One of the primary reasons I started a blog was to communicate more with the Flash community and I’ve pretty much limited posts to just that, Flash. Well, today I was very pleased to get a link from my Mom to the local newspaper where they live in upstate NY and nothing makes your day like seeing a family member in such a positive story.

I’m the oldest of 4 and the youngest, Matt, is still back in upstate NY. I love Boston, but I do feel like I miss out on a lot of things back home. Matt was born with severe hearing loss and has also had a whole host of health related issues growing up, all mainly due to the fact that he was born a few months premature. Despite all of this he’s one of the most positive people I know and a great person to be around.

He’s also a huge sports fan, specifically of the Mets and Giants, so about a year ago I started up a site for him and encouraged him to start writing. He says that he’d like to eventually become a sports writer so hopefully when he wins some sports writer award down the road he’ll give a shout out to his big brother.

I’ve neglected my blog for too long and have decided to write a post everyday for 2 weeks. Most of the content will be Flex related since that’s what I’ve been toiling away at for the past 6 months at Allurent, but I’m sure my ambitious blog schedule will find me hard pressed for content at times.

David Seah had a nice writeup on his experience teaching a class where he was forced to produce something on a daily basis. Basically he was forced to be productive because he simply had to get it done. I figured by forcing myself to write a little everyday I’d stop wondering about a good topic to write up and just simply write.

And no, I’m not counting this as today’s required post.

Somehow I missed this video on MTV…

Welcome to WordPress 2.0. You just screwed up your blog…

I tried upgrading and the upgrade script didn’t run as smoothly as it was supposed to. I have backups though so I’ll be posting the important entries when I get time. I’ll be leaving the lame posts in the trash, I figure new year, chance to start over again.
