Heads Up

I told you earlier that I finally got rid of my old clunker phone, my wife and I upgraded to the Blackberry Pearl 8130, and I have to tell you that it has been one of the greatest months of my life.

At the beginning of July we finally decided that we had had enough with our crappy old phones.  She had an LG 5450, and I had the Kyocera 7135 Smartphone.  Both phones were old and outdated, and we had been looking at possibly getting the LG Glimmer, but I wasn’t fond of the metal case, weight, and sliding screen.  My wife didn’t like the size, but wanted a touch screen.  So after about an hour and a half we finally settled (I finally sold her) on the Blackberry Pearl.

The first day I was like a child again.  So many features and settings and choices that I couldn’t set the phone down.  It has only gotten worse.  I have to admit that I am addicted.  Luckily internet service and text messaging is included in the $89 monthly bill (for one phone), so there is no need to worry about number of texts sent/received or time spent on-line.  I’m not a bragging person, but pretty much everyone was jealous.  Even my wife was jealous after I downloaded vlingo.  So, being the good husband that I am, I took her phone away and installed vlingo (after testing thoroughly on my phone first).  She was impressed and has since used it to send me text messages.

Bear with me as I will be updating and redesigning my site throughout the summer.  I’ll try to keep posts current as I run into obstacles/issues with this process.  Hopefully you will enjoy what I come up with in the end.

Yes, I’ve been a bad blogger. Time has gotten away from me and I apologize. Here’s what’s been going down.

FHSU - I’ve been working on the Fort Hays State University Foundation site. All has gone pretty well. Stressful at times, but it is all downhill from here. The site is live at the time of this writing. Please check it out and let me know what you think. This is the largest redesign that I’ve done so far, and, I reckon, the most successful. Having a long leash is pretty beneficial in web development and the Foundation project gave me the chance to try some new things design-wise.

NEW - I’m working on a project that is just in the beginning stages. Besides the regular work that I do for the company, I am starting to get into some web application management and implementation. I’m pretty excited about this opportunity although a little apprehensive at what’s to come. A short stint in London may be involved. (more…)
