So, as usual…. it’s been awhile and a lot has happened since my last blog.

First,

I am in a new place.  The apartment in my parents’ basement.  Plenty of space, and cheap rent. This is the most living space I have ever had.

Just finished up the MediaCenter PC using Windows XP MediaCenter edition, and MediaPortal (because it supports more than the standard media center).

I now have some Picasa Web albums online… I like it because it uses Picasa and integrates great with my photo management and Snapfish so I can order prints if I want.  I can plug my camera in, tag/label/etc and just upload right to the albums without having to do any extra work making them show up on a page or whatever.

So… right now, life is pretty good for me.  I have some awesome ideas for what I plan to do within the next year, and with a lot of determination, I’m sure I can make them work out.  I do think I’ll wait a bit longer on buying a house.  With the economy going into the dumps, and the fact that I can kill off a huge amount of my debt come tax time… I think I can hold out a little longer and have more money to buy a home in a buyer’s market.

Halloween was awesome, I put on the mad scientist costume and it suited me very well.  Trick-or-treaters were asking for pictures with me and everything.  Maybe I’ll setup my camera and get a nice snapshot for my album soon.

For the information of all who haven’t noticed, I don’t use MySpace much anymore, and have changed my page to just a white box with a link to my own website.  I think I can do better without a social network.  I have a blog, photo albums, and my own website to keep people up to date on me… if I should choose to.

Anyway, off to make dinner… and thank you for reading MOOSEUpdate!
