Is it Winter or Fall?

I just posted over at my blog at purplestars.com. This post is how Winter has made an early appearance in Western NC this year and an update about my progress of keeping to my new year’s resolution of eating healthily and keeping fit is paying off.

“It’s feeling like Fall here in Western North Carolina. The nights are getting colder and the mornings are frosty. The leaves are changing to bright reds and golden yellows.   Some of the mountain areas, here in NC yesterday even saw the first snow fall of the season. I woke up this morning to it being 28 degrees which is really chilly for NC  this time of year. It feels more like Winter than Fall, around here, but it can only lead to one thing, our temps will get cold now, and be warm again for Christmas, which I hope it’s the not the case this year. I would love to see a nice snowy Winter this year, than a mild green Winter that we’ve saw years past.” [Continued]

Go Pink!

A New blog post I posted over at my blog at Lockergnome.com:

“October Is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and a lot of people are changing their web site’s color schemes to go Pink for October. Pink for October is a web event started in 2006 by Matthew Oliphant. Pink for October is a web event to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research.

As most are aware I  also help out  my  local Komen affiliate: Laugh for the Cure, by donating my time and design knowledge to help with website design, etc.

Laugh for the Cure,® (LFTC) is a grass-roots effort founded in 2002 in Charlotte, NC by a group of friends whose lives had each been touched by breast cancer.  The event has grown into one of the most highly anticipated and unique fundraising events in Charlotte and is quickly spreading to cities across the country! Laughter is the best medicine and the PG comedy shows have universal appeal to all audiences and keep the crowd ‘laughing for a cure’!”

It’s Been a long Week

It has been a long week and started off sluggish, since I was sick on Sunday and most of Monday too. I finally got around to finishing and launching the 2nd portfolio design last night. I still have some more features that I want to add, but decided to release it anyway since I really disliked the last design. The new design is pretty clean, simple and based on a grid type of design too. I thought of using something simple and clean on the portfolio design, because I wanted something super easy for anyone to be able to access and use. Other than finishing up the portfolio design, I have not been doing a lot this week, but catching up on e-mail, since I have not felt that great either. Next week will be full force once again.
