Wizzer 2.0 is Up and Running!

Welcome to the new Wizzer 2.0 site, aka Wizzer’s World!!

My Billy Mays costume

The main reason that I decided to re-do the site is because there were a ton of changes, both in my life and with the tech, and since I love new tech I needed an upgrade!  So lets get you all caught up on stuff shall we?

First lets go with some personal life upgrades that have happened.  If you were an avid follower of my blog before you may know some of the smaller details.  Sarah and I tied the knot back in Feb of 2009 and we decided to stop donating a ton of money to other people and invest it in ourselves instead, and by this I mean we bought a house!  We moved in back in July of 09 and have spent the rest of the time updating, and renovating.  Our latest house change has been new windows.  Sadly we had to leave the Fairfax area for Manassas, but it’s not all that far of a move.  We also have a new addition to the family, Husker, our retired racing greyhound.  He is a great dog and Charlie has just started to tolerate him.  While we are on the subject, Charlie is doing great as ever.  He loves the new house.  Andrew is now a Junior in High School and working on getting his License.  He is still struggling to catch up to my gamerscore on Xbox of course.

Now, for tech stuff, there have been some upgrades around here as well.  You probably have noticed that all of the old parts of the website have been redone, turns out that some of the web apps that I was running have never been updated so it was either scrap them and start over or spend hours upon hours trying to upgrade.  I opted to scrap.  WordPress over Blogger, and even the Gallery is updated (though it may change again).  Around the house we have done some tech upgrades.  I now have a full “Man Cave” with my various gaming systems.  There are two Xbox’s, one PS3, one Wii, and the full Rock Band Experience. In the kitchen I added a Chumby. I upgraded my phone from a crappy LG Env2 to a Blackberry Storm, and then again to the new Motorola Droid.  Now if we can just invent the automatic laundry folding machine!!

So there you have it!  In the works I plan on adding quite a few reviews, I recently finished a few games like Assassin’s Creed II, The Saboteur, and I am working on Uncharted 2.  I also wanted to add some words on my Droid phone and a few of the latest movies like Avatar.  So make sure you come back for a visit!
