BlogBloghttp://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2010-02-21T10:50:11ZSquarespaceI'll update more... Really I will!http://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2009/11/16/ill-update-more-really-i-will.htmlAmazingAaron2009-11-17T03:50:46Z2009-11-17T03:50:46ZWow haven't wrote anything here in a while. I've been busy. I seem to say that a lot but never have anything to show that I have in fact been busy. I really have been busy with all kinds of projects. In fact I think I'm always busy doing something, its just that I'm always jumping around from project to project never completing any of them. On the other hand I do sometimes finish projects but there not good enough for me so I never show them to you guys thinking one day I'll get around to fixing them or making them better.
    Well I think I've had enough of these long periods of not updating so I'm just going to start being more open to what I'm working on, and even showing you the unfinished project. That way if I never get it done at least I will have gotten to share with you all my half finished project, and if you like it enough maybe you can push me on to complete it.
   So with that I guess I should have something to show you. In some stage of non-completion of course but I really can't think of anything at the moment. So I guess for now I'll just throw out there some of the things I'm working on and I'll elaborate on them later!


XNA game- I'm working on a indie game for the Xbox 360. Nothing to complex Its basically just a Missile Commander clone. It will be my first XNA game.


Wealthy Affiliate- I'm working on using affiliate marketing to help pay for all these projects, and I'm learning about the subject with the help of Wealthy Affiliates tutorials, videos, guides, community and tools. Don't worry I have no intention of spaming my videos and site with junk ads. You might not even notice there. For instance that last link was an affiliate link and if you were to click on it and join Wealthy Affliate I would make a commission from it.


Videos- Believe it or not I really am working on a few videos. Actual quite a few videos! There in various stages of completion, and on a variety of different subjects. I'm working on some of these videos with my friend Mila, and my baby sister Minta. These videos include some comedy videos, but also some tutorial's and a few vlogs on subjects I want to talk about.


Game Maker game- I've wrote about this game before and haven't made much progress seens then but I would like to finish it at some point. Its almost done I just need to set down and finish it.


Lots of other stuff- I have a lot of other projects that are just in the planning stages. Must of them are just in planning because they require money in order to start, hence project number two on this list.

It starts at 2pm EST and I don't know how long its going to last. I'm going to be using a live video streaming service called Livestream (great name huh :P). Livestream lets you easily do screencast so I'll be able to show you all the cool new features of Windows 7. I will also be giving away some things that came with the Windows 7 House Party pack including Windows 7 playing cards, Windows 7 puzzle, Windows 7 bags ect... LOL not much I know but hey whatever, its FREE!

I've created a new page on my site called "LIVE" that you can use to join the party. You can also go to my Livestream page at http://Livestream.com/AmazingAaron .

Hope to see you all tomorrow! And to keep you all entertained till then take a look at this video showing how a Windows 7 house party is supposed to go down. LOL :P

 

]]>Online Live Video Streaming Windows 7 Party!http://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2009/10/14/online-live-video-streaming-windows-7-party.htmlAmazingAaron2009-10-14T04:30:02Z2009-10-14T04:30:02ZContrary to popular believe I am still alive :). I’ve just been really busy moving, fixing our new place and planning some great videos for you all.
I was also fortunate enough to be one of the few that got selected to have a Windows 7 house party! I didn’t even think I would be selected when I applied, but I was, and now I have to have a party LOL! As I said earlier I’ve moved and were fixing the place up while were living here, so everythings a mess, no party here. Also I don’t know many people around here that would want to go to a Windows 7 party anyway so I’ve decided to have an online live video streaming Windows 7 Party! Yah sounds fun don’t it …at least I hope it does :(.
So I really don’t know exactly what I’m doing, but basically I’m going to be having a live video sometime in the not so distant future, and I’m hoping you all will be there to talk about Windows 7 with me. I also hope to be able to have a Windows 7 screencast.
Stay tuned for details!
…Oh and by the way, some people who were excepted to have house partys are selling there party kits, which include a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on eBay, which I think is pretty low. Just saying!

Mobile Mini Conference today and had a blast. I learned a lot and everyone there seemed to be having fun. West came with me, and he had a great time as well. He stuck to the iPhone beginner tutorials all day, and I wondered around to different sessions trying to absorb as much as possible

I also got some great video of everything today. I'm uploading the video as I write this and I hope to have the video up tomorrow!

]]>Awesome Inc. Mini-Conferencehttp://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2009/7/15/awesome-inc-mini-conference.htmlAmazingAaron2009-07-16T03:33:14Z2009-07-16T03:33:14ZI will be going to the Awesome Inc. Mobile Mini Conference this Saturday the 18’th in Lexington KY. I’m really looking forward to it! The conference is on mobile platforms like Google’s Android, Yahoo’s Blueprint, and of course Apple’s iPhone.
Most of the show will be on the iPhone and that’s the real reason I’m going. If you read my blog you know I’ve been wanting to get into iPhone development for a while now, so I hope this event gets me excited enough that I actual do something! I also am hoping to learn a lot of the inside stuff from other developers that will help me avoid some of the pitfalls they have had.
If you live near Lexington KY then you should come I would love to see you there!

]]>Crab Orchard Ky. Parody Travel Video, and a New YouTube Channel.http://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2009/7/9/crab-orchard-ky-parody-travel-video-and-a-new-youtube-channe.htmlAmazingAaron2009-07-09T13:18:34Z2009-07-09T13:18:34ZThis will be the first HD video I've uploaded to YouTube, so I hope it turns out okay! I shot the video with my new HD Canon camera. Its a Vixia HV30 and I love it!
The video is a parody of those travel commercials you see on TV. I thought it would be funny if I made one about my home town Crab Orchard Ky. I know it would never get a real travel video, it is such a small town. I think there are less than 1,000 people living there.
The video features my cousin James Hendrickson, my nephew Devin Richmond, my dad Ansel Petrey, my sister Marie Richmond, and one of my dads friends named "Bud". I don't know his real name. He is kinda quite.]]>I'm #6 on Tweak Today!http://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2009/7/8/im-6-on-tweak-today.htmlAmazingAaron2009-07-08T12:16:24Z2009-07-08T12:16:24Zranked #6 on Tweak Today! I really love that website, and I have really been using it a lot. I love submitting mission ideas the best. So much so that I got blamed for spamming. I got carried away a few nights ago and posted like 20 missions in a row. I thought they were all good mission ideas, but they all got voted down. Maybe they got voted down just because people were annoyed at me taking up the whole mission submission page with my ideas. I can totally understand that and I guess all I can say is Opps!
So anyway I have this great idea to get to first place. I’m going to go back to the very first mission and submit my entry for every mission that I have missed. I only joined a few months ago and the first mission was on February, 29 2009! So I have missed a lot of missions, and it’s a lot of fun to do anyway! I’m also going to try and do video submissions as much as possible, because I think that would be the funniest way to do it.
My current score is 10,360 and in order to reach first place I most reach the current high score of 20,579 held by nicolebliss. There isn’t a page on the Tweak Today site that list how many points you get for each action, but I think I have it figured out:]]>Fun at the fair!http://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2009/7/5/fun-at-the-fair.htmlAmazingAaron2009-07-06T03:46:19Z2009-07-06T03:46:19Z@PhasersOnStun) and her husband Ben, but they chickened out because it was raining. So me, my nephew and my friend West (@seraphdragon) went anyway. I was expecting them to have everything shutdown, but everything was running as usual. The only ride that was closed was the Bumper Cars and even it opened back up later in the night.
Fortunately it wasn't really raining that much after we got there. It just kind of sprinkled all-night, which felt kind of nice. Usually it's super hot this time of the year, and you always get baked at the fair.
We rode a lot of the rides but my favorite is still the Freak Out! I only got to ride it once because the line was so long! It definitely was the big attraction.
I brought my new Canon HV30 and got some nice footage of everything, including the Freak Out. You just have to see the Freak Out in action to understand how cool it is!
I'm going to make a nice video to show you all what was going on.]]>Moving AGAIN! ;(http://www.amazingaaron.com/blog/2009/7/4/moving-again.htmlAmazingAaron2009-07-04T09:53:32Z2009-07-04T09:53:32Z  Well I most hold some kinda record for most moves. I'm moving again and it will be the second time this year alone! we never seem to stay in one place for very long, for one reason or another, but this time around were being forced to move, because the house were living in is infested with mold!
   We bought the house on land contract back in Jan. and the guy who sold it to us did not disclose anything about the mold problem. In fact it seems he tried to hide the problem as best he could! So now while were trying to resolve are issues with him, we are working on the place that we are going to be moving to.
   We are moving to a place we use to live at a along time ago. I must have been 9-10 years old when we moved. My older sister has lived there for most of the time since, but now lives at another place they bought. She is giving the old place back to us, but it is in a BIG mess! Where hoping to get it cleaned up and fixed up soon, so we can get out of the place were in now, and in the new place out of the mold!
   So incase you were wondering why I haven't been making videos lately, or vloging very much, now you know! I’m working on some video ideas and should have them done sometime soon! I haven't made a vlog in a long time either and don't really have a good excuse other than I just haven't felt like it. I'll try to get back to making vlogs soon, because I really do like making them and hearing what you all have to say, so watch for one soon. Till then you can always follow we on Twitter (@AmazingAaron)!
