Big Week!

I think that when I go to bed tonight, I am going to have dreams about all of the damn code that i’ve been lookin at for the past week. I’ve been flat out working my ass off to get my new site done. When I wasn’t at the 9-5, I was here working on my site. But it paid off, almost. I love the new look of it. I have one more small fix and then it will be complete! So once I finished the overall design work/coding, I had to write my first blog for it. And yes, that is the blog site that i’ve been talking about doing for some time now………….and the time….is now, apparently. A guy by the name of Tyler is now my editor for the writing that I will be doing on the site. So I owe him big for that. I am quite interested in seeing what kind of feedback I get from my writing, and I was kinda nervous when I was writing it. My audience will be quite bigger for that site than for this one. So if you get bored, I would encourage you to head over to my new site and read my first blog, and the ones that will follow.

This week has been pretty damn big though. On top of finishing my website, the new msu site FINALLY launched. So you better believe that it was immediately put in my portfolio. So it was good to see the site launch for sure. We even got some recognition from the Web Standards Project which is big……..at least for me it is. On top of the MSU site, the new Provost, Board of Trustees, and President’s site went up as well. I haven’t added those to my portfolio yet, but I will soon. So yeah that’s four new sites that I can add to the resume, and theres more on the way!!

No word yet from my LA connection, we had a long conversation last week about next steps about getting all of this going, so he is out there doing some talkin, meanwhile I can only chill back and wait for the word. I did send him a bunch of business cards though. Anyways, I might have another client job coming up soon, I had a guy email me because he was looking for a designer for a redesign of his site. I won’t really talk about the project yet cause nothing is set in stone, but stay tuned for that. It’s going to be a fun project I think. Of course there is Noah’s site that is still in the works also, and we’re thinking a late March launch for that. Lots goin on!

I got my books in the mail! They are quite useful, and will come in handy in the near future for some of the projects that I will be working on. Im already picking out the next batch of books that I am going to by……….I know, it still sounds weird with me talkin about books. Just picture me actually reading one!

So on another note, I need a vacation!! And that will be happening soon enough. Me and Kell are gonna be headin out to the east coast to crash Travis’ apartment and kick it out there for a few days. I can’t wait! I need a break sooo bad from here, and by that time, the weather will be nice and Im quite sure that the vacation will come right on time. But im excited, cause i’ve never been to NY and i’ve wanted to go since I was in middle school. We have options out there too, with Travis, Jenn, and JJ living out there. I also know a couple guys from high school that live there too, so in no way am I worried about what we will do there. We will most likely be paying for our flights within the next week or so, and then it’ll be official!

My next blog is going to be interesting. The jist of it is like this, yesterday I was looking for a folder in my closet, and I stumbled across a few pictures. One of them turned into my new facebook pic. Anyways these other pictures I found were from the early days of life here at MSU. It was some of the really fun times that i’ve had here at State with the homies. Some of these images I couldn’t stop laughing at. So I will be posting up a few of the great memories. A few of the homies in some of these images are in rare form, and it might even be you! But I promise that you will get a kick out of some of the images, cause I for sure did……..kinda took me down memory lane. Even D (yes David Dewrance) made the cut, and I will have something to say about that as well. I even have a pic from high school of the old school E-Town crew. Basically my next blog is going to be sort of a mini project because I have to scan all these pics. But if you have ANY pictures that you think might be funny to put up, please email me because I will be taking this next week to get all of these images ready. You will not want to miss this! So stay tuned…..

And lastly, I put up some new tracks of the week, but two of them are ones that Noah (Vanysh) produced called Liter Side, and Purple Room, so give them a listen.

And I’m out

peace
