Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday. 22 years ago this morning I came into this world kicking and screaming.

Ready for action.

In case you are looking for any last second gifts, some of the following websites may come in handy:

• SlideShowPro.net - To make a cool photo gallery for your favorite blog (MahiX2.com)
• TShirtHell.com - To update my tired warddrobe and get me into the “funny tshirt” craze.
• ThinkGeek.com - To allow me to enjoy hands free (well, sort of hands free) cell phone talking… with style.

Surely there are other things you may be interested in purchasing on my behalf, so feel free to get creative. If nothing else, give me a shout… I’d love to hear from everyone.

In an outburst of frantic e-mail organizing I decided to come up with a standardized set of flagging in Outlook. I have been using the flags in outlook for some time now, but never to their full potential, and never with a consistent color/definition set. Today I decided enough was enough and I whipped up a standard and an accompanying flashcard to help me learn/stick with it.

Here it is:

Feel free to download and print one out to keep near your monitor if you’d like. If you think my colors/codes suck, download the Fireworks PNG file and edit freely.

/gtd for life.

UPDATE: This post has been moved to my Professional Notes site as well.

This guy has officially owned on the UK. He has taken graffiti to the next level. Check out the pictures.

Yahoo is hooking it up with $2.99/yr domains. Stop being cheap and lazy and buy one. I can hook you up with a smoking deal on hosting. Then if you are a cool person I’ll design it for you if that is your hang up.

Think of all the cool pictures of drunk people you took over the last couple weeks that you want to post for all of your friends back home to see.

Think of all of your random and generally unresearched rants you have building up in your head that you want to get out.

Think of all the unnecesarry virtual bitch slaps you could give out if you had your own website. Like about Mr. C being a Schlep Rock.

GET A DAMN WEBSITE ALREADY.

Whew! It has been TOO long!

To Re-cap, since the last post some notable items are as follows:

• Made serious progress on ASASU’s Undergraduate Student Government Website.
• Had a good laugh or two over at The CupCakeLuvr Blog.
• Rode out a HELL of a roller coaster ride in a few classes.
• Read (too much) about Web 2.0
• And as an example, started using some new web apps like Slide
• Oh and I can’t forget Trackslife which fits nicely under my inner yearning to be a GTD master.
• Also one I have been eyeing for a while is Feedburner - (insert plug for joining the revolution of RSS here… seriously, if you don’t know what RSS is, get with it.)
• Dove head first into the “job market” by handing out 30ish resumes, having about a dozen first round interviews so far with a couple second rounders scheduled and a bunch of companies whom I have yet to hear back from. (In fact, I am tracking this whole process with Trackslife)
• As usual, am thinking about a MahiX2.com redesign… CSS Reboot sounds fun (and I’ll be able to plug in Slide, possibly tidy up WordPress with a few plug-ins (like Draftlets), or possibly even switch back to the ever improving MovableType.)
• Speaking of MahiX2.com, I recently got cruel.com’d when they linked to the ‘ole post of the Planes, Trains, and Plantains: the Story of Oedipus english paper. Cruel.com brought in a good 3000 unique visitors in a matter of 3 days also leading to links from other sites… and also leading to an influx in comments by random ass readers (Welcome btw).
• Was treated like a king by Newegg.com (story to come in a seperate post)
• Surely more, but this should hold you over for a while.

Cheers, and thanks for venturing back. Hopefully I can get on some kind of posting pattern going again.
