So I started my own new company this year - an environmentally-friendly web hostng service.
I'm not loaded with cash, so I had to play it smart - place the servers within green power grids (wind / solar) and then offset my home office with green tags and wind certificates - because for some reason, here in Boston, there is no real "green" energy supply.
Anyway, check if out - Think Green Hosting
Figured I had to find a way to do something for the earth besides turn off power strips and stop drinking bottled water...
Maybe Al Gore would be proud.

Isn't it funny how time flies when you start seeing someone? A few months back I began dating someone... and suddenly WHAM! (make it big) here April is upon us. Apparently I'm terrible at juggling a relationship and my SG blog at the same time. I suck at life. "Stop the world, I'm getting off!" -The Stone Roses
Cough, wheeeeeze!
Well, I'm back. Long since back from Vegas, but... just days after I returned I caught a cold. I hate flying, I always get colds when sharing the same air with 150 other people for 5 hours.
But then... a few days later, my cold became a flu. And then after the flu it became pneumonia. One right after the other!
Needless to say, my past few weeks have been uneventful and spent simply recovering. At least I got to catch up on all the TV shows my TiVo had recorded!
Today's the first day in two weeks I haven't felt awful.
I'll update my blog about Vegas in the coming days.

ouch, my head!
Arrived in Vegas at 6pm, grabbed dinner at 8pm, headed to the strip at 10pm, and I think I managed to get back into my room by about 3:30pm, I can't really remember. I had fun, but it felt like a tough night to be a single guy on the town in Vegas...
I dunno why I'm awake now, after only 4 hours of sleep - I think I'm still on east coast time.
I have a VIP wristband on, from the club I spent the majority of my time last night. I wonder if it will work multiple nights - likely not. I'll have to check my credit card statement online later to see what counts as "VIP"... oops.

I'm soooo getting this shirt.
OUCH... Last night I attempted to break-up a bar fight that involved a friend. I ended up getting an elbow to the face, just shy of directly to the eye. Hurt like a mo-fo last night, but thank goodness this morning the swelling is minimal. The last thing I needed was a black-eye this week!
This morning I watched my DVR recording of the Colbert Report, and they had a segment on Human + Robot Love - the researcher who wrote the book "Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships " (David Levy) stated that mankind will begin having sex with robots in 5 years, and full-blown emotional relationships with robots in 40 years. I'm a little taken back by this! What if a robot can satisfy my lovers better than I can? What if these robots are programmed to be the ultimate Don Juan???
BLOG CONFUSION:
I'm a little lost as to what the "Link" button does in my blogs?
For example, when I want to respond to a comment left in my blog, I'm pressing "Link" first and then responding. But... does that let that person know that I've responded to them?
To me, it feels like when I've commented in someone else's blog, if they want to respond, they have to jump over into my blog and respond there, even though they aren't really responding to my blog entry but what I commented on their blog instead.
So... which was is the right way to respond to comments? Link, or blog-hop?

So today I've completed my filling of the "missing holes" in my New Year's Eve celebrations!
I partied too hard that night and the next morning could remember very little of what transpired! But thanks to my friends, I now have eyewitness reports from multiple reliable sources that confirm I consumed the following (in no particular order):
3 - Vodka & Tonics
2 - Rum & Diet Cokes
2 - "grape fizz" shots
6 - Cranberry & Vodkas
1 - foo-foo martini (I was so drunk I began drinking some other girl's drink)
3 - glasses of champagne
Needless to say, I was a mess the next morning. Who's bright idea was it to mix drinks, anyway?
Highlight of the evening - making out with a 2 different ladies that evening. Unfortunately, my memory is a solid blur-at-best regarding this topic, but my sources tell me I enjoyed it.
Also, I apparently got flashed and gave the girl some beads afterwards. Which raises a new question - where did I get beads from in the first place?
Low point of the evening - on the way home, I apparently stopped and peed on the side of some apartment building. I really, really, really hate it when guys stop and just visibly pee wherever they want... and now I've suddenly become one!?!

Gah... Tuesday, back to work, and here I sit. A lot of people say, "going to work should be fun for you since you run your own business!" Truth is, it makes work 10x more stressful. I have to think about employees, paychecks, unpaid bills, office rent, client happiness, and so on... Even on weekends I'm working (in my head).
The good news - in two weeks, I'll be in Las Vegas! It's for business... which is a perk in this case, because it's all-expenses-paid! I've tried to get some friends to travel with me - and put it on the company bill - but they've all declined. WTF? What's wrong with wanting an entourage of beautiful women on my arms as I saunter up to the craps tables - very suave, James Bond-like - and looking like the stud? Oh, I guess I can only dream... So instead I'll just have to meet up with my Vegas friends... at least one of them is a manager at a club on the strip!
Oh, and another perk of running my own biz - I can surf SG (and other alt-porn) and type this blog entry... and who can say anything about it?

In preparation for the start of the work-week tomorrow, I've been pounding back rum & cokes since 3pm. The good news (I guess) is, tomorrow may very well become a snow day! Yay for snow, but boo for snow-shoveling!
Oh, the pains of having obligations!
I had to turn down tickets to today's Patriots-Jaguars playoff game because I have to go to a birthday party.
As if figure it, birthdays happen every year... but a season of perfection comes along once in a lifetime!
Regardless of my perfect logic, I've opted to do the birthday instead.
