A couple of you have asked me why my site was down. Simply put, I wanted to move away from dasBlog and try WordPress. Why did I move? Well, after 3+ years with dasBlog I felt it was time to explore something new. WordPress is very robust and provided me with the flexibility I wanted from blogging platform. I have not yet decided if I will import the old content to the new blog. I’m currently leaning against the idea because it would not represent any departure from the way I’ve written in the past.

Besides updating my blog I’ve been keeping very busy. With the beginning of football season, I’ve spent a lot of my time managing various fantasy football teams. .. Just kidding. Actually school has kept me pretty busy. I’ve found the classes so far to be very thought provoking and applicable to real world experiences. To make a long story short, Grad school is much better than undergrad. In addition to school, I’ve been doing pro-bono web consulting for two start-up non-profits. I hope to use my knowledge of the web and web trends to help these organizations create an online presence that will enable them to reach a wide audience. Working pro-bono has also given me the opportunity to put to use the knowledge that I’ve acquired from class and through reading numerous online articles. In addition, It also gives me the chance to extend my portfolio (coming soon to this website) to include projects beyond those of now defunct Doceus Inc.

As those of who are addicted to Facebook already know, I recently celebrated my 24th birthday. I’m getting to be old man. Who would have thought? I didn’t do much for my birthday this year because I was in NJ/NY attending a wedding and visiting the girl’s brother. I must admit I was nice to get away for the weekend, but now it’s back to the daily grind.
