Today is 3 years

Yep its hard to believe that three years ago today we moved into what was then our “new house”.  Since then we have remodeled the entire house finishing up the inside during my vacation in October of last year.  Which was not all that bad when you think about all the days I have been on the road.  Technically we have been in the house 1095 days and of those days I have spent about 225 nights on the road.  So if you do the math I have been gone 20% of the time that we have owned the house (29% of the time if you just count business days).

Enough math now the important bit.  Like any good homeowner I have before and after pictures showing all the work.  Sure I could just post the pics but a movie is always better enjoy!

Changes to the Jake Stapleton Web Dynasty

I will no longer be posting to my FriendFeed account.  The service rocks but with it recently being purchased by Facebook it just reminded me that I am relying on a service to archive my web content that I really have no control over.  So I am going to begin using twitter and my own WordPress implementations to archive and distribute content myself. (with a little help from twitter)

My personal web page can be found as always at www.jakestapleton.com with my personal twitter account being backed up there once a week in the form of a post.

My more opinionated content can be found at www.jakesopinion.com a more recently launched site so that JakeStapleton.com can remain for personal use and updates only.  (There is also a link to the Jake’s opinion content in the sidebar of jakestapleton.com)

I also have a twitter account just for my more opinionated web content it can be found at http://twitter.com/jakesopinion this twitter account will be backed up daily in the form of a post at www.jakesopinion.com and will replace the recent “things you outta know” postings. (Really enjoyed doing them just too many time constraints) This should enable me to get more content out in a timely fashion with my busy schedule.

Many of you may think that this is just silly to do all this.  However I also know that many of you read my links and articles and use them as a source of news and maybe on some rare occasions insights and I would like to keep that up.  Plus with the things going on today the more informed you are the better off you will be.

I am still debating on continuing to use twitter to update my facebook status but time will tell on that one.  Some much information to share and so little time to do it in.

Yes I know I really should be working on other things like stuff that actually earns me a living but I do find this relaxing.  Everyone have a great week.

You can see everywhere I am on the web here.
