Well, GrandmasterB is back from a long weekend in Sin City and trying to get back into the office and get some blogging done. I skipped doing the week in review last week, because I had so much work to get done and not very much time for running the GMB Show.

This past weekend was great to getaway and have some fun with Mrs. GMB! We stayed at Mandalay Bay and spent a lot of time at the expansive pool. We contemplated renting a cabana for our party, but the thought of dropping $350-1800 for shade just didn’t appeal. The pool was freakin’ awesome! Sandy beach, lazy river, salt water wave pool and cold Bud Light Lime by the bucket. It’s too bad I forgot my camera at the room, because the eye candy was unbelievable…many beautiful babies. The trip was great even though I wasn’t a big winner. We had tons of fun going out and partying at Rum Jungle and drinking my weight in Mojitos. If you are a fan of Mojitos, you’ve gotta try out my boy Cuzzy’s recipe for Cuzjitos; his own creative twist on the popular cocktail.

Here’s the recap for the past week or two…man I’ve been slacking.

August 4: Cooling Off with the Kardashians - My monthly review of the numbers for July. It was the biggest month yet for GrandmasterB. August is looking like it’s going to be a pretty good month too, but not as big as July.

August 5: Q&A with GrandmasterB - August 5 - My new “weekly” feature where readers ask GMB a question about whatever they want and I give my take or answer to their burning inquiries.

August 7: Photorealistic T-Shirt Mockups - New T-Shirt templates from the fellas at Go Media. With these templates you can create t-shirt mockups on the fly for your clients.

August 12: GrandmasterB in ACCESS DIRECTV - GrandmasterB gets an advertisement published in the August issue of Access DIRECTV. If you’re a subscriber, check it out on page 16.

August 14: GrandmasterB’s Top 10 Vegas Movies - In honor of my trip to Vegas, I put together a list of the TOP 10 Vegas Movies (that I’ve seen). There are some classics on there that shouldn’t be missed.

That’s it for this rendition of the Week in Review…stay tuned for more great stuff from GMB. Don’t forget to email me with your questions and get featured on the Q&A with GrandmasterB feature post. If you’re mentioned you’ll get a linkback and 100 EntreCard credits.

Well, I’m not personally in the newest issue of ACCESS DIRECTV, but some of my work is…

A few weeks ago I eluded to the fact that I was going to have an advertisement that I designed published in the August issue of ACCESS DIRECTV. Well, I have received my copy of the recent issue and there it was in all of it’s splendor planted on page 16 right next to some clown that looks like the spawn of David Hasselhoff.

For those of you that don’t know yet; I am the web designer/developer for the MountainWest Sports Network. We were the first television networked solely dedicated to a college sports conference (Mountain West Conference). The network is now in it’s second year and is going to be available on satellite via DirecTV. We will now be the first college sports network to be covered nationally and this is very big news for us. The network will officially launch on DirecTV on channel 616 on August 27th, just three days before the 2008 Mountain West Conference football season starts.

I am currently working on some top secret stuff for our website at work that will be unveiled on the 27th to coincide with the launch on DirecTV. It should be a very big weekend for us and finally the 2008 college football season will be here with the NFL kicking off the season just a week later. I can’t wait!
