This is my post using my new htc EVO 4G phone. I’m writing this using Swype which is a new easy to input text by swypingfinger instead of pressing all over the keypad.

So far this has been an awesome phone to use. I’m even really liking the use of Sprint over ATT!

Yesterday, I finished reading one of Chris Guillebeau’s manifestos, A Brief Guide to World Domination.  Let me first start out by telling you that you can read this for yourself, free!

Second, this guide is geared for those who want to do more than they currently are doing, to become someone more than they are, and help others in the process.  If that is you, then get reading (less than 30 pages).

It is a great read, and definitely gets you thinking. So go out there, and get your hands on the guide today.

If you haven’t tried out Boxee for your media pc software, then I recommend you get going and try it out. Boxee is fantastic with very easy to use software.  I installed this great piece of work onto my main pc and my home theater pc and it just rocks.  It is able to grab your tv shows and movie files on your computer (or another computer on your network) and actually find out what show it ties to, what episode it is, what season it is for, and also if available online, an image about the show, and a description with a possible rating.  It does this for TV shows and also pulls the box art for movies as well.

Don’t have any shows on your computer…that is just fine, it’ll also list shows online and tell you which link it recommends (whether Hulu, ABC, NBC, etc.).  If you have an episode on your machine however, it’ll recommend that first, then show other locations for the episode available online.  It is also great to watch YouTube videos and others.

I really recommend this software for Windows, Unix, Macs, etc.

It’s quite a funny term to use – however it really is a screen of death.  Thankfully I was able to save myself.  Here is what I did.

…are my heros. Especially Google.

As someone who recently graduated from college (June 2008) and became employed shortly after (August 2008, by choice), the fact that I have Google and other search engines available to me make my life so much easier when developing software.

There are so many different solutions out there on the web that are at the tip of my finger and when I get stuck not understanding a subject or unable to figure out a solution; I’m so very thankful that all I need is to do a search.

This is my thanks and shout out to free search engines!

I’ve decided that I could be of help to those who are wanting to build their own website or blog.

I don’t mind answering questions, so please contact me if you would like any help.

If you would like more than just a few questions answered, then please let me know and I’ll let you know how my prices vary.  From Basics to Complete Awesomeness!

Last night I went and saw the movie, I Love You Man, with a couple friends and my girlfriend. My goodness, that movie was the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in a long time. If you haven’t yet seen it, get out there and watch it ASAP!!!! Totally worth it.

I decided that I finally need to make a new computer.  I got some hookups to create it for cheap, so I did.  If you wanna see what’s inside, click for more.

I picked up BioShock today, and was greatly dissapointed.  Not in the game at all, but in the fact that I couldn’t even play the game.  I bought the PC version, cause I currently don’t own a 360, and my hardware is too old to play the game effectively.  The one problem I’m having is my video card is no longer worth while.  I’d buy a new one, but I’m planning building a new computer, with 2 GeForce PCI Express cards.  My motherboard is AGP, with PCI, so it’s not going to help me to buy one of the video cards early  .

The game is amazing though and this will just make me get my new computer sooner or just go buy a 360…we’ll see which comes first.

I had a great time being toured around Credence this last Friday.  They design systems that test circuit boards and processors.  Pretty fancy test equipment.  We were toured by 2 MECOP students and one of the new employees that work with one of the students.  I got to meet the senior software engineer who was working on a project in Java ( ).  He was working on an interesting project atleast. 

Overall I had a great time and got to catch a small glimpse of the air show that was going on around the city.  Love those things! 

 Enjoy yourself!
