Where’d You Go?
I’ve been a little busy lately with some of my other projects, and my blog has become a little neglected. I figured it was time for a quick update, list style of course:
1. I’m in the process of finishing up the biggest website I’ve worked on so far. It should be launching in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for a blog posting announcing it. In short, its a resume critiquing site with a social twist – you upload a single position from your resume and receive feedback from other users. You can then rate their feedback, awarding them points in the process. Additionally, you can add friends and send messages. Like I said, check back in the next week or so for the official announcement.
2. I recently purchased a broken Macbook Late 2007 that is currently sitting in 3 pieces – the keyboard, the bottom case and the screen. I’m hoping to purchase a few parts before my April Break so I can see if its worth fixing when I head home. The screen is cracked, but still appears usable. My biggest concern is that the motherboard has damage to it – if not, I should be able to buy a new upper case assembly (screen/inverter/antennas/etc) and just throw in the few missing pieces for the bottom and have a working computer on my hands.
3. My birthday was just shy of a month ago, and I was fortunate enough to receive a new iPad for it. Given that Apple made the iPad 2 announcement the day before my birthday, I opted to return the iPad I received and waited the week for the iPad 2. After waiting on line at Best Buy for almost 2 hours, I was (probably) one of the first people to handle an iPad 2 – I was standing next to the display models as they were being put on the floor – and got my own 32 GB iPad 2 and Grey Polyurethane Smart Cover. It’s definitely a fun little toy – I’ll try to write a more in-depth review when I have some free time.
4. After my failed attempt of installing an exhaust on my car this past summer, I decided it was time to give it another try. This past week I purchased a Tanabe Concept G axle back exhaust system to be installed over April Break. It should be arriving in the next few days, so when I head home in 2 weeks it will be waiting for me. I’ll try to take pictures and do a write up this time, unlike my intake install.
I think that’s it for the time being – I’m going to try and get back on a more decent schedule in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for some more in-depth posts to come.
