… so apparently Adblock has been blocking images on my site… like most of them… for the last few weeks? Months? I have no idea. This is because I had named the img tags “ads” as they were ads for my own stuff. Just one of those dumb things you don’t think about when slapping a page together.

(I really need to do a full redesign here… eventually).

I’ve also recently stopped smoking and de-pointed my beard, so now I have to recreate my little avatar guy, too. F’neh.

… and the lack thereof.

I tried to do some art today, and truthfully, I don’t remember how anymore. It’s been over a year since I created anything new… well, besides the stuff I did for M60 under assumed names (more on that later).

I always planned on getting into an art groove, then once I had a steady stream of new art, I was going to start generating interest in this site. I have not done one lick of promotion here, because I’m too busy building and promoting other sites (damned day job).

So what does all this mean (If anything)? I don’t know. I do know that I’d like to start doing art again… maybe move towards some cartoonier stuff, and less nekkid wimmins. I want to start promoting again (I think). The real problem is: I don’t know why I’d be promoting anything. I haven’t done professional illustration in years, and I don’t have any real interest in doing it again. I feel like I have a big “WTF?” floating over my head.

Feh.

Alright, so I haven’t done art in a loooong time. I haven’t even done a sketch in months. All this web design stuff eats every ounce of creative-ness… even though it doesn’t feel all that creative sometimes. It seems web design is less about the actual design and more about getting the bits of code to not break each other.

The site I just recently finished (DivorceKindaSucks.com) was built while users were actively, well, using the site. That’s quite a different experience than creating a static site, getting it to work, then launching it.

… I was about to go on a long tear about the process of building DKS, but I ain’t gonna. I don’t want to relive it first of all, and secondly, no one is really interested. Speaking of not interested… (see above post that I’m about to write here in a minute).

… is an easy thing to lose. The holidays are a time where very little gets done in the world, so I took a little break from all my business activities. I read a little, I watched some tv, and I napped a lot. Now, it’s time to get back to work, but I think I’ve forgotten how.
Keep reading…

With the holidays upon us again, I’m not making any damned money, and I have nothing to do… so I rebuilt this page. I may add some new features over the next couple of days as well.

On a sad note, my laptop of 6 years finally went to silicon heaven, so if anyone out there wants a blog set up (I’ll even host it), I’m ready to trade my services for a 1GHz or above system (an ugly old tower is fine, I just need the psu, processor, and ram).

Anyone? Anyone?

… and why they are awesome.

First of all, other than anything produced before 1990 (excluding the Beastie Boys), I have typically disliked rap and the new wobbly voiced r&b. So getting me to listen to a record called “A Night at the Hip-Hopera” was a longshot at best, but listen to it I did. Keep reading…

Well folks, the new M60 site is almost a go. I still have a few things on the front page to work out, but it’s all coming along nicely. One thing to note, this site might be down for a day or so as I move to the new M60 servers, so if my site doesn’t load for you tomorrow, it doesn’t mean that I’m dead.

Anyway, Have a look at what’s been devouring my time as of late here.

…I happened upon while moving some files to my new server. I discovered a forgotten piece of ephemera from the early days of my flash development: My old Svengoolie game. Ahhh, the memories of Flash 1.0 Keep reading…

…on horror movies. I think I’ve just seen too damned many of them to find them interesting anymore. Keep reading…

…for salespersons over at Vanderlin… 15% commission, and you don’t have to work in the office. You can stay at home and do it… you don’t even have to get out of your jammies.
