I’ve got a new project, building an AR-15 from the ground up. This is what they end up becoming:
This is what I’m starting with:
I have bought a parts kit for the lower (the piece above), which includes the trigger, various springs, etc.
Not sure what I’m gonna do for the receiver/upper and what caliber I am going with. I could do .22LR, 5.56mm, 6.8 grendal. Suggestions? I’m kinda leaning for 5.56 right now, even though I’ve already got one.
It has been a long time since I posted a blog entry. But I thought I’d give you this:

I’m working with two of my old schoolmates to build and launch a couple startups before August. I’ve been on a hiatus from programming for awhile too, and now I’m starting to get back into it. Feelsgoodman.
Well, I’m back from Affiliate Summit 2011 in Las Vegas. It was a blast. You can read my short writeup and also read my biz partner’s review here on internethustle.com as well. It was a good experience for sure, just a very good reminder that I need to be hustling more!
My biz partner released some software called Mobile Admin Template, which is a very useful and handy template system for a backend for your web app. Great for developers that want a mobile backend.

I’ve been to Vegas before and I’m going again soon, but my sister is going soon and she asked my advice since she’s never been there.
While in Vegas for the first time, Strom Carlson, introduced me to Rands Vegas System.
This is a MUST READ four part article for anyone going to Vegas. And if you’ve been to Vegas, you’ll still get a kick out of it.
This year is just FLYING by. I’m also learning a lot about everything lol.
I’ve furthered my Asterisk knowledge far enough to install it for a client and think of a new business idea (coming soon). I also found out you can’t use Skype subscriptions with Digium’s SkypeForAsterisk channel driver. They only allow you to use pay-as-you-go minutes. What a retarded idea. Digium only gets binaries from Skype and then reports bugs, but I’m told it takes at least 6 months to patch any serious ones. This was a very costly mistake I learned. Digium’s support is absolutely awesome. You actually talk to a real person who is American and if that isn’t good enough, you can also speak with engineers who will help you. It’s just amazing. Skype only has email support based out of India 
no fun.
I am attending a few more conferences these next few months: Geekend 2010 here in Savannah and Affiliate Summit 2011 in Las Vegas. I am excited about both. Opportunities abound!
I’ve been a bit busy to keep up with my beer making. The latest is a Belgian Witbier, which is DELICIOUS. I am planning on a pumpkin ale and an Oktoberfest lager this month/later this month.
Another startup is in the works with a friend regarding my love for WordPress, I’ll announce it shortly 
MailChimp is still treating me great, btw. They also upped their plans. The free plan can now have 1000 emails and has the ability to send 6000 per month. Talk about awesome.
A few other toys I am and will be playing with: Chargify, Shopify, and Get Satisfaction.
I am always on the lookout for a good hosted shopping cart, so if anyone has suggestions, plz2comment.
I’ve been busy. This August marked Savannah’s first WordPress WordCamp! Some good speakers were there including Matt Mullenweg, Jane Wells, Mark Jaquith, Andrew Nacin to name a few. Here’s a very bad picture I took with phone of Matt speaking.
I also got to attend Savannah’s annual Craft Brew Fest with a couple of friends. This was a great event to be at. We had the right idea to park downtown and take the ferry to the event, which was hosted at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center. Great selection of beers from all over the nation, I think with a running total of over 120 brews. Only downside is that most of the breweries were actually not there and just represented by local volunteers Here is a pic from the event right when they opened. An hour after this picture was taken, the place was crammed packed full of people.
