What I’ve Been Up To

As I'm sure you've noticed I haven't posted in a long time and I wanted to give you an update about what I've been up to. It's been a pretty busy summer for me and some really cool things are going on and coming up.

First, I love the iPhone 4. It was definitely worth the nine hour wait in line at my local Apple Store. With that being said, I did smash the screen last weekend. For those of you who know me I'm sure this really isn't very surprising. I've had 12 iPhones and seem to break them almost immediately after buying them. Luckily this time it's still usable (minus the occasional shards of glass in my fingers) and I'm going to try and go in and beg for a replacement. It's worked before!

Second, I am with a new company, StudentCity. Here's a little information about them:

At StudentCity, we're dedicated to helping you celebrate your college years through travel. In fact, it's all we do. We specialize in providing you with The Ultimate Spring Break Experience with all-inclusive packages, ultra-exclusive incentives, flexible payment plans and more at the lowest prices. And we're with you every step of the way. From the planning stage to the travel stage and beyond, our team of travel professionals will do everything we can to ensure you have an unforgettable Spring Break vacation experience.

It's a very cool company to work for. It's also a bit of a change for me too. Instead of doing development I am doing internet marketing. As much as I love coding it's a nice change to get back to marketing. Back when I first got involved with the web over 11 years ago I was in marketing, and it's very cool to be back. If you're a student looking to go on spring break be sure to check us out!

Third, I am working on a very cool side project that I hope to be launching soon! It's currently in the stealth stage so I can't tell you too much but development is moving very quickly so I'll have more information soon.

So that's what I've been up to these last couple of months. What have you been up to? Anything fun? Exciting? Let me know in the comments!
