Isabel’s Hope Endowment

This past Saturday I visited some very good friends of mine while they were hosting a book fundraiser at Barnes & Noble bookstore for Isabel’s Hope Endowment.

It was a wonderful turnout with many people visiting, sitting, and enjoying the live music. I was so happy to sit and enjoy the music, friends, and above all, the cause.

If you would like to know more info please visit, the Isabel’s hope Endowment Facebook page.

Developing Time, Final Project Time, and Insanity Time.

       It has been a while but I thought I catch up on what is going on now. School; that is what has gone on lately. Procrastination and other things have gone on like usual so I am not 100% happy with class projects but, it will be fine. I have done podcasts at work in the past. Nothing challenging or exciting, in my opinion.  The big challenge is gonna be the proposal for my english class. First of all, I hate writing; second, never had to write a proposal at work, so this should be a fun, interesting experience.

     So far I have a written proposal, a video podcast, and a website due by the end of the semester. No problem…Oh, except for starting them yet…. Oops.

     I have recently become a Mac OS X developer and have played with Apples newest OS 10.7 Lion. So far, I am still learning whats new, whats the same, what hasn’t changed. I am really not OVERLY excited of what is coming in this next version of OS X. Some cool changes, safari, thank god, is faster. I like how spaces, expose, are all in one interface that you can get access to to see what applications are open, and all the windows that are open. I haven’t started to see which none apple apps are still buggy in 10.7. I will most likely start playing with that once some final projects are over.

In other news, I have still been on the job hunt. As of now, obviously nothing has come up. That is why I am thankful for having school and procrastination to keep me company with everything going on. At the moment I am overwhelmed with stress because, I also have no money to spend, and final projects for 4 classes due. Yes, Procrastination how much it loves me. Most of the time I am online with some friends playing my wonderful nerd games; Star Trek Online. Or as my sister-in-law puts it, “Doing a Mission”. To me this is a great stress reliever however, I do have to watch how much times this takes up on the job search as well as the job hunt.

We will see what this summer brings. Hopefully a job, but at least some sort of paying website project.
