I think the candidates on Lost are up for the Nobel Peace Prize. If Obama qualifies for nothing, then crash landing on an island works. - March 09, 2010 20:32:31

Blog fail!

This post title is relevant in more ways than one.  Basically, my lack of posting and the fact that my new upgrade to WordPress 2.8.4 just saved my post draft, sans text.  Anyway, I vowed to never have to make a post like this one, but here it is: I suck at keeping up on the posting.  Well, you can rest assured that in the time between my last post and now, I’ve been gathering topics ranging from more programming tips to my adventures with my newly acquired Apple TV.  So sit back and wait for the post explosion.

Well, really, you don’t have to sit there and wait, since it’s not going to be today.

Is thing on?

You bet it is.  It’s been about a half a year since I pulled down the old site, and much longer than that since I posted anything new.  Well, I’m back and your wait has been rewarded.  The main reason the site has taken so long to come back is that I do not resemble, nor do I have the talent of a designer.  I must have come up with five or six Photoshop mock-ups before finding out during development that I didn’t really like the design.  Not to mention that I do not possess a keen eye when it comes to typography or color.  Combine those reasons with the fact that halfway through styling the comments I seem to get burned out on the theme I’m currently developing and it becomes the perfect storm of not getting anything done.  For these reasons, I have modified the fantastic Grid Focus theme from Derek Punsalan to suit my needs.  It’s a great theme with clean lines and lots of space, and I think it turned out great.

Looking forward, I plan on bringing you frequent doses of web development, life observations, and gaming, along with more frequent tweets from my manga self.  So prepare yourselves.
