I still have yet to finish the about/history section of the portfolio. This might take a while, because I will be inactive for the next two days. However, I don’t feel that the section is particularly important to the portfolio. Nevertheless, it will still be updated by the weekend.
Overall, the new portfolio is about 80% complete. I don’t feel that adding lists and lists of minor items/projects will make it look any more appealing than what is already here, so I won’t.
Anyways, I’ve just finished watching the AL Central tiebreak (game 163) between the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers.. and man, was it ever a good game. The Twins won with a walk-off 12th inning hit off Fernando Rodney (to Rodney’s credit, he pitched 3 amazing innings). The Tigers have effectively squandered a 7-game division lead in early September.. and a 3 game lead with 4 games left in the regular season.
The Twins went 17-4 in their last 21 games to force a tiebreak, and only lead for one inning prior to winning the tiebreak. Oh what a game… so glad I had some time today to watch it (I’ve never actually watched any Tigers game.. and only one Twins game [tiebreak from last year].. but i’ve often selected Joe Mauer and Miguel Cabrera for beat the streak)
Well, now they have a date with the Yankees… tomorrow. As much as I hate the Yankees and love comeback teams, I would have to be reasonable and predict the Yankees to win with CC Sabathia on the mound and a bullpen-depleted Twins team…
Anyways, I should try to limit the amount of commentary on this supposedly-professional site. But the blog is personal… so I don’t regret it.

About/history updates
Sunday, September 27th, 2009So the new version of edwardsun.com is finally getting underway. There have been delays here and there, but I’m going to be spending quite some time with this site in the days, weeks, and months to come. I’ve had this domain since Jan 7, 2005, but I never really did anything with it expect put up some very static portfolios with year-old updates.
I had a portfolio up for a while.. but I never updated it with new material. It’s sort of because the amount of material I used to have in the old version seemed to be enough to get the attention of many who seeked a programmer. I got a lot of clients despite the lack of updates. It seemed to me like there was no need to update edwardsun.com .. as the old saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
But recently, I’ve decided to add some more .. life .. into this domain. After all, I am alive and well (though the lack of updates in the past few years may have rendered this fact ambiguous). What’s new about edwardsun.com? Well, most importantly, it adds a bit of a personal touch with this blog. This site is not going to be commercialized in any way (it doesn’t need to be).. and it’s just a place where I can ramble about whatever’s on my mind, whenever I feel like it (in many cases, I will write about the news, MLB, NHL, and tropical weather. There will be nothing too personal. I will keep in mind that the focus of this domain is still on the portfolio, and not on my personal life).
Recently, I wrote part 1 of my online history. I’ve allocated a few hours a day to making this particular domain look good.. so there will be more to come.
Unfortunately, the updates won’t come daily. I would love to, but I have some other stuff I have to deal with. However, I am dedicating a lot of time to this domain in the coming days, weeks, and months.. It’s my namesake, and I never really took care of it properly. But there is a lot of stuff I can put here that will probably explain why I chose to neglect updating edwardsun.com. Stuff that I’ve done instead of updating a portfolio that seemed to work anyways. Look for them in the coming days.

A bit of an MLB note, Roy Halladay secured his 4th consecutive 16-win season with a 7-hit shutout. He is now 16-10 with likely one start left (@Boston vs. Tim Wakefield). What a guy. One of my most respected professional athletes.. and probably near the top of my list of most respected people in general. (these are mental lists)
