New Theme

Posted by admin under Uncategorized - April 13, 2010

So I decided I didn’t like the way my blog looked. Im no designer, so I found a theme I like. I think I’ll keep this one for a little bit and see how I like it. Let me know what you think!

A New Beginning

Posted by admin under Personal - April 11, 2010

So today is going to be a new beginning for some things in my life. I want to make a few good changes. I’d like to start biking more often, eating healthier and blogging more often. Hopefully if I write enough, I can keep myself on track for things. I feel that writing about my experiences will help me with a few things. So what I’d like to do is eventually ride 10-20 miles on my bike daily, eat healthier and write a blog entry every day. Is it possible? Sure. I just need to discipline myself to do it. It will probably be a rocky start, but I’m up for the challenge. If anyone eants to help by going out riding, or eating somewhere good, let me know! Leave a comment or simply email me at jordan [at] jordanbommelje [.] com

So here’s a start…

SpiderOak

Posted by admin under Uncategorized - April 10, 2010

So SpiderOak is an online backup solution for syncing your files from a computer to a cloud storage. At first I wasn’t too crazy about it because I had a few issues, but after the kinks, things have been great. It automatically keeps things backed up without me needing to think about it. I still use Drop Box for some things, however SpiderOak is another tool I will be using in the future. If you’re interested, please check them out: Sign Up!

Accomplishing Day!

Posted by admin under Personal - April 7, 2010

So this morning I woke up, found a little extra money, so I used it to pay some bills, and also get a couple tubes for my bike. Replaced the tube and rode around for a few minutes to make sure it was ok. Damn it feels good to ride again. Can’t wait for summer!
Also can’t wait for my Canon 40D to show up any time from the Canon repair center. It’s been a year with out it, and a couple weeks ago I finally stopped procrastinating and shipped it off. Can’t wait to take a look and see what the issue was. Hopefully they’ll tell me.
Tonight I’m also taking my car over to my dad’s so he can help replace a coolant flange so my car isn’t over heating anymore. I’m interested to see if the AC works on the car since I got it in winter and couldn’t really test it. More to come if things go well even more later.

Roc Rider – Rochester’s Bike Community

Posted by admin under Uncategorized - March 18, 2010

Hey guys, I’ve had Roc Rider up and running for about a year now, and there was a little bit of activity at first, but I’d really like to get it going again. Spring season is upon us and I’d like to maybe do some meets and get some good information on there. Check it out at http://www.rocrider.com

Body Modification Community Site

Posted by admin under Uncategorized - August 30, 2009

I’ve been considering creating a Body Modification Community site for a while now. I like BME, however I don’t like having to pay for a membership for BME or IAM. I’ll be thinking about features people might like to see. If you’d be interested in a project like this, please contact me. I’d like to have a free membership for people and have a few options for paid memberships/advertisement. Thanks a lot.

Just Purchased a NetBook: Acer Aspire One

Posted by admin under Uncategorized - June 28, 2009

So a year ago, I purchased an Acer Aspire One, and I thought it was pretty cool. There were features about it that I wasn’t crazy about, however. I wasn’t too pleased with the keyboard, and the screen was a bit too small. I ended up selling it because it just wasn’t something I could see myself using a lot.
The other night, I was in Walmart just looking for a tube for my bike when I casually stopped by the electronics department which I do a lot. I just skimmed by the laptops and noticed a new netbook. It was a new Acer Aspire One. The keys were a great feeling and full size! Not to mention, the screen was 11.6″ HD display. This was a million times better. I immediately purchased the laptop to take home and play around with it. So far so good. I’m still playing with it and learning the things it can do. Once I get some more time with it, I’ll be posting a review on it to let people know what I think!

Edit: Ended up selling the Acer to fund a new bike for commuting. Details to come!

iPhone Development

Posted by admin under iPhone Development - June 1, 2009

For a long time I’ve wanted to start getting in to iPhone development. I’d like to spend some time each day learning more about developing applications for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I’m going to start with some basic stuff and grow into bigger stuff. When I start doing some stuff, I’ll make sure to post my progress so that everyone can check it out!
