Well I finally bought the computer to replace my 20″ iMac G5 (that I sold over 6 months ago). I went to the Apple store today to purchase a new 24″ iMac. Let me tell you Cory’s advice was dead on. Getting a 24″ was well worth it, lots of space on the desktop etc. The one negative is how much physical desk space it took up. Oh well, a sacrifice I am willing to take.

Also for anyone who didn’t know, I have left UCF and am now working for a very creative web development company, NFi Studios. I have been there already 3 weeks, and I feel right at home. I work with some pretty remarkable people, who take great pride in the end product, and know how to have fun doing it. So overall life is great! BarCamp Orlando is coming up, so if you are into that kinda stuff, get your butt out there. Also the release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 is coming up. Lot’s to do this month and next. I hope to update some, in a bit.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while…

Marching Knights are leaving on the 26th to goto Memphis for the Liberty Bowl, which is very exciting for me, since I get to go. Life is good, enjoying the holiday break.

Check out Yahoo Pipes if you have a chance and are a RSS Feed person. It is really worth the time.

Back to work!

So after a win against NC State, I am really psyched about the first game in BHNS (Bright House Networks Stadium). It is the coolest thing ever to realize that we are opening up a BRAND NEW STADIUM, and this really is a once in a lifetime event. I do have season tickets this year in section 114 (home side) but I will not be using them (my family will). I get to be with the band this entire year. I hope everyone who can comes out to the game. It is a sold-out game I do believe. But there are always tickets somewhere.

Besides that life is good. School is going good.

Sorry that I have been so busy as to not write. Here is an update.

• I sold my iMac G5. It was about time to update it, and I found a buyer, so I sold it. I am currently waiting for some more funds to become available, and then I will order my new Mac Pro system.
• Summer Semester ended, so there was school work to do, studying, etc. Glad it is over.
• Band camp is around the corner, so we have been busy at the MK Office getting ready for the season. We will be over 300 members at this rate. So it is very exciting times.
• Got a new laptop. My MacBook Pro kept on getting dim spots on it, so I called Apple for the 3rd time, and they wanted to replace the screen again, like they had did the past two times. This was not acceptable, and since I didn’t have my iMac anymore, I wasn’t about to go without a computer for 6 days. So I called Customer Care and told them that the Tech Rep was less than helpful, so they overnighted me a brand new machine, with the updated hardware.

Besides that all is good, going into my graduating semester. WOO!

Well convention is over and the following things happened:

• Met the Boston Brass again.
• Celebrated Cristina ‘Nasty’ Venturini’s birthday (3 times)
• Saw Ian (not for very long)
• Met new people etc.

It was a fun convention from what I was able to go to. But I am disappointed in not being able to spend more time with some of the brothers that I don’t get to see ever. Oh well. I will post pictures soon.
