A Large Turtle

So this is the turtle we saw as we were travelling in Jacksonville near Regan's house over the weekend. It was REALLY big, and weighed easily 12-15 pounds. He also dumped some water on me in a panic when I picked him up. He was on the road and was not going to be able to get off because there were high curbs.. so Regan pulled over, and I grabbed him.

Vacation was fun. I'll put up more pictures in a bit.

Checking In...

This has been a strange few months. I haven't posted since JULY! The loyal readers of sethcheek.com deserve better...

Tuesday and I are back in my old place. (Tuesday is my cat.) I'm still working at the station as the Web Manager. We're getting back into the swing of things with ActionCorpTV, finally. I'm heading down south to visit Regan soon. Things are good.

Remember that massive site overhaul I talked about in the post below. It may happen. It may not. It's not like anyone comes here anyway! But now that I have some more time to myself, I might just push myself to get it done. This isn't too super-professional, I know. But what blog is?

I've actually thought of doing some sort of independent audio-only podcast on my site, just about the ramblings I have of the day. Maybe record it in the car on the way home or something. But man, even the people I KNOW don't want to hear my random ramblings. Why would strangers or casual site visitors give a crap?!

I'm waiting patiently for Splinter Cell: Double Agent, and impatiently for the demo that they REALLY should put out soon.

Out With the New, In With the Old

Alright, for the two of you that read this site, here's what happened (if you don't already know). Lindsay, my girlfriend for the last four years, and I split last month, and I moved in with my parents for a while to get back on my feet. Didn't really feel like broadcasting it at the time, don't feel like going into it now.

So for the last few weeks, I've been looking for a place to live. I looked at some places on the east side, some places downtown, then I remembered that my landlords from my old place had several properties that they rented out. So I gave them a call, and asked if they had anything available.

They told me that not only was something opening up in ten days, but it was MY old apartment. I LOVED that apartment. It was HUGE, and I had a lot of fun down there.

So today, I go sign the lease, and I begin moving in this weekend. I'll be recruiting Craig and Sean to help me.

If you knew me 4-5 years ago, you'll know the place. I'll put up some pictures of it later today when I go down to sign.

Sorry to be so cryptic with my last message. I just didn't feel like chatting about it.

Big Changes (in Several Things)

As some people may already know, I'm going through some MAJOR life changes now. I won't go into them now, but will talk more about it as things start to calm down.

What that means for this site is that it might not be messed with for a while. I know, I know. For those of you that come to this site often (I don't know of any), they'll notice I don't necessarily update this thing all the time, anyway.

Well, when I come back, I want to put more time into it. I'm now the number one search term when 'seth cheek' is typed into Google now! My guess is that has a lot to do with Blackbolt putting my site on his Links page at his site.

I feel like I'm kind of sitting on a real opportunity now, so I want to make this site more than an infrequently updated blog. I'd like to add some other info about me, keep a running resume, a photo gallery, etc. BUT, I don't want to do it right now, as my computer is now packed away, and all I get are brief windows online at work.

So, I'll be back, and hopefully better.. =)

A Big Day for Geeks

Today is, as most people are aware, 06/06/06. End of the world, sign of the devil, blah blah blah..

In REALITY, it was a big release for two things that many people have their eyes on in the gaming community.

The first, as I said in yesterday's post, is Blackbolt's skin for XBMC, called MC360. (BTW, the trailer is up to 28,000 views at last check!)

The second is a dashboard release for the REAL Xbox 360, that among 123 other things adds downloading in the background and the ability to boot to the dash, even if a disc is in the tray.

I'm excited about both.

Also, tonight I will be watching the finale of the Apprentice. I didn't get to watch it last night, so tonight TiVo will be my friend. I'm picking Sean, because Lee is WEAK, but there's no telling who Trump will pick.

Welcome to anyone who stopped by from Blackbolt's site. I think it's considerate and HILARIOUS that he threw my site up there on his links page. I can't imagine I've got anything enticing you to come back, but thanks for stopping by!
