Well it is done, I have made the switch from PC to Mac and am so glad I did. I have worked with Macs in the past, but I have not owned one.

The money was worth it, I am so thrilled with the applications and the fact that I can do so much more with this OS.

Now, it is time to get productive and more creative :)

Cheers!


Life has got in the way…

Wow, it’s already October and I have not posted on here since June! Lots and lots of things have been happening that have kept me away from updating the blog.

Over the summer I helped some friends open up two new restaurants. It was a lot of work, but it certainly paid off (free food FTW). One of those restaurants has now been purchased by two of my friends and I have been handling the marketing for them. I also work there four – five days a week, that helps when marketing the product :)

The Downtown Expresso has been successful since opening in late July.  We have quite a following on Facebook and there is a lot of buzz around town about the little shop.  If you are ever in Elmira, then be sure to stop in!

In addition to all of the work with the Expresso, I have been keeping busy with the internet marketing for La Tourelle Resort & Spa.  With the busy summer & fall season winding down, there will be more work to try and drive room sales.  The resort is an amazing place and if you are ever in Ithaca, be sure to stay there, it is so worth it :)

Falling Flat has taken a break, though not officially.  After recording our first three-person episode back in June, Aron and I have just not found the time to sit down and record again.  We would make plans to record and then one of us would have something come up and it just got pushed aside.  I am hoping that we record again soon, I miss doing that weekly!

Well, that is all for now.  I have more work that I must get done, it never ends these days!

Cheers!

Back on Brightkite…

Back in April I talked about how I was taking a break from using Brightkite, well after this past weekend that all changed.  I find it easier to snap a photo on the iPhone and upload it Brightkite with a caption and let people comment on it.  The process is dead simple, easier than using twitpic and having the caption lost because clients do not pass it along.

So, with that being said, expect to see more activity from me on Brightkite.

Now I just wish that Apple would get around to approving the app changes so that the broken features are fixed – hurry up Apple!

PodCamp Ohio Recap

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend PodCamp Ohio in Columbus, OH.  The trip for me started out on Thursday afternoon with 21 hours of travel on Greyhound.  I chose to take the bus this time since it was 1/3 the cost of a plane ticket and it gave me the chance to meet with Aron in Ann Arbor and drive down with him to Columbus.

The event itself was amazing.  From the meetup the night before at Baja Sol Cantina, all of the amazing sessions throughout the day, to ending the night at Jeni’s Ice Cream – it was a great experience.

Aron and I had the chance to really promote our podcast throughout the day.  From passing out stickers to discussing editing methods and media hosting with other podcasters, it was great.  We still have stickers left if you want to snag one, just fill out the form on the Falling Flat site and I will drop one in the mail to you.

A big highlight of the trip was getting to finally meet Brandice Schnabel.  She was kind enough to do a mini-photoshoot with Aron and I so that we have some promotional photos for the podcast.  If you are not following Brandice, I suggest that you do – she is one awesome person!

The organizers (@AngeloMandato, @DoctorAnonymous, @MerryCricket) of PodCamp Ohio did a superb job and I can’t wait until next year.  Also a big thanks to the sponsors, without them this event would not be possible: The Ohio State University Center For The Study And Teaching Of Writing, Blubrry.com, Doctor Anonymous Podcast, Circle Of Seven Productions Book Trailers and Marketing, AssistCoach.com, blip.tv, TechSmith, SpaceBlue, Blue Microphones and Avitae.

A big thank you to everyone for an amazing weekend!

Tumblr has ruined me…

I have not been posting much on here these days, the primary reason is that Tumblr has ruined my blog.  The ability to post different media formats so effortlessly has had me neglecting to write in my actual blog.

There are so many things that I want to write about and plan to, but it seems that time escapes during the day and I don’t get the chance to.

So, please stick with the silence and I promise more posts will come.  If you are interested in what I am up to, then check out my feed on Twitter.

Cheers!
