Recently I’ve been working on a few projects that have been moving along quite slowly. The old PulseBlogger.com has changed dramatically to a blog about blogging. I will be posting my WordPress and blogging articles there from now on and keep this site for more personal posts (which will most likely appear less often). Hopefully PulseBlogger will pick up some momentum soon and kick start me back into the blogging rhythm.

Another thing I’ve been working on is a supercharged WordPress theme. I don’t think I am at the point where I can design one totally from scratch, however I can fool around with the work of others quite succesfully. On Patrick DeVivo dot com, I am currently using the Jello-Wala-Mello theme by Small Potato. I think it’s a wonderful theme, but lacks some of the features of great freemium and premium WordPress themes today. That’s why I’ve been working on trying to “supercharge” it. There will be more about this in the near future, and it will be availible for download soon. However please note that I am learning as a go, so it may take a little while to get it up to the standards I believe it should be at.

The Youth Bloggers Network is putting along slowly, I would like to devote more time towards it, but unfortunetely I have a lot of other stuff to juggle. Not much new from that front, but hopefully more soon.

I caught a glimpse of some of the Google Mappers in Central Park yesterday. I was able to snap a few photos on my BlackBerry, here they are (click to enlarge):

The cart that they were using needed two people to operate. There was one person in the front pedaling the bicycle-like vehicle while the other person pushed it from the back. It seemed like a lot of heavy equipment that they pushing around the park - it certainly made a lot of noise. Maybe my picture will be on Google Maps. I’ll have to see.

Pictures taken from various members of a short expedition I went on over the summer of 2008 in Idaho and Montana. I will continue to upload pictures to this gallery, so check back if you want to see more. Also - be sure to check out the pictures in “slideshow mode”.
