WordPress 3.0 is here and this site has already been upgraded. I’ve been waiting for this for a while and now I’ll get to fully explore all the upgrades.

Awesome.

Blah

Empire Avenue stock falling. They say if you stay active it shouldn’t drop at all, but I don’t think it’s true!

It’s like you have to devote hours a day to make any progress.

Social Monster

I’ve got a ton of stuff I’m trying to keep up with right now. Rearranging my entire room, keeping up with Empire Ave. demands, I’m trying to refresh this blog, and now I’ve entered a contest for a Windows 7 Phone. I think my application would be immensely useful to millions of photographers, but we’ll see if others agree with me. I’m trying to get as many votes as I can, but the contest is going on for another month! Right now I’m in the #1 rank position, but we’ll see how long I can keep that up. Others are already closing in on me.

Toss me some votes in this contest!

Hey Windows Phone, I Need This App!

This isn’t so hard

I think updating this site is going to be a lot easier now that I’ve taken on the mindset of Twitter-esque “micro” blogging. It’s much easier to get motivated about a blog when you don’t feel like you need to write out 5 paragraphs every time you log in.

I do still want to eventually get back to writing tutorials, though. The last one I wrote (in 2007) isn’t even listed in my archives anymore and still gets hits every single day from other sources. I find that fascinating. I’d like to see if I can get a steady stream of visitors with 3 or 4 more tuts.

Now I just have to find the time for them.

Enjoying 5.1 Sound

Jon — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 04:43:15 +0000

I got my Onkyo 5.1 receiver a few months ago but today it seemed like I finally started appreciating it. Playing music all day (Mayer Hawthorne was my favorite) was a pleasure. I also decided to game a little bit and started playing Blur on the 360. The sound in-game is absolutely spectacular; I was blown away.

Some people may not be able to justify 500+ on a visual/auditory experience. I wasn’t sure about my purchases either. That said, I will never regret it and I’ll never go without it again.

Posting from my TV

Think I just decided to stop using my desktop pc on my actual desk. I got a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and now I’m using my 42″ lcd as my main monitor instead of the puny 27″ monitor.

FTW.

Gaining Influence

This Empire Ave thing is pretty neat. Honestly I don’t know too much about stocks or trading, but maybe this could be a good way to learn? Whatever, it’s just a fun social media game anyway :p

Testing Empire Avenue

Jon — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 11:19:54 +0000

Empire Avenue, along with my need to earn achievements and points that mean nothing to others, has rekindled the existence of this blog. I’ve deleted all previous posts and plan to update as much as I can.
