Went to the beach today for the first time in a while. Kailua Beach is one of my favorites on O’ahu because the sand isnt as coarse as the other areas and the ocean floor isnt jaded with rocks.
My parents called and said they would be making a trip out soon. I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’s been a few months since I’ve been home and I really miss seeing everyone. My parents and sister went up to Chicago for the weekend to hang out and have been trying to make me jealous by sending me photos of them shopping and eating at some of my favorite restaurants. Meanwhile, I’m stuck in Hawaii….stuck….in Hawaii…. 
Last July I came across a new internet start-up recommended by TechCrunch. Geni.com is a geneology website infused with social-networking. Anyway, I added a few people to my family tree along with some of their email addresses and watched it start to grow! Not even a year later, I have over 430+ connections to my family tree and relatives of mine are adding content on a daily basis. It’s fantastic!
If you’re a social-networking user and can appreciate the cleaner interface that sites such as Facebook have to offer, then you’ll really enjoy Geni.com. It’s painless and has a consistent layout.
Go check it out and plan your next big reuinion!!!
It’s nice to see companies feverishly updating their code and churning out releases on a regular basis, but COME ON WordPress!!! Do you seriously need a new update every week? It’s a bit of a hassle to be updating my blog and all the other clients that are running WordPress on my web server — all in the name of security.
I’m damned either way, because if I don’t upgrade these stupid things then I’ll be cursing when some script-kiddie acts all 31337 and hax my site….but I really hate spending the time almost on a weekly basis to upgrade these stupid things.
Oh well. Lets get it right the first time, shall we?
It’s been a really long time since I’ve blogged anything, and so much has happened these past months. After 6 years of service, I’m finally out of the Navy. I took a month of terminal leave and just started a new career with SAIC as a government contractor working up at Schofield.
I finally sold my jeep. I got a good price for it and am happy that it sold so quickly. I only had it up on Craigslist for 3 days. I also got a new motorcycle, the incomparable Ducati 1098. I will be selling my Yamaha any day now and plan on just keeping the Ducati as my only transportation for the time-being.
Anyways, I’ll try to be a little more active on the blog since most of my family members feel out of touch. Joshie, you better still be coming out to stay in June!!!
Interestingness...
