Get Your Run On
Okay so it’s no secret that I run and I’ve been running steadily for a few months now training for the NYC marathon this November. My cousin Bryan’s husband Rich is running and my wife is also running. Somehow we all got into the marathon the same year, lucky I guess.
I am privileged to run with both of them. My wife is fresh off of having a baby in January and is in marathon ready condition already. My cousin-in-law has lost over 200 pounds in about a year. No gimmicks, just hard work. Both of these folks are an inspiration to me and have to remind myself about their successes at times to push me through.

Okay so I decided today to remove my Facebook account (My wife actually put the idea in my head). Why do you ask? Because I don’t need it. It makes no sense to me any longer. Most people I enjoy talking to I do so in person or on Twitter. Twitter makes sense to me, short simple conversations or links to things I enjoy. Facebook not so much.
Facebook got to the point where I just had Twitter post directly to my status updates and I hardly ever did anything on it. It was great to look up past friends and reflect on my past, problem is I got to see a lot of folks from my past are still the same and to be honest I’ve moved on. Not a bad thing, just not me.

Just a quick tidbit of information. This past weekend I launched a small site, a few hour build, that anyone can find my professional and online information.
You can grab my resume, vCard, phone number and find my online at services like Twitter, Facebook, etc. It is an online business card-esque type of page, not a high traffic site.
I may try to build it out further to show some feeds, etc; but for now it is a simple site that allows you to find out more information about me and contact me via email or by phone.

Another Month, Another Job
Yes it’s true, I am leaving my current position as Lead Web Developer at The Journal Register Company and joining the highly creative team at Klunk & Millan Advertising Agency.
I was only at JRC for 2 months and I feel bad about leaving so soon. I had some goals I wanted to accomplish when I first got there but sometimes unplanned events are the best events of your life.
My commute will be cut from 3+ hours a day to 40 minutes. That means my round-trip 100 mile journey a day will be about 38 miles. That is a plus. That is not the main reason I decided to leave but it sure didn’t hurt any.

WordPress vs. TownNews
Note: This entire blog post in my opinion and solely my opinion. Take it for what it’s worth, an opinion.
If you follow me online you’ve probably noticed I have been pretty flustered with the current CMS that I have to use, TownNews. I have been sending a lot of jabber across Twitter recently like:
$time_for_change = ($WordPress > $TownNews) ? true : false;
if ($time_for_change) {
$save_money = true;
$save_time = true;
$faster = true;
}
else {
$save_money = false;
$save_time = false;
$faster = false;
}
I’m a coder, that’s how I think and talk; There is no gray area, it’s true or false. It’s my opinion, but factual and it truly does equate. Time equals money and I seem to be wasting tons of time with TownNews.
