Not much to say today other than I’m now 23 years of age! Posting around here has been a little slow and will continue to be for a while. I caught some virus and have had fever for the last week and according to the ER doctor at the hospital, it’ll be another week or two 4-6 weeks before I get my energy back. In the meantime, I’ll be playing Flight Control in bed with my shiny new iPhone 3GS.
I’ve got a lot of good post ideas in the pipeline, including a simple HDR photo how to. As always, you can suggest things for me to blog about on my Skribit profile. We just rolled out some big Skribit updates last week with more on the way. I also recently created a frequently updated Stuff I Use page to keep track of applications, services and hardware I regularly use. TextExpander and Fever were the most recent additions (both recommended). Any other apps or services I should check out?
As always, thanks for reading and subscribing to PSTAM this year!
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

Happy birthday! Get well soon!
i knew you would break down and grab a 3GS. Did you get the subsidized price or was it pure shiny new gadget lust? I wasn’t planning on upgrading but walked past the apple store, a huge mistake, and ended up grabbing the 32 gb. I’m very pleased so far
happy birthday!
I know a guy who works at the place they made flight control. small world!
Hope you get better soon.
I decided last night to splurge the $30 to buy a license of Fever myself. So far I really like it and it’s definitely worth the $30.
I had to download and import Shawn Blanc’s OPML file to have enough sparks to get my “hot” items a little more on topic. Did your “hot” items automatically show stories of interest to you? It seems like it’s a work in progress to get the “hot” items to be relevant.
Happy birthday, and get well soon!!!
Glad to hear I’m not the only one hopelessly addicted to Flight Control while bedridden. What’s your high score?
PS. Hope you feel better soon (drink that OJ!).
Happy bday, mate! You’re so old! :D
Happy 23rd, Paul! Hope you feel better soon!

Why bless your heart, hon. Life can be so suck-y. Sometimes. You’ll be better soon. You’re young. Happy Birthday!!
Get better fast! Happy birthday man. Can’t believe you’re only 10 months younger than me :p
Catch-up with you soon
And here I was thinking that MacBook Pro users don’t get viruses like PC users…anyway…Happy birthday and get well soon.
Happy Birthday!
I think TextExpander is awesome…Flight Control is loads of fun. For the few times I’ve played, 32 is my record, on the aircraft carrier screen.
Happy Birthday Bro! Get Well Soon :)
Happy Birthday, Paul. And get well soon.

Happy birthday big bro!
Happy birthday stranger get well quick.
Nice blogs you got by the way :).
Congratulations on being 23! I feel lucky for being the 23rd comments haha ;)
Best of luck with everything!
23 has significance! Not since you were 4, 8, 15, and 16 have you been so significant. The next significant age for you is 42. After that, you will be useless. Let’s see how you progress in the next 19 years!
Paul. Happy Birthday! Hope you get better soon.
We remixed Michelle Williams’ song including a video clip, see what you think and support would be aprreciated!
Happy birthday and many happy returns. Hope you feel better soon!
Happy belated birthday.
I hope you get well soon..
Happy Belated Birthday Paul!
I wanted to ask you a question: with my wife and I working as middle to senior executives for multinational companies, we’ve had our share of ’security talks’ from ex-MI5 and the like, and they strongly discourage sharing information in public forums (even Facebook!) that could lead to people either
a) Having more information that could be used to steal our identities, or
b) Learning of our physicial whereabouts
I guess the thought is that political / environmental / whatever activists can get a bit crazy some times and if they decide to target your company (one you work for now, or one you’ve worked for in the past), and they can locate you, it can get pretty dangerous. Similarly, with identity theft being the fastest growing crime in the US and abroad, it is silly to give (implcitly) your DOB to everyone in the net.
What are your thoughts? Are these ideas the result or a paranoid mind, or do they have some merit?
Happy birthday! We are both Cancerians and our birthdays are 8 days away. And only a year apart (I turned 22 this year).
@mirthlab never tried Fever but Paul Stamatiou recommends it http://bit.ly/QwaO
