SO i’m going to get back into blogging. Mostly since I rarely remember what I’ve done from day to day. SO i figure if I get an offline blog editor then that might help me out. I’m lazy after all and if you know me at all I’m a sucker for new apps as much as I am for gadgets.
let the good times roll.
So some people have been bugging me, that I’ve let my blogging slide. And while it’s 100% true ( last post was in January ) I’ve not had much to say. Other than complaining which apparently gets you in trubs. That aside I’m going to re-evaluate what it is to blog for me. Most of my stuff is out on twitter which you can find me at twitter.com/regalbear
I’ve really been enjoying tweeting as of late but I’ve come to realize that 140 characters isn’t good for getting quality thoughts out for the handful of people that might read this.
Btw here is a pic of emily cause she’s the greatest kid alive. Bar none!
Living Updates.
Its honestly been a while since I’ve updated my site. Pretty close to two full years now. Ever since I started at TAXI I didnt see the need to actually make updates in any kind of format, blog or otherwise. Having been sucked into the twitterverse I found that way simpler to update, plus having a dedicated iphone app kinda helped this new facination. But I got to dreaming and then got to thinking and then sketching and of course procrastinating and as always have decided to do something with the no amount of time I have, however this time my idea lends itself to the idea of making minor changes over time and then eventually getting to the point where its done…. or the point that its never done and it evolves along the way.
So simply put I have a loose sketch, a stripped down flowchart of what I want to accomplish and no desire to even make a Photoshop comp of the aforementioned sketch. Everything will be built on the fly based on whats going on in my head, documented here at every time I’m done for the time being. Updates could be big, or small even not noticeable at all.. One thing that will remain constant is a header info bar giving a slight detail about this project and a link to the blog where I’ve explained it in more detail. Mostlikely this post right here.
Is this exciting at all? Hardly, but its going to provide me some sort of additional creative outlet where the rules are slightly different, which could be a good thing… at the very least.
until I actually get around to making something I like on my own I’m constantly looking for themes.
This one seems nice, tho it wont show post images until your actually in a post, likewise it only displays the most recent of posts. Its a bit more newspapery (is that a word?) Which I like for the cleanliness but I’m stuggling to make it seem like its a theme thats right for me. Should hold me out for the time being none the less.
its been about a week since I blogged about anything so I though I would giv’er and post something. Weekend is over birthday with the parents on saturday night, where we went to caseys and got full on good foood, headed back to our house for apple pie and icecream, I’m not one for cake and got a pie instead.
Presents ensued from mom and dad, a 12 foot ladder which I really needed since we have some burnt out lights on the house i cant reach even at 6+ feet tall. Some DVD’s, sin city extended edition, 40 year old virgin, wedding crashers and corpse bride. Plus this black and decker handy drill thing, looks like a little gun, will be great cause i know its goign to stay charged like the box says for up to 18 months, NIIIICE.
sunday we did the showcase for competitive dances, whole day 9 till around 5:30, took about 300 pictures of the dances, and generally helped out, ate subs for lunch which were good since the last subs we had were not so great for the stomach.
later on that night got some belated birthday presents gift card to henrys which will go towards something camera like and mostlikely a lense, plus a EB games gift card which should do me for a new PSP game.
thats about it, updated and re-designed portfolio is about 80% done, jsut need to put in the content like the quicktimes etc then fix so that its live.
For the most part this sucker is looking like I want it to. With the exception of the links and their hover and visited states things are pretty good lookin. I’m still figuring out the stylesheets in wordpress as well as the way K2 works, heck it took me long enough just to find how to change the post text color. Should be done done in the next few days whenever I get some playtime.
transfer to wordpress is complete now I just need to make this thing look better.
ah…..progress…..
miss terri got me a PSP for x-mas

typing takes a bit though… thanks ter!
