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!

A well needed update!

Well I haven’t been updating this much lately as I have been very busy with working on the new Allstar Graphics website, scheduled to launch in early September. It incorporates a lot of my recent trends with SEO and PHP, and it’s really quite slick.

Also, I have not yet made a post about this but my wife and I are expecting a baby on October 26th! :) It’s a boy and we have chosen his name to be Jack Valentino. I even went as far to buy jackvalentino.com. We’re both very excited.

I’ve been getting back into my photography and I recently picked up some new stuff, which I will post about later.

No news is good news?

Well, I haven’t updated much on here because I’ve been busy working, and taking care of personal things. With my wife being pregnant, we’ve had to do so much around here to get ready for it, which takes up a lot of my personal time.

I’ve had a lot of work come in lately for Allstar Graphics which is great, but much of it is very time consuming. We have some high volume orders coming in soon that we have to prepare for also. It is fun though. I really do enjoy running Allstar Graphics (West).

I also have been working on a bunch of websites lately for Technotic Media. Some redesigns for previous customers as well as new sites, and a redesign of the Allstar Graphics site.

I’ve finally made some good progress on my truck, a 2003 Ford F350 PowerStroke. The truck has undergone an extreme transformation, and has been in progress since the end of January. Hopefully within the next few weeks, it will be done, and can go to East Coast Audio for some audio work.

This Wednesday, I’ll be going to the drag strip (NYIRP) and running the bike there. It will be the first time this year, also since the gearing change, air filter, exhaust, and tune. I’m hoping to break into the 10’s but I suck at launching!

Be back soon with more updates!
