Commuter/Driving Playlist and Where The Hell I’ve Been…
Whew it’s been a while eh? Life’s been throwing me some curve balls lately so blog posts have been few and far between but hopefully that will change soon. Let me give you a small update on what the hell I’ve been doing!
Life – Is Good! I’ve been mostly working the 9-5 @ Decision Lens and loving it. The commute is a bitch but I’ll be moving out to Arlington, Virginia December 1st, so I can put up with it for the next few months. Also I have been hard at work getting a new look together and some cool new features in place for The College Blog Network, hoping to make the changes public soon, oh if there were only more hours in the day!
Work – Is awesome. I love my job, the people I work with are awesome and the city I work in is amazing, clean and quiet yet full of people. I have been kicking ass and taking names as far as my work schedule goes, I’ve managed to get wayyy ahead of schedule and that means some sweet new features for our clients which they weren’t slated to get for months. We are planning a big release for Monday and after that the whole company is going out to the Audi Driving Event where I’ll get to tear up the track in an S5 and R8 as a teambuilding exercise… gotta love that!
So anyway, enough with the lame life updates, lets get to the good stuff. At present I have a pretty wicked commute into work, about 70-120min one-way depending on traffic, and in a crappy ‘98 civic with no A/C in 90F heat. So, in order to get my mind off the brutal situation I find myself in twice a day, I put together a banging playlist to get me through the traffic/heat I thought I’d share since I know many of my fellow TCBN bloggers may also be finding themselves in similar situations.

Also keep an eye out for a blog redesign, it’s about time this thing got a change of clothes. Rock on!
