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:

Some pics from the day:

Can’t wait for next time!

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!

mikecentola — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:25:54 +0000

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.
