Newborn Apple®

I didn’t realize how involved updating the current installation of WP 2.6 would be. You see, the Newborn Apple blog doesn’t just come pre-packaged like this. It’s based on WordPress templates and scripts that need to be implemented into a web server. In order for the website and all it’s cool plugins and blogging capabilities to work someone has to create the backend (this is all the PHP, AJAX, JAVAscript, etc) coding that makes it all run in the server. I don’t write code. I do more frontend (CSS, HTML etc) design.

Had another late night. Headed up to Hercules at around 7pm to help my mom prep around 50 Rockafella Oysters for AJ’s birthday party today. Didn’t realize how much work that was going to be. We had to clean them (the act of scrubbing the residual soot and dirt off of these by hand) and had raisined fingers and tender palms by the end of it all.

I usually park a couple blocks away from work. It’s not like I want to, I just don’t really have a choice. All the parking closer to my work has a 2-hour limit then I gotta have the sense to move the car around to another spot or get the a $30 parking ticket. The company I work for used to pay for the parking tickets because parking just sucks.

YUP. You read that right. The SNEAK is coming. If you’ve seen the past two SNEAKs then you have been reading about our progress for quite some time. That’s a good thing, and a bad thing. Good: because you’ve been a fan of Newborn Apple and we’re thankful for the support.

That’s a lot of giant, shiney and uber-loud ass stickers. YeeeEEE! Later, GREEDY Newborn Apple™

My cousin TRIXX and PINK’s brother (aka Mr. 24, aka Extra-Medium, aka Magna RX) are both celebrating birthdays today. That’s right, on this day more than a quarter century ago, both their mothers lay in different hospital beds in different countries, praying for the pain to end. They lay for hours in labor and agony waiting patiently for the doctor to administer the epidural, although I could be wrong.

I don’t normaly donate money to charities or global causes. I don’t really know why, well, I do know why. I just think it’s a better excuse for me than trying to come up with one. For some reason today I just felt guilty paying the $4 for my coffee and muffin, when that same amount of money could contribute to the empowerment of entrepreneurial women in poorer countries.

My mom threw myself and PINK and small birthday party shin-dig yesterday. Nothing big, just family. I got to see cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Although I love seeing how much “taller and older” my younger cousins get I can’t help but be reminded that I am getting…older. It’s not something I think about constantly. [...]

I wanted to wait and see how this whole Chris Brown and Rihanna shit played out before I decided to post about this. Nobody had any real answers, just concerns and speculations. I no longer need to wonder…I guess the proof is in the pudding. Chris Brown is officially a FUCK-FACE in my book. These [...]

Stickers have gone to print. Spent the last couple of days mocking some up. They should arrive in a couple of days. Bright, glossy industrial grade vinyl…SWEET! I’m mailing a couple out to those of you that may want some. Just hit up this post with “Oohs and Aahs!” and I’ll mail them out to [...]

Do you ever get the feeling when watching tv that you are about to witness something so incredibly stupid and hilarious at the same time that you would blog about it. I did. During an episode of ASAP on the The Filipino Channel (TFC) I was nearly brought to tears from laughter as they did [...]

That’s IT! I think I’m done with JetBlue. I’ve flown with them twice and both times have been incredibly disappointing. The first time I was stuck in the air, circling for nearly an hour. It got dizzying feeling the plane tip from side to side as it circled round and round. I guess you just [...]
