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! 
JackValentino.com is up! Leave Jack a message on his very own guestbook
We finally got to hold him today He opened his eyes and looked right at us!!!!!
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!
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.
Just posted up some new articles on rspeed, one written by me, and another written by a friend of mine, Dave Moffitt. Check them out!
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!
Well, I just recently returned from California, after visiting with the Rice Boy Media guys. Ricky Chu, John Naderi, and Mike Robleto, formerly of Super Street Magazine, have started up RiceBoyTV.com, an online TV and media site.
Considering these guys are some of the top-notch media professionals in the industry, I was not surprised to see their following and how well the site is doing, having only been launched for a short time now. I had an incredible time at their office, and felt very welcome.
Their site is all about the import and motorsports culture, ranging from feature car reviews to model interviews, and even racing coverage. They do a great job of adding humor with factual coverage and they have a wealth of knowledge to share with the world. I can recommend, first-hand, that their knowledge is deep and the site definitely shows this!
On to the good news! I, as Technotic Media, will be providing graphic design services for RiceBoyTV.com, as well as some vinyl graphics jobs, and possibly some video work into the future. I’m hoping to be able to help them out on the east coast, as well as take some of the work load off of them. They welcomed me as part of their team, and I think this is a great start to, hopefully, a great strategic partnership between Rice Boy Media and Technotic Media. Additionally, I will be taking over administration of their forums, hoping to clean it up and focus it on content to complement the main site.
Visit their site at www.riceboytv.com and be sure to check out their forums as well!
Finally got around to creating a site with mikecentola.com. What better to make than a blog to talk about all the things I can babble on about! Anyways, welcome to my site, and I should some good information coming up about automotive topics, computers, networking and more! Thanks for stopping by!
