new projects

I've been working lately on some new projects, and they've got me stressed out like crazy! I am trying to learn this new e-commerce software, Magento, and while I believe it is a great e-commence system, I think it almost needs to be dumbed down for me, haha.

I should have some more updates soon with one of the new sites! :)

Some Pics and Video from Autocrossing

This past Sunday I was able to get over to the Finger Lakes Region SCCA Autocross. I had a great time and while I only came in 11th place, I improved greatly throughout the day. I had never autocrossed a rear wheel drive car before, so it took some getting used too! I plan to attend the next one on October 5th, to see how I would do :)

Video of my last run:

Jack Valentino is Here!

Yesterday, my wife, Erica and I went into the hospital around 6am because she was having some weird stomach pains. These turned out to be contractions, and they decided at 9am to do an emergency c-section. An hour later, at 9:59 AM, Jack Valentino Centola was born 3lbs 15oz. He was only 34 weeks, so he is 6 week premature. He is having some breathing problems, but they were able to stabilize his blood pressure and his blood sugar level. We have been transferred to Strong Memorial Hospital, and Jack is in the NICU, one of the best in the country.

He is doing great and getting better every day. He is in our prayers... He's a fighter!
