So it's been decided. Ryan (my room mate and long time friend) and I decided that we are going to make the thousand mile trek to Idaho to hang out with friends and family for a weekend. We're leaving July 9th and will return on the 12th. It's only a few days, but it will be good to see some of the people I haven't seen in so long.

I told you, the reader, and myself that I wasn't going to let this continue to happen. I told us both that I wasn't going to have these gaps in updates. It's already been 3 weeks. Sometimes life gets in the way. My apologies.

In the last 3 weeks I've gone back to work after spending 4 weeks looking for just about anything. I'm back at Rent-Ready which has "expanded" and is now actually 2 companies. The newest addition to Rent-Ready is The Colorado Pad Company. The goal of the pad company is to be a carpet pad distributor to stores and companies. Thus far, we've been selling to anyone.

I've started getting involved with the Pikes Peak Immigrant and Refugee Collaborative (PPIRC). Well, kind of. Nadia suggested to them that I could help them get a website online since the person they had spoken with initially seemed to have flaked out on them. Conveniently on the day that I submitted my ideas the other guy finally came through. I haven't seen his ideas yet. I'm curious. But the PPIRC is going to have me do some print work for them whenever they need flyers printed. I guess it's better than nothing.

On Friday Nadia and I went to see Angels and Demons. It reminded me a LOT of the Da Vinci Code. Good concept, but poorly executed. Oh well.

I introduced Nadia to Rock Band over the weekend. She LOVED it and played until at least 4am. She says her fingers hurt from playing the drums all night. I was surprised to see he get so into a video game since she is always giving me crap for getting so into other things.

I guess that's all for now. I'll update more later!

I've been inspired lately to do a lot more with my website. As it turns out, the version of the content management system I use for this website was more than a year old. So I took the time to update it to the newest release. Talk about a time consuming process...

Anyway, since then I've added some other features to help it be more search-engine-friendly and I've taken the time to add "meta tags" and meta descriptions to all my articles. Next thing will be adding descriptions and the like to my pictures.

I think I'll wait to do that.

I also added a module to the right side of the page that shows my newest addition to Twitpic!
