Hey, I’m Chris!

I love my wife and 5 kids, my consulting opportunities, and my life in general. I love to solve problems and usually like to find ways to do it with Technology. My hobbies include programming and learning about self development (and attempting to improve myself every day). Because lifestyle design is a passion of mine I also love to help other people unlock their true potential. If you are interested in what I am working on right now, you can see it on my Now page.

My small business consulting & web design company is Polished Stone, LLC.

Hey Friend! Welcome to my ramblings.


  • After running last night, and the effects that it caused (coughing for hours…) I decided today that I wasn’t going to go running. I decided that I would do some pushups or situps for my exercising today. Besides, my lungs and legs need a chance to get back in shape. Well time went by, and…


  • Well… It’s official… I am in the WORST shape of my life… I just turned 25, and I can’t even run a mile… The worst part about this, and probably the hardest part of me getting back into shape is that in High School I ran cross country (sometimes 14 miles for practice in about…


  • Ok. I’ve been saying for weeks now that I’m going to start exercising. I just haven’t been able to get myself to do it… It has actually been really easy to put it off with school, work, and then getting sick. We have a trip in a week and a half, and I kept telling…


  • Have you ever had trouble finding a program in your start menu? Well I have lots… OpenOffice.org Writer has always been the worst – It’s just never where I think it will be. Previously I have seen a whole lot of people who claimed that Launchy was a program they just couldn’t live without, and…

  • About 6 months ago, I signed up with a free voicemail service called Private Phone. It was great. They gave me a free local phone number I could give out as my business line, and I got emails every time I got a message. This week however, I learned that they will be discontinuing service…


  • Well this week is thanksgiving break. Finally! It turns out things were even better. I don’t have any classes this week. I do have to work today, and I do have to go on a trip tomorrow morning for my senior project, but overall these two days will be relaxing. The other great thing that…


  • Last week I setup an account at Mint.com. The site is to be used as a “dashboard” for all of your finances. How it works is you first create a free account. You then log in and add a bank account to their interface. This involves giving them the name/url of the bank or credit…


  • Well, today is blog action day. A whole bunch of blogs all around the world are all writing about the environment today. For the past couple of months I’ve been thinking about what I would write today. One thing that I realized is that in the county in New York where I grew up, we…


  • Well, I was sending in my homework, and it was taking FOREVER for it to go through. In the process, I got distracted looking at the information on bandwidth for some of my sites that I manage. I found that one, my brother’s for his book Redonn had a surge of traffic this month. I…

  • October 15th will be blog action day. The idea is to have all of the thousands of bloggers in the world, to blog about the same issue, all on the same day. This year’s topic is the environment, and I am going to participate by writing a post on October 15th. I am joining a…
