Year of Living Biblically

This is an interesting video from a journalist that attempted to live biblically.  He makes some good points about not really being able to live by the bible's exact rules and choosing the ones the make you a better person.  I am not to religious of a person but I believe living an honest life and following basic rules (killing, tolerance, treating people with respect...) will take you to where you want to go.

Religion is such a touchy subject. I see the hypocrisy in so many "religious" people that it turns me away from a specific religion. It bothers me even more when religions that preach about judgement do just that. I don't believe any specific religion is  better or more correct. At the core of each one you will find similar virtues or ethical principles. We should be using these to bring us closer instead we allow the differences take us apart.  This should be a subject I discuss more. What do you guys think?

New Beginning

I have moved to a new location. The apartment is smaller. It isn't to nice. My decision to move here was for an experiment I have always wanted to do. Actually several things That I have always wanted to do. These are: living close to work, living in a small apartment, riding my bike to work. I will be saving some extra money that can help with some of my the things on this years business Agenda (Previous post).

I will be posting about my experience with this. I will post some pictures of the place before and after I set it up, the area and how I am liking the new experience.

Too long...

Not much has been going on this year. It has been a calm and uneventful year so far. I keep coming up with post I want to do but never get to them. Maybe this weekend.

Only thing I accomplished is a new website design using WordPress : miamitaekwndofederation.com. Let me know what you think.

Rochester sports teams

Rochester is known as one of the biggest minor league markets for sports. After seeing the Rochester Lancers I will have seen all of the sports teams here. I have seen the Raiders (arena football), Rhinos (Soccer), Amerks (hockey), Razor Sharks (basketball), Red Wings (baseball), and Knight hawks (indoor lacrosse). The only team I didn't see was the Lacrosse team. They moved them before I got to see them but I think they maybe being replaced.

My Niece via Skype

She is quickly approaching two. I love her so much. I just got off of Skype with her. She wanted me to watch an episode of Dora with her so I did. Our relationship has primarily been through Skype. I try to talk to her everyday. It is amazing how fast she is growing up. Thanks to Skype I get to see it. Although it is not as good as in person it will have to do for now. I am surprised I don't write more blogs about her. Well that is all for now.

Dell E310

Dell E 310 you have treated me well over the years. We spent many long nights doing case studies and designing websites. You have worked fairly flawlessly through out those years. You came to me at an outstanding Christmas sale discount with many free upgrades. You came to me at a time of need as my laptop had been stolen. I will miss you. I hope your next owner will enjoy you just as much and the money earned from selling you will go toward another great computer. So fair well my Dell E310.

Hello Toshiba laptop. You are welcome to my family of gadgets & gizmos. You two have come to me in a time of need for a new windows machine & at a clearance price. You have big shoes to fill with your smaller sleeker shell. I believe you can do it. You have gotten off to a food start my PC. May our journey together be long.
