Misc.
Here are some thoughts I’ve had lately…
-Not to sound like a fanboy, but the new iPhone has totally changed the way I use a cellphone. I have never felt so connected to everyone I know (and don’t know).
-Twitter is awesome. Come follow me!
-The Dark Knight was every bit as awesome as all the hype made it out to be. I saw it twice, and I really want to see it again.
-Third Day’s new cd “Revelation” is beyond awesome. Best cd since “Time”. A more in-depth review will becoming sometime soon.
-I’ve been swamped at work recently with my normal job, plus a lot of video editing/production.
-Recently, I have been thinking of an idea for a podcast. I really want to have a “project” that could somehow impact people’s lives.
-Credit Card debt sucks. But getting out of it feels GREAT. Not there yet, but getting there.
-In a strange turn of events, I really enjoy jogging.
-I will be going camping with some of the Riggins men next month for about a week. I can’t wait.
-I feel pretty dry for ideas to post about on this blog. So if posting is a bit spurratic, that’s why.
Ok, back to work!

A Little Bit About Me
Dec 11, 2007 Thoughts
Hello there, readers. I wanted to take a few minutes here and type a little bit about myself, mostly so you all know who I am and what I do. As you know (hopefully), my name is Adam, and I live in the Atlanta, GA area. I work for a large telecommunications company selling Nortel phone equipment. Specifically, I give web-based demonstrations of the phone systems that we sell.
Customers call in wanting to see someone demo the phone equipment. I set up a time with them to do just that, only over the internet instead of in person. I use webcams, regular cameras, live video, Power Point; basically a media-rich presentation all done using WebEx. I have a great time doing it, and it is cool knowing that I am helping businesses with a very important part of their livelihood.
On a personal level, I am into music, technology, media, creativity, and well, that is mostly it. All of that plays a large roll in my life (as you can tell from reading this blog). I co-host a podcast with my buddy Jeff every week. I play guitar in the band at my church, appreciate the well-written song, love to eat out with friends, and have a heart for others who are struggling with crap in their lives.
So there. That is a little about me. Now, back to the regular posts!

Time magazine’s "Person of the Year" is Me? I win!
Dec 18, 2006 Uncategorized
I just wanted to thank all of you who voted for me for TIME magazine’s person of the year. Apparently, according to the cover of the latest issue, I won. I think it is because of this blog and all of the sories we here at Check Please!? tend to cover. We were there when the person found the frog in their lettuce. We were the first to the scene when the man walked into the airplane propeller. And who can forget the phone in the butt?
You see, I guess it is journalism like this that wins awards, and more importantly, changes lives.
So again, thank you.
