As I said before I have started to log my hours. The main reason for this is because I feel like I’m not getting enough work done. So what better way to see if I’m actually doing work than to log my hours. So over the past week I setup an excel sheet to log…
Thanks for the Beers!
On Tuesday I turned 23 and my buddy Justin was nice enough to buy me a beer! He is only the 2nd person to buy me a beer via the Buy Me a Beer Plugin. When I first implemented the plugin Shawn Knight bought me a beer. My beer of choice is Heinken, in a…
23…That Sounds Old!
Well I turned 23 today and man does that sound old! I remember when all I wanted to was be older, now it’s starting to sound bad! 21 and 22 do not sound that bad, but 23 just sounds old to me. Of course I don’t feel old! And I guess when you get older…
Being Productive Means Being Healthy
I’m sure most of you have had days where you didn’t feel like doing anything. I felt like this all last week. When you don’t feel good or are tired it shows in your work. You get less done, it’s not the quality that is expected of you and because you get less done you…
Watch Me Live!
You may have noticed a link on the top of the page as well as the side of the page that says, “Watch me live!”. That is because I have started lifecasting. Basically I have a webcam on me most of the day. I have been very interested in lifecasting and wanted to see if…
Logging the Hours
So if you didn’t notice this week I have been extremely lazy in updating my blog. It’s not because I have a ton of work or anything like that, it’s just because I have been lazy and unmotivated. It has been really hard to get motivation lately, the weather has been horrible here and traffic…
LAN Party Weekend!
This past weekend I attended Pittco’s Iron Strom 7 LAN party. I have been going to LAN parties since I was 14 or 15 so it was nothing new for me. One thing that was different was that I used to be on Pittco staff. Because I have been so busy with work I decided…

Snorkeling Egmont Key
While in Florida Ashley and I heard about a snorkeling trip, so we decided to check it out. We both had never been snorkeling before so we thought it would be a lot of fun. On the snorkeling trip they take you out to Egmont Key, which was about a 45 minute boat ride from…
Crabby Bill's
While in Florida we went to a restaurant called Crabby Bill’s. Of course it was a seafood restaurant. One thing that was great about it is that it was right one the beach. You could look out the window and see the ocean, they also had an outside deck. Once we were seated I looked…
Finally Home
Last night we finally arrived home in Pittsburgh. Saturday was a LONG day. Before we checked out of our hotel we went to the beach and the pool one last time, knowing we probably won’t see the beach for another year. People who live by the beach don’t realize how lucky they are! Anyways after…
The Week So Far
The week down here in Florida has been really nice. Ashley and I have had a lot of fun! When we got in on Saturday we spent most of the day at the pool / beach. Sunday we rented wave runners. This was the first time I have done and it was really a great…
I Need Sleep!
Well its 7PM here and I haven’t slept since around noon yesterday! As you may have guessed Ashley and I made it to Florida! Our flight from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia was horrible! We were cramped on a 737. If this was my impression of U.S. Airways I would never fly them again! The service was…
At the Airport…
Well I’m posting this from the Airport’s free WiFi. Getting through security and everything was very smooth. We got e-ticket’s through Priceline so we had to go to the ticket counter to get our tickets. They had touch-screens setup where you retrieve your tickets. It was a very easy process. The security line was quite…
