Pittsburgh G20 – I’ll have the best view in town!

pittsburgh-g20-summit The Pittsburgh G20 summit is only 8 weeks away and I am still excited to see how things turn out.  I hope the weather in Pittsburgh improves by then…but still, I will be in the Brady Communications office watching from above.  We had an incredible view for both Pittsburgh Steelers parades.  I know the summit will be held at the convention center, which is quite a walk from us, but I’m sure there will be plenty of things happening at The Point as well.

President Obama actually invited the Netherlands to the Pittsburgh G20 summit. 

Obama says “"We think that the Netherlands not only is one of the world’s largest economies and most active internationally, but (the) prime minister has very specific expertise and experience in working with a whole range of world leaders."

I think Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende will be impressed at what Pittsburgh has to offer…I’m sure he’ll agree that selecting Pittsburgh as G20 summit host was a great idea.

Mike Filsaime – This Richest Man in New York?

richest-man-new-york The rumor, floating around the world is that my old buddy, Mike Filsaime, is the richest man in New York?  I’m not sure if he is or not, but I could imagine that being the richest man in New York would have its perks. 

So if Mike isn’t the richest, then who is? This post is open to comments, so please feel free to leave your mark…maybe you are the richest person in New York? :)

Pittsburgh Drupal Group

bluebeach_logo I’ve been a strong proponent of using either Joomla or Wordpress as the basis of any content management platform.  I’ve done some work in the past with Drupal but found it to be a little clunky and cluttered for my taste.  However last night I was able to attend the Pittsburgh Drupal Group held at Brillobox and I’ve gotta say that Lin Clark, possibly the smartest girl in Pittsburgh,  really showed me some cool stuff that has got me thinking…maybe i should dabble a little more.

Out of the box, the Drupal administration section is hard to grasp.  So many options, so many links, so much terminology.  However after attending the meeting i was able to see that there are quite a few modules that can be plugged in to change the look and feel of the administration section of Drupal.

If you really want to see what Drupal has to offer AND you life in the Pittsburgh area, I strongly suggest heading to the Pittsburgh Drupal User Group (Meet Up) website to keep updated.

I think the next step for me, obviously is to see how I can take Drupal and run with it to be an SEO powerhouse to promote my chiseled jaw secrets :)

Swine Flu in Pittsburgh? Nope!

I’m sure many of you are wondering if there are any cases of the Swine Flu in Pittsburgh (H1N1), but as of now, I don’t see any cases.  I don’t see any cases in Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania for that matter.

Google is providing an H1N1 Swine flu map to keep track of the progression of the virus.  I will certainly keep an eye on it for any Pittsburgh Swine Flu outbreaks.

The map below is updated dynamically, so if any cases of the Swine Flu in Pittsburgh show up, I’ll see it on the map.

Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles CA

You know, I’ve always wanted a tummy tuck (not really), but for some reason I don’t trust the plastic surgeons here…I prefer to get plastic surgery in Los Angeles CA

plastic surgeon los angeles Whether you are looking for Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles or any other place, men and women of all ages pursue plastic surgery for a variety of reasons. Most plastic surgery patients feel insecure about some aspect of their appearance and seek plastic surgery to boost their self-confidence. Especially in Los Angeles, those people are really concerned about the size of their butts.  So, keeping up with the Jones’ in Los Angeles applies to plastic surgery as well.  Some have been bothered by these cosmetic issues their entire lives, while others have seen a gradual change in appearance as they age and wish to set back the clock with procedures such as facelift or brow lift surgery.

Unrealistic expectations often produce dissatisfaction post-procedure. It is important to discuss your reasons for pursuing plastic surgery with your doctor during a consultation.
