Just wanted anyone that may be still looking at this blog to know that I have stopped posting here and have moved to a new space. My new and improved personal/tech blog can be found here at Blog.DevonSchreiner.com.
I realize this is a little bit late, as I haven't posted on this blog in a while but there it is. So check out the new blog and enjoy my crazy thoughts. Let's see if this will be the last time I retire my Blogger blog or not. :)

Day 17: 9/14/2011 | The Blog Blender
So here is the revelation of today: I can't keep up with more than one blog. Heck, I can barely keep up with one at a time. And I feel really bad about it. I've started multiple blogs and wish that I could update every single one of them all the time, but I can't.
That leads me right into the solution of this post. I think I'm going to end up combing at least two of those blogs, which would probably include this one. Right now, I am planning on combing this, my personal blog, and The Tech Blender, my technology focused blog.
"But how, Devon?" you're asking yourself, "a personal blog and a technology blog don't go together!" Well, before you get your pants in a bunch, let me explain. Since I started The Tech Blender back in February, 2010, I've been posting on and off but honestly, mostly off. It's hard for me to keep blogging on multiple different blogs. I also know that I will never make it big with The Tech Blender. I will never be hiring a staff, it will never be my full-time job. So why try to make it that?
I'm going to be turning this combined site into a personal blog about my life, my technology and everything that's going on around me. I'll be able to post anything without fear of it being out of the guidelines of the blog category.
So bear with me as I'm combining the sites, playing with templates and experimenting with different looks. Hopefully it will be done here soon.

Day 14: 9/11/2011
Two weeks. Fourteen days straight of writing on this blog (with the exception of one day I wrote the next morning because I completely spaced it...). But non-the-less, I'm proud of myself. I've stuck to it for two weeks and I plan on keeping it going. I have been doing some thinking though and I'm going to be switching this up a little bit to hopefully keep it more interesting for me and for everyone else.
As of right now, I've just been doing a recap of the day. I did this, then this, then I went here, then this happened. It's really boring. So instead of doing a recap, I'm going to pick one thing from the day and write a little bit more in-depth about that thing. Something I see, something I do, something I thought of or something that happens. I think this will be much more entertaining and helpful to everyone involved.
Some examples that I was thinking I could have used for the blog today: The fact that it's the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the season opener for the Vikings today that they lost..., going to the Humane Society today, something a little bit more important that I can talk about for a while. This also leaves the blog open to more than one post/important thing a day as long as I keep to the guideline of at least once a day.
So there you have it, the one thing I talked about today is the plan for the new way I'm going to utilize this blog and try to make myself better. Chances are it will be pretty easy to figure out tomorrow's topic, I start work at BrightPlanet tomorrow. That is also the reason I should get to bed....

Day 1: 8/29/2011
Alright, so here it is. I am now going to blog every day, just to talk a little bit about what I'm doing and what's going on in my life. This is something I don't really think is going to do much for anyone else, but it will help me write more as well as serve as a journal I can go back and look at anytime I want.
So I'm going to get right in. Today started my fifth to last day at the court house. I know this now because I just called Mac Pros this afternoon and told them I would take the job there. So I will be starting work there on Sept. 12th. It should be a lot of fun, or at least I think so.
After work, I also got to start my Database Management Systems class at the University Center. There are a couple of old guys in the class that have no idea what they are doing and they got kind of annoying.
Then the big moment came, I decided to write this blog post. I'm starting something big here. Challenging myself to write something every single day for the rest of forever is a big deal. I know that I won't do it every single day for the rest of my life, but I think it would be fun to be able to look back after doing it for a couple years. I am also really excited because I got Katie Stumpf, my girlfriend to do it with me! Here is the blog she is using.
So there it is! Probably longer than most of these posts are going to be, but this is it. This is what I wanted to do. Just a snapshot of my life today. Mission Accomplished. Tomorrow: The same exact thing.

Ramblings of a Blogger
A while ago I was surfing the web and started reading this young man's blog. Now it was fine, it was a small, personal blog and he was blogging on it. Then I noticed the title:
Now I admit, my first blog was titled something along those same lines. That's another reason it boggles my mind. Why is the word "Ramblings" such an enticing word to use as an amateur blog title?
Has anyone else ever noticed this coincidental word choice? Do you know why people use this word on blogs but no where else? Have you made a blog with "Ramblings" in the title?
The Ramblings of a College Kid.It hit me. Why do so many blogs use the word "Ramblings" in their title?

Swag
How's it going?!?
Ya, me too. Well I just thought I would let everyone know I am going to be blogging a little more. I've got a couple of ideas that I'm going to be implementing in the next couple weeks here. Just trying to make a little extra money here and there.
First, I know that no one wants to hear this, but I'm going to be doing some reviews and things on the blog here. Try to make some extra money. You know, just doing the college kid thing and trying to make it all work.
Second, I've got some things that I will probably be putting on eBay. I'll make sure that those get up on here too, it won't be much, but that will all be up.
I've also started up a CafePress store, SunSchrein's Shop. I've got some really simple designs that I wouldn't mind having in shirts. Some things that I can't believe that I haven't seen yet.
So I guess this is just kind of a little update, and I will be doing this a little bit more regularly.

Wondering What To Do: We'll Just Have To Wait And See
I am starting to wonder, how many times will it take before I actually start using and writing in the blog on a regular basis. That and when will I use my website for something regular and productive. I should really do something with it because I'm paying for it. Hmmmm... If anyone has any good ideas I am definitely open. Right now it's here: DevonSchreiner.com.
I actually have kind of a good story though. Yesterday Kevin and I took a nice trip to Sioux Falls with two lovely Russian foreign exchange students. It was really fun and interesting even though half the time we couldn't understand each other. We went to the mall, Guitar Center, Last Stop CD Shop and even to the Falls Park. Fun day.
So other than that I'm not sure what to do. I'll probably (or hopefully) just start posting a bunch of random stuff like this because I don't really know what else to do. I'll try to keep it a little interesting though, unlike this post...
