The Sunday Post 50

Wow, the big five-o! Makes me want to surf or book somebody.

Updates, Upgrades and Uniques

I’m starting to serious wonder about my resume writing skills. No kidding, I have sent over 40 copies out in the last 3 week without so much as a nibble. Working on a re-write this week, but if anyone has any tips or pointers, please feel free to leave a note below.

As soon as I hit Publish here, I’m going to the gym. This is worthy of posting since I haven’t been since the weekend before MTTS. I managed to catch something that week and was congested and 1/2 deaf (yes, again). It’s finally cleared up, so I’m going. 3 weeks is a long time, and it’s going to be tough getting back into it.

Secretly, I want an iPhone. Not so secretly I don’t want to be an AT&T customer.

I’m still upset about missing the New Media Expo. Cool stuff happened there from what I could tell from the tweets and video posts I saw. I’ll have to try again next year.

I am extremely pleased with the way the new sites have turned out. And the redo on WRR (if you haven’t noticed). Helps keep the self confidence up. All new sites should go live this week.

I have a feeling a new computer will be purchased in the next couple of weeks. It will be for either myself or my Grandfather. I hope it’s me. 15″ MBP or 20″ iMac would be keen. Not sure I want to edit video or help Grandpa relearn his computer with Vista. And, since I will be doing all of the editing…

I hate that Wordpress releases a dot update a month after a new version. I need to figure out how to script Transmit to handle that all at once. Also not happy that the photo feature of “Press This” still doesn’t work for me. Although, they said it’s fixed for IE7.

I have a baby shower and wedding happening in the same weekend. One Saturday, the other on Sunday. Oh, and they are 1,000 miles apart. Wedding wins if I can swing it, otherwise a trip to Vegas will be in order.

Which would be good, since I need to get to the resort for maintenance and checking of things. Big upgrade might be coming their way after the first of the year.

Church bus full of screaming kids just drove by. That was weird.

Just so you know, you can count yourself among the 1,500 or so w(t)f readers. Sure, not huge numbers, but I’m still fairly pleased. Thanks for stopping by. Don’t forget, you can subscribe to get the posts easier. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know if there is something worth click back about.

After I take the new sites live, I will be able to get started on The Hollywood Car Show site. Go ahead and click it if you want, should be a placeholder page there. I think by the end of the week it should be up and running.

Ok, that’s it. Time to start my day. Have a great Sunday everyone!

The Sunday Post XVIV

Been a full week since I have posted.

I was a little off this week. I started to notice a certain technical bent in my posts of late, and I’ve been trying to find something else to post about, just to break things up.

Sure, I could have posted a rant too, but why be so negative? I was looking for funny. No dice. And trust me, it was not for my lack of trying.

You would think I would have something good to post right? I mean, it rained. In SoCal. I know I know, that’s just crazy talk you say. But for reals, it rained. I’m sure the news channels were on full on storm watch too, but I haven’t turned to TV on all weekend, so I wouldn’t know. Also decided to not do too much driving to avoid the idiots that totally freak out because a little bit of water gets on the ground.

I have a very busy month coming up. Car Wash Convention in 2 weeks (yes, I’m taking my camera this time) followed by a trip out to Mom and Dad’s for some way overdue maintenance. Then, back to Vegas again for SEMA. Yes, Paul (and you too Josh ), with my camera. Yes, there will be booth babe shots. Don’t worry, I’ll totally hook you guys up. Heck, I’ll even look for a bit of beefcake for the ladies.

Throw in some Street Tuner Challenge stuff, maybe a magazine shoot and a live show at WRR on October 4th (tip: get you a free account at TalkShoe) and finally the Portable Media Expo next week.

So, yea, I’ll be pretty busy. But don’t worry, know that I have internet with my not-an-iPhone phone, I’ll be able to post goodness from just about all of these events, including photos. So keep an eye out!
