My life is currently being covered in other blogs. Here’s a wrap up of my last few weeks:

We have booked a trip to Cancun.

We attended the local DFL caucus.

We finished up the Sopranos (see the comments).

I deleted my Myspace account.

Courtney and I celebrated our anniversary in January. We made reservations at the Oceanaire.  We were hoping for a romantic, quiet evening with good seafood. We did get good seafood, but that was about it. Our reservations were for 9:00pm which is late for us these days. Well, 9:00pm came and went and we were still not seated. We were seated around 9:45pm. To be honest, we were too tired to really enjoy the food. Oceanaire was swamped with people. It was loud and cramped. But, the food was good. Did I mention that fact yet? Yeah, it was good.

I’ve been asked to demo some web technologies for a MCAD class in April. It sort of popped out of the blue. The ever connected Emily hooked me up with the opportunity. It’s been awhile since I’ve spoken in front of people. When I was a teenager I used to help my parents teach their respective training courses. But this is the first time I’ll be older than my audience so I’m a bit intimidated. At the very least I hope to have fun with it.

Have you seen the Macbook Air commercial? Yeah, I’m a sucker for the tune in it too.  I swear Apple ads are my primary source for new music these days.

The revolution has begun. I can’t say I’ve been an avid user of Myspace, but I’ve had an account since ‘03. I never really found the chic factor of it. Most people who wanted to find me could find me right here (or here, here, or here). One thing I am completely fed up with, though, is the friend spam from Myspace. That’s why I’m choosing to participate on the 30th.

I’m not giving up on social networking, far from it. But I think Facebook and LinkedIn have succeeded where Myspace failed. Both Facebook and LinkedIn provide me value, whereas I wasn’t able to get much out of Myspace. LinkedIn centralizes my professional contacts and helps me organize by resume information. Facebook provides a clean and contemporary interface, serving up fun little games and time wasters that I can share with friends.
