my list of blogs I check out on a daily basis and I wanted to check out what one of my friends has been up to. Since he isn’t in my blog bookmarks…
Sakkio Japan
I don’t go to the mall that often, only when I need to get some clothes or pickup a new video game or something like that. I have lived in the North Hills area all of my life so the mall that I would always go to is Ross Park Mall. I’ve seen it go…
The First Dollar
Everyone knows the tradition, frame your first dollar. A lot of times you see them hanging in local restaurants etc. In the online world there is no such thing since we get paid via check or direct deposit, but it is funny to think about making that first little bit of money online. I’ve only…
Starting Your Day off Right
Some people are morning people and some are not, but even if you are not a morning person you should start off your day right. If you have a slow start then you will end up getting less done and you will feel like crap too. I do a good amount of my work in…
Moved In…Sort Of
Well like I said in my previous post Ashley and I moved into our new place this weekend. We signed the lease on Friday and moved some things in that day, but the big moving day was Saturday. We have a lot of large furniture so we hired movers, but they were not from a…
A Busy Week
This week has been extremely busy for me. If you didn’t know I am moving this weekend. Ashley and I decided to move because it’s not worth wasting all the money on a townhouse when it is only the 2 of us. Also she wants to live closer to home. So after 2 full days…
Checking Out Yahoo Live
As some of you know I sometimes lifecast on Justin.tv. I really like the Justin.tv service, I’ve been with them since beta and they have really made a lot of improvements since that time. All of the chat features and video features are something that you won’t find with other services like this. I also…
Getting People to take you Seriously
If you are starting any new type of business and you are dealing with customers or other businesses sometimes it can be hard for them to take you seriously, especially if you are starting an online business. This happened to me when I first started ThinkComputers. I was about 16-17 when I started the site…
Lunch at Sushi Tomo
Over the past year I’ve gotten a real appreciation for Japanese food. I had my first Sushi back in 2006, but never really started eating it on a constant basis till about 4 months ago. After having amazing Sushi in Las Vegas from Social House and Nobu Ashley and I needed to find some good…
Super Bowl Thoughts
I’m not really a football fan, I mean I can sit and enjoy a game on TV, but I’m not a die-hard fan. Even though I rarely watch football I had to watch the Super Bowl, it is the biggest football game all year so it is going to be a great game and of…
Motivation From CES
Besides all of good times at the parties and events during CES the thing that I took away most from CES was motivation. I have been working on ThinkComputers since 2001 and I wouldn’t have imagined that it would be my full-time job that actually pays well and I enjoy doing. I proved to a…
