Life In Neutral – Season 2

Josh — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:47:58 +0000

The new season of Life In Neutral is live. We are not starting the actual game until Monday, but everyone is rip-rearing to go. We have quite a few more players this time, but we’ll see how many last. You wouldn’t think 90 days was much of a commitment, but some people just can’t handle it. Hopefully everyone will stick it out and it will just continue to grow. It’s a pretty simple concept and can be fun keeping tabs on everyones’ progress.

Come check it out and comment as you see fit: Life In Neutral

Life In Holga

One of my christmas presents was a brand new Holga 35mm camera. It’s essentially a plastic toy that can take photographs, but I love it. It produces some very artistic photos due to it’s simplicity. So far I’ve gone through two rolls of film, but haven’t gotten too many decent shots. It’s a little tricky in low light and I’m still finding it’s groove. That and it’s quite expensive to shoot in film when your so used to digital.

I’d like to shoot a roll or two a month, just something to keep the creativity flowing. Here are a few of the more interesting shots from the last few trials:

I updated my calendar plugin the other day and just noticed that the styling is all screwed up. Darn! I’ll take a look at it this weekend and try to get some more items tightened up on this here website.

I really need to plan some type of update schedule to keep things current, but I find it hard sometimes to post on the website. Not that things aren’t going on in my life, but just stuff that would mean anything to everyone else. I would rather post nothing, then post random dribble just to say I have a website.

Kinda like I’m doing right now. Darn!

It’s Now 2010

I celebrated the new year in South Lake Tahoe with friends. My girlfriend and I both celebrated birthdays over the weekend, which made it even more fun. So far it’s not so different, except I keep writing “09″ in my dates. I’m sure that will happen for awhile to come. Quite allot happened over the last year, which I won’t get into here, but I’m excited for the new year and the possibilities it will bring. I have quite a few plans, personally and business minded, so let’s get on with it!

Happy New Year to all!

Looky Here

Wow, I haven’t added anything new around here in quite some time. Life has been busy these past few months. Some really good, and some really bad things have happened, but that is life after all.

I will be making this website a priority for the new year, at least to keep active on it, not that it needs to be updated every hour, but I would like to keep it current with things. No more month long intervals where I update nothing. Stay tuned!

Home Ownership Again

Josh — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:44:11 +0000

I’m finally in my new place and I love it! It will be two weeks tomorrow and still happy with everything, the location, the neighborhood, the house. I will be moving things around allot with the construction that I’m planning. I’m going to open up a wall here, redo some flooring there, you know, normal home owner stuff. My list of things to do is ever growing, but I’m just going to take my time and keep checking things off.

You can take a peek at some of the before photos here.
