Thanksgiving in Texas was a whole lot of fun. Saw friends and spent lots of time with family eating food and traveling between Houston and College Station. (I went twice!) Took some footage with my Kodak Zi6, which I'm loving even more the more I use it. I now really want to get a motorcycle. Everyone in my family has one (including my Mom!) and I'm trying to convince my Mom to sell me her Honda CBR F4i that she bought from my brother so she can get this new bike she wants and I can have one. Too bad I don't know how to ride. I wonder if I can find a class during winter in Nashville. Guess I'll try and find out!

New favorite website by the way. letmegooglethatforyou.com. As you can guess it makes fun of your friends who ask you stupid questions on IM or Twitter and you respond by giving them a link to their search term on this site, which shows a video of you clicking the search bar, entering the term and clicking the Search button. It then says, "How hard was that?!" (Here's a link to show you what I mean link)

Now with out further ado, my video I made of a Nortnic Thanksgiving. (Nortnic being Cintron backwards)

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of my two dear friends Paul and Keturah. I've known the couple for just about four years and they are the definition of a relationship that one would like to have. Christ centered and loving, the two will I'm sure have a long and great life together. In honor of their marriage, I shot and edited a video with the Kodak Zi6 and took some photos, which are on the flickr and Facebook for your viewing.

A question I must ask myself many times a day being that I am a Type 1 Diabetic. While I may not enjoy pricking my finger several times a day I do enjoy technology and the web, so I am proud to announce my new website, whatismybloodsugar.com. It answers a simple question to any viewer and uses a combination of Twitter and my SugarStats account. SugarStats is where I upload readings via Twitter and/or email which then publishes my reading to my DCBG twitter account (David Cintron Blood Glucose) which is then published to my whatismybloodsugar site. Add a Twitter bird and a drop of blood and some poorly written CSS and a website was born in the ashes of the democratic electoral storm, on this election of our new president Barack Obama.

I am really hoping I can become a hockey fan. It's something I'm committed to doing. I will support the Nashville Predators and shout discouraging chants to other teams and even glare and shout things at people on the street wearing jerseys from other teams. It's how hockey fans roll. Being that I work at the Sommet Center box office (home of the Nashville Predators) I found out they were giving away free tickets to one of the preseason games a week or so ago and went with a few of my friends. We made a video. It's awesome. Please view it below.

Also in the past week I had a very tragic event occur in my life. It's really pretty hard for me to talk about. I was walking away from the dumpster and pulled Kelly (my iPhone 3G) out of my pocket and proceeded to drop her on the concrete shattered the screen. It sucks. I hope I can get some help from my friends at the Apple store here in Nashville and get Kelly 2.0. I also made a video for this as well. Please enjoy.

I don't know about you, but I was becoming a huge fan of the Muxtape site, a place where one could upload mp3s from your computer and create your own mp3 mixtape. It was great for hearing what other people like and discovering new music. Music that I would later buy for myself (Someone get the RIAA to read that last sentence). Well, as all things musical that violate copyrights do, it was shutdown by the RIAA, or if we are to believe the message on the site, "Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA." I'm thinking it's more shut down for good, so luckily I heard about a similar piece of web software called Opentape that does the same thing, except you host it yourself and serve up the mp3s from your own server, instead of using Amazon S3 like Muxtape (which is pretty cool). I've got mine set up at davidcintron.org and I invite you to go and listen to some of the mp3s I'm currently enjoying.
