Almost The Weekend: Recap of this weeks events….

Lot’s have been going on this week! I had to shuffle work around this past weekend to get caught up with deadlines, before having surgery on Tuesday. It was a minor surgery from some injuries that I had from the wreck I was in last June. I had my first check up today (post surgery) and everything went well. Looks good and all tests came back clear too. Have to take it easy this weekend, but hopefully by next week I’ll be back to normal and getting started back on work.

In other news

I just finished up a new logo for Blog Carolinas, which is a new soical media event happening in the RTP, NC area this month.

I picked up MarioKart for the Wii but have yet to play it since I’ve had to limit my activity from my surgery.  Hopefully next week I can start playing the game, since by I should be a lot better. I already have a bunch of friend requests and friends codes, so I will be ready to play soon.

I’ve also released a today a new header for the blog. I’ve started thinking about some new ideas for a new theme for the blog too. I want something new, funky  and fresh for the blog. I have yet to commit to a design, but will keep everyone update when I ready to release the new look.

Also signed up for another social media websites, which this one is different from Myspace or Facebook. Why? is because with Brightkite you can see where your friends are, what they’re up to, see what’s going on around you, and meet real-world friends too. So far it’s seems like a pretty cool web service and it’s intergrated with another web service called “Twitter” which is like mini blog posts or updates that you can read from whom you’re subscribed too. Anyhow, if anyone wants an invite to try out Brightkite just leave a comment and a valid e-mail.

I also got a late Birthday present last week, which was a new monitor. It’s a great HD LCD to go along with my old dino CRT. Now I’m back to using a dual setup, which has been nice. Plus it’s super easy setting dual screens for the mac too. I’m waiting for Apple to release the new cinemas displays, which I hope will not be too much longer. Love to finally get rid of the CRT for good, but really want to wait for an Apple Cinema screen.

Below is a nightshot of the new setup & part of the office, where I do all of my work ( designing, coding, drawing etc.)

Well that about wraps up what’s been going on with me this week. Hoping this weekend will be filled with lots of rest, and just maybe some Mariokart playing, but that will depend if I feel up to it.

Shutdown for the Day!!!

Could you go 24 hours without using your computer? On May 3, 2008 many will shut down for the day and not use their desktop or laptops. Why? Because  it’s Shutdown Day, which  gets people to think about how their lives have changed since using a laptop or desktop in everyday life. 

So on May 3, 2008 all you have to do is shutdown your computer for the whole day and find something else to do than be on your computer all day. This time will be great for getting outdoors, or spending time with family and friends. It’s just a day to remind you that there is a world that still exists outside your monitor screen and office.
