Ok, so I was checking the Internets yesterday, and I came across a link that said “COBRA COMMANDER REVEALED!”. This was in relation to the new movie coming out, “G.I. JOE – The Rise of Cobra”. Needless to say, I’ve always been a fan of G.I. Joe; when I was like 12, I had a big brown box full of the little action figures.
So, back to the story. I clicked on the link and I was taken to the awesome Ain’t It Cool News site, that apparently revealed a stylized version of what Cobra Commander is going to look like in the new Joe movie. Take a look:
….Wow. Am I the only person who seems a little appalled by the design choice for Cobra Commander?! They have such a rich history of design work to use, and they go for a totally different, and uncharacteristic design!! He looks more like a henchman, than the COBRA COMMANDER! I personally would’ve preferred the glass-plate look, since the cloaked look would’ve appeared a little silly on film.
Anyways, I’m going to wait a little longer for the “official” pics of the character before losing all hope for this movie…
So this year, I decided to attend this event in Miami, called BarCampMiami. According to the official website, (www.barcamp.org) BarCamp “…is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.”
Needless to say, the event was pretty awesome! I met some extraordinarily talented people, amongst them Jordan and Caleb from Kallow.com, (check it out; incredible site!) and Craig & Gary from VOIS.com. (You guys rock!)
Kallow.com is a great way to buy electronics.
The venue was the Anokha Restaurant in Coconut Grove which was perfect, thanks in part to the excellent weather. Some of the workshops were held at the Mayfair Hotel across the street, which was breathtaking needless to say!
I also had the pleasure of meeting @JMarieDirect from www.golivemiami.com who did an awesome job at covering the event for all of the world to see!
All in all, I had a blast, and am definitely looking forward to more events from all the participants in the future!

So I’ve embarked on this long journey to learn the WordPress platform, and merely typing “WordPress Themes” on Google has much more information that can be digested in one sitting. There are hundreds of awesome websites out there showcasing user’s abilities to customize themes to their liking.
I’ve got a looong way to go before I can master this, but like some people say, that’s the fun part? :/
Hi! And thanks for stopping by! This is my first attempt at a WordPress blog, and hopefully this will evolve into a much more interesting destination over time.
