update: check the comments for my current favorites.

• On my feet are some variation of brown shoes.
• Socks, usually with a grey or navy pattern.
• I prefer grey pants, if clean.
• A button-front shirt in some shade of blue. Pink is possible with no blue clean.
• If there’s a chill in the air, I like tan sweaters.
• Blazers should be navy (a few exceptions noted).
• I wear grey crew neck and white v-neck t-shirts.
• When applicable, head-wear is a Detroit Tigers hat and/or Ray Bans or Moscots.
• Wrist-wear is a Victorinox watch with orange strap.
• Brown belt.
• My favorite handkerchief is pink.

This is about you, about who you know yourself to be and what you are capable of. This is about honoring your individuality, knowing that you are unique, and that you possess your own sense of style and expression. It’s about the competitive fire in all of us, the drive to be the best and believing in yourself. And it’s about refusing to accept any limits whatsoever on what you choose to make of this life. Because the world is yours for the making.

Love it.

Josh is a fun loving guy really funny and can make anyone laugh. He is very quiet at first and seems shy but when you get to know him you will fall in love. He has very good style and always looks handsome. He also always smells really good :)

Joshua is a sexy, masculine individual exuding the most desirable of traits. Although Joshua may be timid at first, his genuine and compassionate charm shine through above all things. He can be trusted with any secret and will always pull through even when the going gets tough. His understanding and supportive nature can put anyone at ease as he is never judgmental but rather always willing to listen with an open mind. He is the epitome of a true man. My boyfriend is an absolute Joshua.

SUBSCRIBE
I’ve made it much easier to subscribe to www.joshpremuda.com. There are three ways (at this point) you can get your JP fix: (i) visit www.joshpremuda.com, (ii) subscribe via RSS and/or, (iii) subscribe via Email. You pick. I just want you subscribed, please. And, as added motivation, I’m planning on deleting my Facebook account, so that’s one less way for you to stay up-to-date with me.

By the way, I’ve subscribed to the email version of this site and it’s a rather cool way to take in my content. One email shows up with the days posts. You get to see it in your inbox and it’s shows how my mind progressed (or digressed) that day.

SPONSOR
It’s much easier to sponsor me. I’m cheap and I like to barter; I really just want this site to pay for itself, so if you have something you’re interested in promoting, contact me and we can work out an arrangement. You get your ad above the fold, a couple of tweets and likely a post or two, so it really works out to your advantage. First sponsor is my company, CurrentBlend (I’m in the process of updating that site as I type this – more on that later).

STYLE
The most obvious change is the color palate. I’ve always enjoyed the color orange and figured why not use that here. I wear an orange watch band daily and apparently it has some pretty cool meanings (I’m not sure that’s the right word, but you catch my drift). All hyperlinks should appear as orange, so anytime you click one of those, you’re going to a new page. Also, those little orange rectangles on the main page (above the posts) are the permalinks, so click those (or the link called “Comments”) if you want to comment or read more of the comments. And, the big orange rectangle will always take you back to the homepage. So, I guess you can say now that orange is my new black (although I don’t really like black outside of a tuxedo or athletic gear, but that’s a completely different story).

Also changed is the font choices. I went with Helvetica since I think it’s much easier to read, and it’s tons prettier. Titles are Palatino (and are typically hyperlinks – but they’re grey, not orange like all other hyperlinks; I misspoke earlier – so they should take you somewhere should you click on them).

ORGANIZATION
I wouldn’t say I reorganized everything, but I did make some changes to the presentation. I’ve added a “Comments” counter on the main page along with a more visible tagging display. This way I hope you begin to comment more and use the tags to explore other posts that are related.

I’ve updated the About, Archive, Contact and Subscribe pages and have plans to add a few more pages (e.g. Beau, Sponsor, and Reviews to name three).

There are a few other items I’ll leave up to you to find and I will also be rolling out some other pages and such (updated footer, contact page, random post function, twitter implementation, archive re-org), but will let you know as those happen.

COMMENTS
I’ve gone with Disqus to control comments and I’ve made the comment link much more prominent on the main page as I’d like to encourage discussion. The fun part for me of posting all this information is the responses I get in return. Rather than on Facebook where it’s a limited conversation, I’d prefer to have all the discussion take place here on this site.

Using Disqus will allow you to subscribe to comments via email so you can stay up on the discussion. So, let’s get the conversation going. Having said that, you can always send me an email: joshpremuda AT gmail DOT com.

What we had in common,” Mr. Seinfeld once explained, “was both of us had the ability to focus deeply on something small, to blow small things out of proportion.”

Jerry Seinfeld is talking about Larry David, but you can ask anyone close to me and they would say he could be talking about me.

Anyway, it was a fun couple of days and I thought I’d do my best to capture some of the links, reports and other press we go from it. If you have more, please put it in the comments or email it to me (jpp AT currentblend DOT com).

Dan Schawbel thinks we just want press from Techcrunch. I respond.

Washington Post and Business Insider republish the Techcrunch article to give baby his first WaPo story.

The Christian Science Monitor interviewed me where I had this to say about eating and tweeting.

“I hadn’t really considered people eating and tweeting – I hope they don’t. Maybe we [should] schedule time to tweet thanks before or after the meal,” he said.

MediaBistro is surprised to find that a former auditor can think of something like this, creating my favorite line of all this.

(Other interesting note: The site was thrown together by a Denver-based IT internal auditor, an Ohio-based IT audit and security consultant, and a third guy who, if our Web sleuthing did us right, is a Chicago-based Web specialist at the Society of Actuaries. Criminey, who knew auditors and actuaries could be so fun?)

Vator News interviewed me as well and offered a spot on critique of the site. There’s even a CurrentBlend plug in there. And, maybe even future plans…

I asked him if he had plans for future holiday-Twitter-themed sites, in which he responded, “We’ve talked about a couple other instances where this could be fun to do, but have no definite plans right now, but having said that, stay tuned.”

Web Pro News chimes in and says if someone made a Thanksgiving Twitter site, they’re talking about it on Thanksgiving. Case Closed.

Yahoo News Wire gets this (from CS Monitor) too.

ABC out of Toledo, Ohio (the news station I grew up watching) covered TurkeyTwitter as well.
