Under Construction

JR — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 22:00:35 +0000

Did a little bit of house cleaning and didn’t realize that I was going to have to redo most of this blog. Ran short of time and I wasn’t able to fix everything……….Hopefully, can fix this soon.

Dreams

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain

I’m working on throwing off some bowlines, but damn they are heavy.

Samsung Galaxy S

Last Friday JJ and I went to Cellular South to finally upgrade our phones. I have been holding out for the Samsung Galaxy S for a months now, and they finally offered it. Cellular South has great rates, but they tend to be slightly slow in offering new phones. After just a few days with the new phone, I can’t imagine not having it. It has cut my computer use in half. I didn’t realize how much time I spent checking to see if I gotten any new emails or wasting time on Facebook or Twitter.

A few aspects that I am loving about the new phone:

Bar Code App- Scan items to check the prices on the internet before you buy them.

Swype- What a great way to text, especially if you have fat chubby fingers like mine

Intregrated Contacts-All my contacts from email accounts, facebook, twitter, and phone contacts are in one place

Gmail notifications- I probably will never miss an email again

Voice Texting-Actually does a pretty good job of recognizing speech.

GoStop- Downloaded this Korean card game app. (This was a mistake when you are trying to get work done)

Angry Birds- Another time waster, but fun!

I am testing to see if I can use my new phone to post on word press

Ryan’s Assignment

My buddy Ryan was given an assignment from one of his teachers to create a marketing video. They get a higher score depending on how many hits their video gets. Check it out when you have the time!

New Blog ….Change Your Links…thanks~!

JR — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 16:23:00 +0000

I have made the switch to self-hosting on WordPress. I will not be posting on Blogger anymore. You can follow me here. (M2k)I still have some bugs to work out and probably will get rid of the flash to speed up the load time. I still am not 100% happy with the theme, but it is the best one that I have found. I will still be posting the same kind of content, but most centered around photos that I have taken. I was going to wait till the move back to Hattiesburg, but decided to go on and make the change.

If you are looking for information on Dongtan, please feel free to have a look at my photos or older posts. If you are looking for a school in Korea, give me an email and let me get you in touch with my recruiters.

Mom

JR — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:14:00 +0000

As soon as I had finished posting about our trip, my sister-in-law called and told me that my mom was going to have surgery today. That set off a firestorm of emotions and prompted many skype calls and facebook messages. I really figured that I had a couple of days before I really had to worry about her going under the knife. Well, she just got out of surgery and seems to be doing pretty well. She will be in ICU for 24 to 48 hours and then back to her regular room. I held up pretty good till I spoke with her over the phone while they were taking her to surgery. I haven’t cried like that in a long time. It was just something I didn’t expect. Now, we just have to pray for a speedy and safe recovery. The doctor said that there didn’t seem to be anything else wrong with her except for the enlarged spleen, so that is great news.

The links of communication were great tonight with my family keeping me informed via;facebook, skype, email, and cell phones calls and text messages.

I am going to crash and try to get a few hours of sleep in before I have to work at 1pm. I will definitely sleep better knowing that she is out of surgery.
