Family Time!
Just thought I would post some pictures of me and my cousin Katie when we where at my other cousin’s Monica’s wedding (her sister). Isn’t she so pretty? But she is under age so watch out or I may have to put the beat down on you.

Hitting the books…
Because of the project I am trying to develop with my new company I have decided to learn PHP and MySQL. I know very little of PHP so I’m going in for the long haul.
I have started to read “Learning PHP & MySQL” by O’Reilly. It seems to be a pretty good place to start out.
I was going to try to learn ASP.NET but it seem that it is very complicated and very expensive so I’m going with PHP.
Let’s hope it works out.
Zune T-shirts Designs
Ok so I’m a bit bored so I decided to make some mocks for a Zune t-shirt.
Tell me what you think.. there pretty simple but I like them.
This one sports the Zune box color and the logo.
This one shows the connect circle thingy when you want to connect to other Zunes
And God Said.. Thou Shall Have HDTV!
Though the grace of God (and niceness of my mom (I <3 YOU MOM!)) I now have a LCD HDTV. Whoohoo!
On Sunday I went over my moms house for a nice early birthday dinner. She had made all my favorite foods, Spanish Steak, Yellow Rice, Beans, Brownies, and Chocolate Chip Cookies. It was super yummy!
Then after she had two presents for one. One was in a small bag which ended up being some very nice cologne (BTW I have a VERY dulled sense of smell so I couldn’t smell it). Then there was a 1x1x1 foot box. They (my mom and her bf Alex) told me I could either open what was in the box OR pick what was in the spare guest room.
I didn’t know what to do. What would happen if I picked the wrong one.. I would be devastated for the rest of my life always beating myself up for not picking the other one leading me to a life of crime, drugs, and prostitution, and eventually dying in a drug raid in a shoot out with the FBI. This was a big decision which could affect the rest of my life. I had to choose well.
So I choose the box.
Inside the box was a remote control. I said “You guy got me a universal remote?” The all started to laugh my heart plumped knowing I had made the wrong choice and new the the rest of my life would be spent in the company of depression.
Then Alex took me and told me to close my eyes. I asked “What’s going on?” He said “Let see what we got for you in the room..” I thought I was going to pee in my pants.
He took me to the room and I opened my eyes only to see the essence of God himself a 32-inch VIZIO LCD HDTV.
I’m glad I peed before I opened the presents.
My reaction “Holy F*#&ing Shit!”. Then I shut my month quickly before I my mom would slap me for cursing.
So that’s my story.
I love it.. it’s perfect.. and I WILL make great uses of it.
New Special Edition Halo 3 Zune
With the upcoming release of Halo 3 Microsoft will be coming out with a Special Edition Halo 3 Zune. Its basically the same Zune we know and love except it has a nice Haloish theme chases and comes loaded with Halo music, videos and pictures. Nice.. now this makes me want a Zune even more.
Mirror, Mirror On The Wall…
Who’s the luckiest of them all?
ME!
May 24th is my birthday and I will be 24 years old. But you already knew that. What you didn’t know is that I got an early birthday present from my really good friend Chris (Yes! Chris the one that introduced me to the glory that is Xbox 360 and Halo.. which I am saving up for both).
I’ve always had my eye out for for a full length mirror… you know like the ones you see in the clothing stores with the big frame and there nice urban look just sitting on the ground while they lay against the wall. Well I’ve always wanted me and NOW I HAVE ONE!
Chris told me that he was going to surprise me by getting some help from my landlord and setting it up in my place so when I came home I would get a big surprise. But he is like me and was excited to show me so he did.
When I saw it I didn’t know what to say. It is so amazing I have never had anyone be so nice to me. I literally was speechless and the next words out of my mouth where.. “I don’t want you spending anymore money one me… remember you have to get that Xbox 360 (he has also been saving up for one, I was even wanting to buy him one if I had the cash, maybe I will).”
Maybe I should have said something else and maybe that is why I’m making this post to show him how much I appreciate his friendship, how great I think he is and how I appreciate everything he has done for me.
So now now not only do I have a great friend, I also have a great mirror.
Honestly I couldn’t ask for more on my birthday.
Chris Your The Best!
To switch.. or not to switch?
I’m starting to get tired of my mobile phone and service. I currently own a LG Chocolate phone with Verizon service. I do like my phone and Verizon has some of the best coverage I have every had between all the networks I’ve been on but they are expensive.
I use my mobile phone for everything. I don’t have a home phone (I tried Skype but it was a hassle and the quality wasn’t all that great), I have a 1500 min plan with basic text messaging and picture messaging. I have noticed that in the last couple of months I have done a lot of text messaging and picture messaging. This isn’t a great thing because I always go over and I end up paying about 15-20 dollars over what my normal bill should be.
Recently Verizon came out with new plans (I said plan not an add on package to your plan) where you can get unlimited text and picture messaging, something that other companies have had for quite a while now. What really bites is the plan is 20 bucks more then the normal plans AND you have to sign another contract to get on it. Unlike other companies where you can just add it on for 15 bucks a month.
So I’m in a bit of a pinch. Now with all the new live services and that I have started to blog, post, message, IM and email more I want to get a phone where I can do all of that without having to pay and arm and a leg.. like Verizon does. Ya I know I can do all that stuff on my current phone but at what price? 50 bucks on top of my plan cost.. no way and I paying that.
But there could be a solution, have heard of a wireless company called Helio’s?
I have been watching this company for quite sometime and was very interested in it because all there plans include unlimited text, picture, mobile to mobile, Internet, IM, My Space mobile, email, and so on. All part of the price of the package and really if you compare prices its only about $20 more on top of a regular Verizon plan with none of that stuff.
But I never switched because I wanted more… and now they have given more. Helio just released a new phone called the “Ocean” it is the worlds first dual slider phone with a regular number pad and a QWERTY keyboard. It has a huge screen and you can do a lot of amazing things on it. All major IM clients and email providers are built into the phone (Live IM, Yahoo, AIM, Gmail, etc). Also all that is in a nice neat package so if I can look at the contact.. lets say Paul (wink, wink) and I see his email, phone number, and all his IM accounts all on one screen.
On top of that you can go online, view videos, take picture (even add tagged GPS info to the pictures), use Google maps with GPS enabled so you can see where you are. All that and its much cheaper then what I have now.
Sounds great huh.. so what is the catch? Well the catch is that Verizon charges $250 bucks to cancel my contract, on top of that the phone is another $295 (I think)+ activation and all that jazz. Its a bummer because if I want to switch I would have to pay around $500 money I don’t have.
So what should I do?
Maybe I should just deal and not be so spoiled… lol
Looking for Experienced Web Programmer..
About 6 months ago I started a company called “Ecxo Corp”. It’s is a small startup which is going to fuel a project that I have been trying to get off the ground for about a year now.
Though I can’t go into detail about what the project consists of, I can tell you that at the moment I am looking for a freelance Web Programmer to start building the project. We are aiming to hire a young individual who maybe at the beginnings of his career and looking to get on the ground floor of a new company that has the potential to be very successful.
We have pitched our idea to a couple of companies and now have affiliated with After Dark Investments LLC., one of the largest entertainment conglomerates in the southeast, and have lots of other well known companies wanting to become sponsors.
If this sounds like something you or someone you know may be interested in please see the Ecxo web site (www.ecxocorp.com) for more details on what the position entails.
Students are welcome and encouraged to apply.
BTW: How do you like the logo?
Will you look at that…
After 3 months of not going to the grocery store, I finally went and bought everything I ever wanted. You know they say you should by grocery when your hungry.. well there is a good reason for that, you end up spending $140 dollars on food that you want to eat at that moment.
So here are the before and after. If you notice in the first picture there isn’t much of a selection. I was eating ham sandwich’s with ketchup.. but then the bread ran out and I was just having the ham and ketchup.. yummy. Then that ran out so I had eggs for about 3 days.. but that didn’t last long. Then it was hot dogs and that got old really quick.
I knew when I ran out of my Hershey Chocolate Syrup that is was time to buy food. I may be 23 (going on 24 in 2 weeks) but I can’t live without my chocolate milk in the morning. What kind of person do you think I am? A savage. Chocolate is gods gift to the modern world and I will not live in a house without it.
So enough was enough and I had to go get food. I can’t say I really bought food, I basically bought a lot of microwave food and pizzas. But my frig looks mighty full..
Before
After (Yummy!)
BTW: Notice the Nesquik at the bottom.. yummy!
