I want to be noticed!
What is the key to getting noticed in life and work? Confidence! Being noticed is the key to success. It will land you the girl and it will land you the next promotion. Hard work should not go unnoticed but all too often it does. People will slowly begin to expect you to continue performing at your current workload and ethic, without realizing →

The Club.
Suzanne and I recently purchased a Nespresso machine. We had been looking at espresso machines for a while and had listened to the whole 19 Bars of pressure speech from various sales reps. A few weeks ago, we walked into the Williams and Sonoma store in Bell Square. We passed by the see-through bread toaster and straight to the →
Blackberry vs iPhone
A few posts back, I stated that I would be an iPhone user for as long as my parents payed for it. Well I lied. I recently bought a Blackberry Bold 9700 and I love it. I have been bored with the iPhone for a while. I had been an iPhone user since the day it was released. I remember →
Heroes!
These guys are doing really interesting and important work. Be safe JR!
“That’s Phelim!”
I was just watching the news and they announced that an Irish documentarian was cut off in a Q&A session with Al Gore. While over hearing the accent, Suzanne shouted, "That's Phelim!". Sure it was. Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are the Irish directors the movie, Mine Your Own Business. When I was at Seattle University, I hosted Phelim and →
2012 – That’s it?
I read this review from the Daily Mail for the upcoming release of 2012 and thought that they were being mean and overdramatic movie buffs. Hey it's the end of the world and things are going to get crazy. Well...I WAS WRONG!!! After watching the trailers for the film, I couldn't agree more. This movie is RIDICULOUS! Just watch for →
Bastardizing the BMW M1
The M1 is the epitome of BMW's greatness. I have always wanted one and hope to one day buy a '81. I have hoped that BMW would one day bring back their beloved supercar. I was excited to see a while back in '08 that BMW was working on a M1 prototype....and am angry to have just hear some "confirmed" →
Catholic Engaged Encounter = Last Chance For Summer Camp
I am currently writing this post at [some will probably be after-(it was)] my Catholic Engaged Encounter retreat with Suzanne. EE is a couple's weekend that is a requirement for marrage in most parishes in the Puget Sound area. Months ago when Suzanne and I were first talking (to each other) about marriage, we first discovered EE. EE is designed to →
PwnageTool 3.1 Released
PwnageTool 3.1 was just released about thirty minutes ago. I will admit that I have and will always jailbreak my iPhone for as long as I have one (as long as my parents still continue to pay for my AT&T bill). Jailbreaking opens up endless possibilities for your iPhone. It's a lot more than just a nice background on your →
SOYVIVO.COM Is Now Powered by WordPress.org!
I spent yesterday converting SOYVIVO.COM from a wordpress.com blog to a wordpress.org blog. I chose to host with bluehost.com because of their simple wordpress.org integration through Simple Scripts. The conversion was really simple and really fun. I am enjoying all of the extra features you get when you host your own blog. I am looking forward to learning more about code →

Suzanne made me the happiest man alive today!!
Newcastle, WA
So last night at around 9:30 PM Suzanne and I went to the QFC in Newcastle. After living in Capitol Hill in Seattle for four years, we have grown accustom to the hussle 'n bussel of the big city. We choose to live in Newcastle because of the small town feel yet the access to both Bellevue and Seattle. QFC →
Update: T-Mobile investigates possible security breach
Update from CNET: A T-Mobile spokesman said on Tuesday that data someone posted to a security e-mail list over the weekend was legitimate T-Mobile data but not customer information, and that the phone company's network was not hacked or breached as the poster claimed. The statement raises more questions than it answers. If indeed there was no network hack, could there have →
I am agreeing with Barney Frank?? WTF?!?!
Rep. Frank is a really smart guy. I love his style in conducting committees. However, his handling of the financial situation has not really been good. He has denied any kind of responsibility (even though he said on camera that Fannie is a good investment before their fall and has been a member and is the current chair of House Financial →
Stupid Manny
Manny Ramirez is suspended for 50 games for testing positive in a drug test. All I have to say is that he really messed up my fantasy team (besides being a bad role model, an embarrassment to the industry, etc.). Link
Biden Needs A Shorter Leash
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya8LTeAyCFw] I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now. It's not that it's going to Mexico, it's you're in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That's me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation suggesting →
