Reboot 2010

24 October 2009. That’s two full frickin’ months since the last post (and that one wasn’t exactly worthy of the name ‘blog post’ either). Sigh, it used to be multiple posts a day on here once, so what the hell happened?

Having multiple blogs, a Facebook, Flickr & Twitter account isn’t easy. Especially the multiple blogs part. I love writing, but it doesn’t come all that fluently for me. So keeping myself motivated to maintain more than one blog has become a pretty big burden. And ultimately the solution is easy, just ditch all but one. Done deal. Yay! Easy! Let’s get on with it!

During 2009 I kinda got sidetracked with photography and even started blogging. Ultimately I got bored with that though. It happens with a lot of the stuff I do really. New and shiny things tend to grab my attention and make me lose interest in all the other stuff. But now that photography isn’t taking up the majority of my free time anymore and with 2010 around the bend I decided to kick things into gear again around here. You know, New Year’s resolutions and all :)

So what’s the plan? I don’t want to simply start posting again. The site’s in need of a bit of an overhaul and I’ve been meaning to play around with Winston (a UI Library with a lot of potential) for quite some time now. So, a redesign then? Yes, very much so. Besides, I’ve never been very good with graphics heavy design work. A minimal design based on the Winston defaults sounds like a good idea. Even if it’s only to make sure I don’t give up on the project halfway through.

So except for the temporary case of online apathy, is there anything else worthwhile happening in my life? Let’s see. Noah’s growing up damn fast. He’s almost two years old now. God knows where that time went, flew right by. Joke’s as awesome as ever (but still hasn’t started blogging). As for me, I’m still collecting Shirow artwork, still addicted to gadgets and I’m still the same procrastinator as always. Same old same old to be honest, which I don’t mind too much.

Well, I guess this is as good a time as any to get cracking. Let’s start with updating WordPress and just take it from there…
