A Look at the New Office
Working from home running your own company is hard to do that job when you are not very comfortable sitting at your computer every day. If you didn’t know I am in Pittsburgh, PA and I run my websites out of my house. I have turned the extra bedroom into an office for. When I first moved in I had the room setup a completely different way than what it is now. Originally I had the 2 desks separated, one in each corner of the room. This really did not work at all, things just became too cramped and my desk was really cluttered. Mainly because I had my 4 external drives on the desk, which was not the best idea. Below is a photo of what my old desk looked like.
The 2010 PC Race For Charity
The PC Race is one of the best events to attend during CES. Not only is it for a good cause, but you really get to network with a lot of people and hell it has the best food! Also it’s probably the only place you will be able to find most of the tech media all in one place! So the way this event works is that 30 contestants all tech media see who can build a computer the quickest with the winner getting $10,000 towards the charity of their choice. Second and third place also get cash prizes for charity and everyone’s computer that gets built does get donated to their charity so it is a win-win!
In Vegas for a Week
Well it’s that time of year again, off to Vegas for CES. This trip is always a lot of fun and it sure gives me a break from all of the holiday madness of the past month. It also is good to get out of Pittsburgh and the cold, although it is only around 50 degrees in Vegas it is sure a lot better than like 15-20 degrees in Pittsburgh, and there is no snow!
My 2009 Year in Review
Wow it’s 2010! Not only a new year, but a new decade! This past year was a very good year for me, there were all kinds of ups, downs, and in between’s. If you have a blog you know how great it is that you are able to look back on things you have done and be able to see the good times, reflect on your mistakes, and just remember some things you may have forgot. So here is my 2009 year in review, hope you all enjoy it!
ThinkComputers now on WordPress!
You notice I have not updated this blog in quite sometime. That is because over the past 2 months I have been working on ThinkComputers like a mad man! ThinkComputers has been run on a flat-file system since I started it back in 2001. We used a simple PHP script to pull pages and help…
ThinkComputers Publishes It's 1000th Review!
Wow just a little while ago back in December I was talking about ThinkComputers 900th review, now ThinkComputers is over 1000 reviews! Making it to review #1000 really means a lot and thinking back over those 1000 reviews it has been quite a fun ride! The site started as my senior project for school way…
The Money Makers 2009 Edition
It has been a while here since I actually talked about how I make money online. It really has not changed much since the last time I talked about it, but here is a rundown for some of the new people who frequent the blog. As you all know I run ThinkComputers, which is a…
I Never Thought the Day Would Come
Just like the title says I never thought this day would come. I started ThinkComputers back in 2002 as just a hobby, nothing I took seriously until my second year of college. From there it became a job to me, but not really. You can’t really call something you love and enjoy so much a…
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…
2009 PC Race for Charity
Every year at CES I make it a point to make it to the Tiger Direct PC Race for Charity. Mainly because it is good to do something for charity and it has some of the best food out of all of the press events during CES. The PC Race is a PC building competition…
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…
