That was a good experience getting to know him. \u00a0Additionally, mom and I made it up to see my dad&#8217;s parents north of Orlando, and then to The Villages, northwest of Orlando, to visit mom&#8217;s friends and some more family. \u00a0Overall, a nice trip for us, just to take a breather from the Burgh and see family, something we don&#8217;t experience much of here.<\/li>\n<li>Went to Penn State (State College, PA) last weekend w\/ 2 other founding members of the J-Crew (ole high school buddies)! \u00a0We went up and saw the PSU &#8211; Minnesota football game (my first time in Beaver Stadium&#8230;.awesome experience &amp; a good 20-0 win for the Nittany Lions!) and visited w\/ some girls, 1 being my buddies newly acquired girlfriend (Rumor has it she only invited him up to force him into a relationship, but shhhh, we can&#8217;t let him know she tricked him like that!).<\/li>\n<li>I also made it to my first Pens game this season (not including the pre-season game my bro Jason and I went to) with my dad this past week. \u00a0We saw a great 5-1 win. \u00a0The Pens are really rolling right now, they look great! \u00a0I got to rock my new Lemieux jersey. \u00a0It&#8217;s an old school jersey, circa the &#8217;90 &#8211; &#8217;92 seasons, I&#8217;m pretty stoked about that!<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, solved a minor technical mystery regarding this WordPress powered site. \u00a0My archive pages were only showing the number of posts I set in the Settings &#8211;&gt; Reading page of the Admin section. \u00a0Which was fine, however, I wanted the Home Page to act differently and only show 1. \u00a0Well, with the use of this great tool called <a href=\"http:\/\/vark.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aardvark<\/a>, I found a resolution. \u00a0It&#8217;s a type of Social Networking site in which you asks questions you can&#8217;t typically find easily via a search engine. \u00a0The service then asks other people using the system that have stated they have a interest in or a strong understanding of the topic your asking a question about, and those folks get back to you in about 5 minutes or less! \u00a0I had a few great responses and I ended up finding this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artofblog.com\/thesis-tutorial-7-quick-customizations-to-the-home-page-loop\/#ex1\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a>. \u00a0Anyways, with Aardvark, you can ask any question about any topic: sports, tech, cultures, education, food, travel, etc. \u00a0It&#8217;s great because you get a diverse set of answers and sometimes you find more than you were looking for! \u00a0Be sure to try it out!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, time to go. \u00a0I wanted to get this post up, but I&#8217;m going to try and throw a few pics up in a bit or later tonight. \u00a0Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haven&#8217;t posted in a couple weeks (other than the automatic Twitter posts that post to the site). \u00a0Can&#8217;t say anything too extreme or crazy has been going on, a few small adventures here and there, but otherwise, just keeping Status Quo, which has been a good thing.
