My friend Andy recently asked me to help him redesign his website. He runs fly fishing tours here in Mongolia and wasn’t happy with his current site design. He recently switched most of his websites from Joomla! over to Wordpress. When he came to me with the request I was very excited to help as most of my templating/design experience has been strictly for Joomla! or custom projects, I had yet to really delve into creating a Wordpress theme. During the whole process I learned quite a bit about the inner workings of Wordpress and have already applied this knowledge to working on my own blog...

I just received an email from one of my old Peace Corps friends who lives in D.C. and she said that she saw me on TV yesterday. There was a big (by mongolian standards) party at Grand Khan Irish Pub for the superbowl. Me and some buddies woke up early so we could catch the game. I was quite surprised to see so many people, especially Mongolians who were totally hyped about the game. While I was there a reporter I knew gave me an interview for the AP. Little did I know it would wind up on CNN. Life goal #64 – 15 Seconds of fame. CHECK!
