It’s been nearly nine months since I’ve updated this. Please forgive me as I shake off the rust, update you all on the time I’ve missed, and get back into the rhythm of writing every day.

May: Went on my first business trip to Tucson as WeatherBug partners with KOLD-TV

Did the whole “cap-and-gown” thing as I officially graduated from WCSU

The twin brothers graduated from high school. The picture below is the last time they literally looked up to me as they are both now about six feet tall. I’m very proud of them!

June: Got the worst sunburn ever. As you probably know, I don’t have hair, thereby making it verrrrrrry easy for me to burn on my head. I went to Ocean City, MD with a few Sigma Chi brothers and stupid me put tanning oil on instead of sunscreen. Needless to say, I’ve learned my lesson.

September: Mariolina and I celebrated our 2.5 year anniversary. She continues to be amazing. I would like to write more, but then I’d just be a cheesy boyfriend trying to gain brownie points.

Ok so I think those are the major points. I’m sure I’ll write about some things at a later date, but consider yourself properly briefed.

For those of you who care… I’ll also be updating my other website 4cast4you periodically. I guarantee that my first article back will be about the climate change emails. I have so much I’ve been holding in.

Anyway, I’m back and I appreciate that you’re still visiting the site.

I finally started my gig at WeatherBug on Monday. I can already tell this is a great company to work for. They threw me into the fire right away and gave me a pretty important project to work on. I’m creating new HD graphics for KJRH in Tulsa, OK. Lots of work but I know I can handle it.

I also started writing for examiner.com. Check out my page here. I’ll be writing a daily weather summary for CT or whatever else I’d like to comment on. I love getting paid to write. What can be better (or easier)?

4cast4you.com is finally taking off. Joe and I decided to create an actual company, so I will be incorporating that soon. 4cast4you, Inc will be a forecasting powerhouse and bringing in some dough for us.

I really don’t have any free time. I am shocked how much extra work I have outside of work. Oh well… I am really enjoying what I’m doing. Even better that I’m finally getting paid for it.

As the title implies, I’ve finally joined Twitter about a week ago and have yet to totally figure it out. From what I can see, it’s not that hard. Comment on whatever in 140 characters or less. Easy enough, right? What about direct messages and @replies? I don’t understand them. Like everything I don’t totally understand, I am going to play around with it until it sinks in.

The reason that I’m mentioning all this is because Facebook has taken a Twitter feel to it. Anyone else feel that way? Facebook must have been very threatened by Twitter. I saw a recent MSNBC story about how Twitter has no idea how they are going to make money off their product, yet were still able to raise $35 million in private capital.

I have a feeling Twitter is going to be bought by Google. They own everything else right?

Joe Roy and I had a crazy idea less than month ago to start a weather website. We have put in tons of time and energy into the site and the (mostly) finished product is 4cast4you. Any regular visitor to this site knows how much time I’ve been putting into the new site. We have some more work to do over the next couple of days, but for the most part, we are ready to go.

I just accepted an offer from Automated Weather Service, the makers of Weatherbug software. I’m really excited to start the position. I’ll be working as a liason between Weatherbug and TV stations.

This position is in Germantown, MD so I’ll be living here for a while longer. I’ll have more updates as I get closer to the start day in 10 days. For now though, I’m on vacation
