It’s Alive [and kickin'?]
Apr.26.2009
Well, it’s not complete, but I decided I’ve waited long enough. My new design is here, and here to stay.
I’ve been trying to get myself to a place where I’m happy with my blog again, so I can continue to create content. That’s mainly what this is all about. I’ll be doing a ton of polishing on the site over the next few weeks to really finish it out and I’m hoping that actually having it live will be motivation for me to get the work done more swiftly.
That said, you can expect new videos, new games, and new posts to come flying at you at incredible speeds, as well as a general enhancement to the site’s functionality.
I’m especially excited about the “I Design You” section (featured on the main page). Please take a second to send me a picture of yourself so I can start digitally maiming you. That first image (of one Shelby Cook) is last-minute ditch effort to get something in place so the section wouldn’t be empty at launch. Sadly, Shelby did not, in fact, send me an image, and I did not in fact, spend more than 2 minutes on the “design.”
All things considered, I’m pretty happy with where things are, though you can expect changes and additions in the weeks and months to come (I’m an incessant tinkerer).
Side note: I don’t give a flying crap about Internet Explorer on my personal sites. So if you’re using it, and something looks bad, don’t bother complaining. I don’t care.
I did get a chance to use some sexy CSS 3 stuffs, and some of those schveet (though offensively proprietary) CSS rounded corners (-moz ftw), and I’ve recently been informed by my pal Kyle Steed that I can do the same thing for Safari. I’ll be looking into that soon.
For now, any and all feedback you have on design, usability, and overall delicious factor would be most appreciative. Don’t hold back. I want the site to be as good as it can, and I don’t mind being ripped to shreds.
Over and outsauce.
This be the commentary:

W00T!!! Man this thing is lookin’ good. I’m so excited you’re back in the game now and can’t wait to see and read what you post over the next few months. Make me reminisce upon a long forgotten time when I first met you via ye ol’ facebook and stalked your blog and videos like the creepy guy next door.
