Are you part of Web 2.0?

With all the talk about Web 2.0 lately, it wasn’t until I was reading Pete’s Blog that I really thought about Web 2.0 and me. The video below is by Michael Wesch, a professor at Kansas State University and it discusses how the Web and Internet are converging and creating a totally networked and connected society.

How many of us read RSS/XML feeds? How many of us use e-mail on the go or have created a blog or personalized start page converging content from several providers? How many of us use YouTube or Flickr to share videos or photos? Take a look and see what you think? Are you a part of Web 2.0?

Life Update

Well, it’s been almost a month since I have moved in to my new place and I couldn’t be happier. Everything is finally all together as far as furniture goes and I am almost done unpacking the remaining boxes. I have been doing a lot more cooking now that I have a nice size kitchen and overall, I am enjoying just relaxing and hanging around my new place. I’ve even hosted a couple of dinner parties with some friends! Since I moved, I am also saving on my gas for my car and can now go almost two full weeks with out a fill up thanks to moving closer. Something to be said about a 12-minute commute to work.

Speaking of work, work is going just fine. I have elected to work some additional hours each week so I can save a few extra dollars for bills so I am averaging 45-50 hour work weeks these days. I still have my two days off of Friday/Saturday to get things done which is a bonus. Things are going to be picking up a lot in the next few weeks with the Easter Holiday arriving and Spring Break in full swing. Possible new roles on the horizon for me but I don’t want to get in to too much details until they are all finalized.

Well, Joe is on his way over and we are just going to relax at the pool or watch a movie so I’ll update everyone later this week on the new roles then.

My New Home

Well, I know it has been a long time since I have last posted but there is a good reason. I have been moving! That’s right folks, I have been in the process over the last few months purchasing my first home. I decided that it was time to settle down and with some great support of my family, purchased a one-bedroom/one-bath 863 square-foot condo in Lake Buena Vista at Discovery Palms. My new place is only 3 miles from where I used to rent but, it will be a great place for me to settle down and concentrate on my career here at Walt Disney World.

Check out the photos of my new place:
