The People I Know
April 28th, 2008
The people I know, the way I know them and communicate with them has changed tremendously in the last few years. You can argue we've had the internet for decades but the global effect and convenience that Twitter offers, has extended the reach I have with people no matter where they live. I know people that I have never met, nor will ever meet. We carry on conversations through Twitter and yet don't know each other. They are Graphic Designer, Web Designers, Web Developers, Office Workers, Singers, Actors and Actresses and that is just a small sample of the people I follow and those that follow me on Twitter. more »
Time To Address Cyber-bullying
April 23rd, 2008
Rebecca Bollwitt (Miss604) published a great post on her blog today. You should take the time to read Time To Address Cyber-bullying. It's a great read! I came across her post through Twitter.com where I am currently an addict in twittering. I follow a hand-full of people I don't know personally, but I find their interests similar to mine and that is where the entire networking thing comes into play. more »
When It Rains, It Pours
April 18th, 2008
Back in the late 80's my Mother was diagnosed with a brain aneurism which if not treated could rupture, killing her. Several months before that a fellow worker of hers died from one in the office that she did not know she had. It had ruptured. So my Mother had some new surgery performed on her in New York City where they were able to go through her thigh and up into her head where they place a coil that would reinforce the walls of this vein that was bulging out before it exploded and stop if from expanding any more. more »
A Change Will Do You Good
April 11th, 2008
Sheryl Crow said it best in one of her songs… "A Change will do you good". I've finally come around to being motivated enough to actually do something about getting in shape and dropping some of this extra weight I've been carrying around for the past fifteen years. So, I've gone and joined a gym that I pass by every day on the way home from work off of I-10 around Channel View. 24 Hour Fitness isn't just a local fitness center; they have locations throughout the country. Their personal trainers are nice and know what they are talking about too, which is always a plus if you ask me. more »

A Little Spring Freshening Up
April 2nd, 2008
I did a little freshening up of my web site. You know the one you are looking at right now? Well, the color scheme has changed some and I have added some things to it. You will notice my latest tweets for Twitter are posted on the site in the sidebar to the right. No!!! Your other right!
I have also included the 10 most recent songs I've played through iTunes. I am heavily into music so that will be changing a lot. Clicking on any of the songs will take you to that artist on the Last.fm web site where you might be able to listen to them and discover new music. It updates automagically. Also some positioning with margins, padding and typography changes. Nothing else going on, just thought I would mention it. That is all!
