Life Update

Sep 16, 2007

I usually use Vox to post personal stuff, and carpeaqua to post nerdery. With the insane schedule I've kept over the past few months, putting updates on either site has been a taxing situation.

Second Gear

Stuff has been going really well with Second Gear. Client work seems steady, and I usually don't have too much free time. I'm trying to shift the company into a bit of a different direction to fit my changing personality. Besides doing development, I've also planning on expanding my publishing empire to add another site in the future. It's Evansville has been a fun experiment to write, and I'd like to expand the idea out to another city in the future. That said, I'd also like to find someone to handle the ad sales on both of the sites, because I am not a saleman whatsoever, and my schedule doesn't really allow for cold sales calls.

Book

Work is wrapping up on my Mac OS X Leopard book. The 14 month process has been one of the most trying experiences I've ever been a part of. I'll be glad when it (and Mac OS X Leopard) are released, so I can move on to another project. At this stage, I don't think I'll ever write another published book unless its a self-publishing type deal. There's something to be said for having fewer hands in the process, and that's what I like about writing online.

Moving

Now that business is pretty stable, I've been scouting out apartments. I've almost made my mind up that staying in Evansville isn't for me. I've lived her my entire life and want to try something different. I've seen and done everything this town has to offer, and there's something inviting about moving to a completely foreign location. I'm still leaning towards moving to Nashville, but I need to find somewhere to live, and finish getting some financial things behind me. My personal goal is to find somewhere and be moved in during Q1 of 2008.

Hockey Is On!

It seemed just like yesterday I was watching the Stanley Cup playoffs end with those damn Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup. I suppose the only saving grace is right winger, Justin Williams.

Multimedia message

Last night was the first game of the season for my Nashville Predators, and while I wanted to be there for opening night, work just didn't allow that. Luckily, I decided to subscribe to NHL Center Ice this season so that I could watch as many Predators games as I can this season. Being a fan of such a small market team, it's a rare instance that they are on TV. Tack on the fact that my local cable provider doesn't get Versus, I would be without much hockey until NBC picked up the Saturday package after the football season ends.

Sports Illustrated, The Hockey News and a lot of other publications are predicting that the Predators are going to do really well this season (maybe even win the Western Conference). I certainly hope that is the case, and will make sure to get to as many games as I can this season. I have full intentions of making sure to go apartment shopping on days that there is a home hocke game.

Sidenote: One thing that bugs me about NHL Center Ice is that they keep playing the same NHL Center Ice commercial over and over and over and over and over. Ugh.

Coming In 2007: Nashville

guitar with reflection

Other than the 5 years I spent at Purdue, I've been living in Evansville my entire life. I don't necessarily dislike Evansville, but I don't want to spend my entire life in the same city and state. With that in mind, I am planning on packing up and moving to Nashville, Tennessee in the first part of 2007.

Why Nashville? It has music, culture, is close to home (3 hours) and is something completely new. A lot has to happen in the next 6 months for this to be possible: for one, Second Gear needs to keep growing at the rate it is going so I can afford to live comfortablely. Second, I need to find somewhere to live. Here's my requirements:

Relatively close to the city. I don't mind the suburbs, but I don't want to be more than 10 minutes from downtown.
A garage. I need an apartment that has garages. I drive a brand new Lexus. I am not leaving it outside.
New apartment. I want to live somewhere that was built in the last 5-7 years and hopefully is more upscale than your regular run-of-the-mill apartment.

So if you live in Nashville or have lived there, can you offer me any suggestions on where to look?
