Knock, knock, is this thing on?

Updated Blog Design

For quite a while this blog has looked the same. Sure, a tweak here or there, but not much has changed. It's been a two column layout and used the standard; at the time, 80 x 15 images for links to my other sites. With Movable Type 5 set to be released in about a week I thought it was time for a change.

The first change was the 80 x 15 icons which have now been replaced with shiny Web 2.0 icons. Check them out, follow the links, and friend me up!

The second change is the layout itself. I've shifted from a two column to a three column layout which can be seen here. This change was something I've wanted to do for a few years but not had the motivation to work on. It required a reworking of the CSS and images behind the site.

That is all for now, but with the proliferation of the iPhone and other web enabled mobile devices it's time I finally come up with a mobile site. That is something I'm looking at for early next year. 

Feel free to leave me feedback by using the form on this site or send me a message on Twitter.

Nike+

Today was my first workout with my iPhone and Nike+. Pretty cool technology and extremely simple to use. Not as accurate as GPS models, but fairly accurate after calibration. I'm hoping this use of technology motivates me to get more active.

Beautiful Lies Twitter Contest

About a month and a half ago I won a contest @Amtrekker was having on Twitter. He had received a copy of Lisa Unger's Beautiful Lies novel from @DaisyWhitney and wanted to pass it on.

I finished the book this week and thought it was only right that we have another Twitter contest to give the book to someone else.

We agreed upon the following; come up with your best 5 word lie and email it to Lies at Amtrekker.com. 

The three of use sent out tweets about it. @Amtrekker's, @DaisyWhitney's, and mine @GP2980. Daisy also posted an entry on her blog, The Book Chick, with comments being accepted for the contest.

The winner should be selected this weekend and the book mailed out next week.

To learn more about the novel, take a look at Lisa Unger's website.

NJ Nets, Meet the Team Event

This past Thursday, April 2nd, I was at the New Jersey Nets "Meet the Team Event" at the IZOD Center. It's an event for season ticket holders where you get to meet the players, get autographs, and eat hors d'oeuvres before listening to words from the Nets organization. This year saw the addition of the Kiki Awards, named after Kiki Vandeweghe, General Manager of the Nets. The awards were voted on by season ticket holders and included best smile and fan favorite. Not the most exciting awards show, but still entertaining.

You can view my photos from the event on Flickr and watch the videos below to see the autograph line as well as the full Kiki Awards.

Zemanta

I just installed the Zemanta extension for Firefox and this is my first post utilizing it. Zemanta integrates with both blogging and email services and currently pulls in data from 15 external sources. It will automatically suggest tags, links, photos, and related articles.

I'm testing it with Movable Type and the interface is pretty slick. The suggestions happen automagically and then give you control over the content that is displayed in the blog post. So far the only thing I do not like is that links do not open in a new window and there is no way to do this without modifying the HTML.
