It’s been quite some time since I started this project back in November, but it looks like its finally come to something I can call complete.  Today I finished the portfolio part of the site and uploaded my recent projects.  It still has some parts that need polishing, but I can feel more comfortable with the site being viewed now that its in it’s final stage.  I have some videos I want to upload of some work I’ve done in After Effects but I’m going to have to wait till me and my programming buddy get that figured out.

Its been a long time since I made my last post. It’s been a VERY long time since I have updated my blog with a post because there hasn’t really been anything to write about. I have been grinding out my work week and then periodically doing things on the weekends with friends and that is pretty much it. Last week however I got to take a break from designing and spent Thursday and Friday running one of the cameras to film a video on group theory. It was so exciting! Well not really but there was free pizza which was nice.

On a side note, this web page will be changing shortly and will feature my portfolio, which was the main reason for this site. I am hoping by Tomorrow I will have something up so make sure to stop by and check it out!

It was a nice day out today so I decided to stop procrastinating and finally start making consecutive commutes to work with my bike.  It was a nice morning today with a temperature of around 45 degrees and the only thing that got cold were my knees (I know weird right?) and my fingertips.  Its only about an 8 mile commute but its along busy roads the whole way.  Luckily I have a shoulder to ride on most of the way except for the last mile in which I have to ride uphill in the grass.  This morning’s commute took roughly 35 minutes but I know I can do it a lot faster once I can start beasting it up these two large hills I run into.  I hope on the weekends once I get my touring bike, I can start doing 35-50 mile trips to help condition myself for my transcontinental journey.

I’m back home now and I must say I really miss Europe.  Everything about it was so much fun, from the Swiss Alps, to the London Eye, it was all an experience of a lifetime.  It’s really hard coming home after going on an adventure like that and come back to my windowless office, but I guess thats just life.

Reflecting on this trip I really didn’t want this to be my last big adventure for years with just little short drives to different states every few months or so, because if you can’t go around and travel and do crazy stuff all the time at 23, when can you do it?  I’m in my prime right now and I have to start doing something about it.  So after some thought and planning, I have decided I will attempt to bike across the United States, starting in Virginia, and riding all the way to California.
