I got tagged by Jerrigirl to write about 6 random things. I believe this all started with Imelda. Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
Rules are in place, here are my 6 random things:
- I have always been a day dreamer. Taking even the smallest thing someone says it will turn into an all out movie in my head spreading into random subjects.
- Up until the last 5 years I was always a closed person when speaking to people who are close to me (ie. gf) but the symptoms seem to have vanished and I love the concept of openness and sharing. Maybe that is why I love open source so much!!
- I am in a little debt. Truck to car. Gas. Credit. Sigh.
- I never learned the correct way to type on a keyboard I just made up my own way. Still pretty fast and accurate though on my desktop
- Some people say that love is just another dynamic variable in life. I disagree. Its needs to be a constant. To be passionately in love with someone like in “The Notebook” would be sweet.
- Music is my life bookmark. I can pick out songs that represent times in my life where I have felt sadness, happiness, love, and anger. I can’t live without it.
I am tagging:
David Stagg, Maggie McDonald, Holly Star PR, Kerry Gayle, Ed Schipul,
Katie Laird
P.S. Sorry if you have already been tagged

I’m writing this post from a nifty little tool called Windows Live Writer. Normally I can’t stand Microsoft products, but they hit the nail on the head with this one. From install to writing this post on my WordPress blog it took a total of 1 minute 30 seconds. Nice! I love easy to use software! It has some easy to use tools for inserting video, maps, pictures, tags, tables, and hyperlinks. Need a quick map of Houston…let’s see….done.
Any who, if you don’t mind squeezing that last little ounce of strength towards a Microsoft product you should try Windows Live Writer.
Also, there is a Firefox add-on for windows live writer.

I don’t really know why I love the Allman Brothers so much, but I do. If you haven’t yet experienced their music check out Melissa, one of my favorites.

I never knew that bringing a dog outside for the first time and waiting patiently for it to use the restroom could be so tedious. Dante, my little bundle of joy, is the cutest pet I have ever owned. He wins the royal flush of cute! I guess I’ll live with it.

First off, all glory to google alerts. No offense hypotoad but alerts rock the house. Second, while looking at my alerts I found a Paolo Zangirolami on MySpace TV that played a pretty nasty guitar solo *bows down* I have always been a pretty good guitar player myself but could never reach this zangirolami’s status. Check him out for yourself:

I recently ran into kiva.org and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Kiva allows you to loan money to anyone that is a loan applicant in any developing country. You can view kiva applicants profiles, kiva field partner profiles (the people who actually give them the money in their country), and easily compile data and statistics on either one. The reports and status updates don’t leave your mind hanging with questions about where your money is being allocated. If you want to make a difference in the life of someone less fortunate, then donate $25 dollars to a entrepreneur and get their business going!

There was a little bit of down time for the last two weeks. Apparently some files got lost on my host, and I switched hosting providers. Anywho, i’m back in action! One of my new years resolutions is to keep up with my blog a little more as well as my professional blog “never ending web” so stay tuned for a healthy amount of posts. Oh…some images may be missing because I no longer have them from the previous host

I finally entered into the realm with all the other crackberry evangelists. I have to say, the Blackberry Pearl – Sapphire is a pretty cool phone. While not as robust as the Blackberry curve it still manages to rival it. Setting up my email was a breeze with their nifty setup wizards and the learning curve for the entire interface wasn’t too bad either. Investing in a 1 gig micro SD card will be my next step!

So, my birthday gift has finally arrived! Thanks Mezio! Now I can create 5 gallons (60 bottles) of Coopers Bavarian Lager with a sweet and spice hop flavor. In about roughly 2 months I should have some nice home brewed cerveza! Cheers!

Air Houston 2007 is an event where companies donate their time to help a non-profit organization build a fully accessible site from the ground up. Once a group (company) is registered, they are assigned a non-profit and are required to compete in Air Houston event which is hosted by knowbility. I was the lead on Team schipul!
We were assigned Ms. Wheelchair Texas. They were a wonderful non-profit to have and we had tons of fun building their website. Here is a sneak peak at the new Ms. Wheel Chair Texas designed by team schipul. Javier Avellan, Kim Lange, and Jason Mclweenie were my team members and they did a wonderful job. Thanks Angela Wrigglesworth for your time and gifts!
