The Miniblog redesign

Well, it took about three days of near total dedication, but I got the ole' Miniblog all redesigned and relaunched for the New Year. I'm excited about all the prospects for 2009, and have a lot of plans and ideas I want to get out there into the wild blue everywhere. I needed a new personal site to help get it all out there as the old one just didn't have the functionality and design to do it. In other words it had run out of mojo juice.

The whole design is new, although I ripped off one of the mockups for another site of mine (can one steal from oneself?). The backend engine is updated as well. I'm using the fantastic little cms from sNews. I had used version 1.6 before, but now they're up to 1.7 and holy cow is it a much better, faster, more design friendly little bit of code awesome all bundles up together.

Okay, enough of the boring website backend chitter chatter. No one cares, right. Well, off to make a better tomorrow, which starts right...now.

About Me

So that's me there in that picture. Or me in anime/manga form. I'll probably change that picture from time to time. What else? Well, I call New York City home. My passions include, but are by no means limited to music, politics, capoeira, and good single malt scotch. I suppose if you need to know more than that just mosey on over to the about page more info.

A Quick Observation

Ah, death metal and ballet - two great tastes that go together. Well, if by together you use a crowbar and some sort of lube.

A Short Aside

One of my favorite pleasures is spending quiet Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the NY Times. Highlights from this Sunday include a piece about 1970's New York and it's reflection on the ABC show 'Life on Mars' , an appreciation for the TED lecture series, a profile of one of contemporary China's best selling writers, and the role of internet social networks and protests on the Arab street.

Oh and some more bullshit from Tom Friedman...

Listening

Burst Lazarus Bird

How I missed this magnificent disc last year escapes me. Out in a barren waste where Swedish death metal meets Pink Floydian textures and Tool's hypnotic repetitiveness. A stunning work of stark metal beauty.

The Love We Share Without Knowing

Christopher Barzak's fragile novel about love and loss set in contemporary Japan. Light like a wind chime, heavy enough to break your heart.
