Can’t believe I didn’t post anything in October. Oh wait, I did. Hah. More to come as always…

Oh, life. How you make things difficult. No, not really. I’m just being hyperbolic. But there is a bit going on…
Quick update, I know. I have some long-form post ideas but those will have to wait….
I responded to the following “update” on Facebook… Here is the response:
That’s all I’ll say about this for now.
This is not a real post. It should be but it’s not. I’m writing a paper right now. That’s why.
It’s been ten days and already a lot has happened in 2009. I’m now a graduate graduate student at Lewis University. I finally got all the photos from my October 2008 trip to Colorado onto Flickr (ok, actually that was late last year but still…). My employer has changed and now I work for “National City now a part of PNC”. And I finally upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.7. I plan on writing a longer post on my trip – maybe a bit of a narrative – and of course embed slideshows of the photos I took. I have a lot of raw video to go through as well but I’m waiting for iMovie ‘09 to get it all put together. I really want to use some of those cool new map transitions – Indiana Jones style!
My eight-year-old cousin came in for Thanksgiving from Texas. We had a great time. Here are some photos of our Turkey Day.
I feel I’ve been neglecting Luminary Blur for a while. Normally I’d blame it on procrastination or disinterest or really good TV shows (how about that Lost finale). This time, however, I’ve got some good reasons.
I guess that isn’t too much but these two projects have really taken up a lot of my time for the last few weeks. I hope to continue to develop both my podcasting prowess as well as my website development expertise. Thanks for journeying with me.
Tomorrow I leave for Iowa to spend my New Year’s Eve with family. I’m especially excited to be going at this time due to the upcoming Iowa caucuses on Thursday, Jan. 3rd. In fact, my parent’s town has been the subject of several recent news stories. I just missed both Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson, who were in Pella this morning. Perhaps there will be more high-profile visits coming up over the weekend—I wouldn’t mind seeing any of the candidates although it would be cool to see some of the higher-profile ones, including Hillary Clinton, John McCain, or Barack Obama. Due to my time away, I may not be updating until the new year. But look for pictures/videos at that time. Happy New Year!
Just got back from my two-day Christmas marathon with my Illinois-based family. I will be heading out to see my actual family (Iowa-based) on the 29th. I’ve posted a Picasa slideshow embed after the jump of our Christmas Eve gift exchange. Video should be added soon. Also, Happy Christmas to all…hope you got everything you wanted and more!
I’m heading out of town tomorrow afternoon for a nice restful Thanksgiving in Pella, IA. Therefore I probably won’t have much time to post a proper blog entry until Saturday (and I think I have a good idea for one brewing) so I’ll attempt to communicate my activities via Twitter since they are aggregated here anyway. In other news I just read that Facebook will be removing the “is” from its status updates. All those clever work-arounds Brett Terpstra figured out for MoodBlast? Might not matter any more. Pity, because they were very very useful. Personally I’m looking forward to MoodBlast 3—seems that a lot of changes are afoot.
