My wife and I are married now… And Vegas was swesome.

Las Vegas is also the perfect place for nice, simple, romantic weddings. Vegas weddings.

Everything went according to plan and we had a great time. The wedding was memorable and eventful.

Thanks to everyone who attended the web-cam ceremony.

While in Vegas and since I’ve been home, I’ve been updating my resume and checking out opportunities. I looked around in Vegas, but it doesn’t seem like the type of town I’d like to live in.

No, I’m thinking somewhere along the ocean.

Tampa maybe?

June 16th, 2010. This is my wedding day!

I'm excited even though I've been with Amy long enough we already feel we're married.

For many, a Las Vegas wedding seems cheesy, but for Amy and I... a Las Vegas wedding is perfect and satisfies all our ideas of a dream wedding.

She's from China and her family is in China, while my roots are in the eastern United States. Just as her family is unable to attend a wedding here in the USA, a Las Vegas wedding does the same to mine.

We're not going to experience a "drive-thru wedding" by any means. In fact, we've arranged for a nice, simple, event filled wedding, which will be broadcast over the internet at 9:00pm Vegas time.

Historically, Amy hasn't been much of a picture person, but the past year or so she has become just that. So, we've arranged for a photographer to follow us around in a limo after the ceremony.

Finally, we've arranged for a Sunset Helicopter tour of the Vegas strip and a champaign landing in the Grand Canyon.

I'll be back in a week.

I’ve been updating my pages and my webJestic.NET social wheel and haven’t had too much time for development. I am glad to say that I’ve improved my sound and video quality since I made all those Delphi for PHP videos.

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been becoming more involved with SEO services recently. So, I’d like to just share this with you. Automated SEO software is generally not worth looking at, but SEO Power Suite (aff) is an SEO audit tool that I wouldn’t want to live without.

I’ve spent the weekend updating my pages. I’ve been “live drafting” my static pages on this site, because I find it interesting to observe the spiders as they come and investigate my site. The final content is designed specifically for human readers, but I do my best to make them SEO friendly.

I’ve also set up the social network for webJestic.NET. Generally, I’m not much of a social person. I just don’t have it in me to give enough attention to the web 2.0 properties to make it worth while. Never-the-less, I’ve established my little social wheel for webJestic.NET and I do have a plan for each of the spokes.

Finally, now that I’m back in the USA, I’ve made some equipment upgrades and have the ability to produce better sound quality for my videos. However, I doubt I fix the sound on any of my previous videos.

For those of you who are unaware, I’ve been in China for a little more than a year. However, I’m back in the good ol’ United States now and have time to play with my hobby sites again.

I apologize to everyone who’s been waiting for me, it seems there has been a fair amount of activity for this site ( although I thought it would be dead and silent by now ).

I’m still heavily involved in web development using PHP and I fully intend to update my content and get things rolling again, as it’s not only fun for me, it’s always interesting to go back in time and see what I was doing.

I plan to begin updating my home page and my templates page this week.

Thanks for all the kind words and emails, I really appreciate it.
