Pioneer AVIC-F900BT Installation

June 22nd, 2009

Late last year, while I was visiting my friend Chris down in Pensacola, we stopped into a Best Buy and found a sat-nav system for the Golf. After doing some price comparison, shopping around, and conversing with friends, I found and ordered an expandable satellite navigation system.

I ordered the Pioneer AVIC-F900BT Satellite Navigation system, as well as the Sirius radio module, and was able to pick up the iPod connector at a local electronics store. After pulling everything together, and doing some test fits, my dad and I were able to install, secure, and hard-wire the unit into the 2000 Volkswagen Golf. » Read more: Pioneer AVIC-F900BT Installation

The United States Navy

October 3rd, 2008

It’s something that’s been on my mind for the past few weeks. I knew my contract with WebMD was coming to an end and I’ve put my resume out on Dice.com, CareerBuilder.com, Yahoo! HotJobs, and Monster.com, but I’ve only received view replies to jobs I’ve applied for.

The job market, along with the whole economy, has gone down the crapper and finding a job now is going to be more difficult for me. Companies are looking for the ‘all-in-one’ guy, someone who can do PHP development, Flash ActionScript and other programming languages, which I have yet to master. I was even offered a job with AT&T that required knowledge of C++ programming and Java development – I’ve never taken classes on either language. Like I said, I’ve put my resume out there, but results have been few and far between.

I was talking with my friend, Chris Bartleson, about the whole deal and he pitched the idea of joining the Navy. He’s been in for almost 6 years now and enjoys it. And the more I read the website and look at the careers they have to offer, the more intriguing the idea of joining the Navy sounds. The only part I’m some-what nervous about is the 8 weeks of basic training, and of course, cutting ties with everything here in Georgia.
