I just finished the winter version of my iGoogle Houses Theme (dead link). I tried to make it relatively generic in avoiding anything directly related to the holidays since this theme is supposed to last through February. I'll need to come up with a Spring theme next and after that, I don't know. I still need to make a theme [...]

Later this week I'm going on a ride along with an ambulance service. To date, I've never set foot in an ambulance one way or the other. So this should be an eye opening experience for me. I'm still unsure if I want to do this for a living though. Even after two full months of class, I don't know [...]

I went to Gen Con every year through the 90's up until it was moved out of Milwaukee. I miss it even though I admittedly never took part in the actual gaming that went on there. I did, however, enjoy exploring the exhibit hall and gazing at all the hard-to-find stuff that you couldn't get anywhere else. I especially liked [...]

A couple of weeks ago I decided to make some swords out of some scrap wood that I had lying around at my parent's house. I've always enjoyed creating things and since most of my creations are not in a tactile form, I thought it would be nice to make something I could touch, and my Dad has a workshop [...]

I’ve redesigned my site around a new content management system that I wrote from scratch. On this new site, I stripped away the unnecessary material and streamlined what I had left. Most of my gallery works are, at this point, pretty old, so I’ve pushed them into the back seat and I'm focusing on my more recent works, such as [...]

I made my own iGoogle homepage theme with Inkscape. The creation process wasn't too bad, Google's documentation was okay, but as a web designer I wish Google allowed a bit more freedom in the design of a few of the graphical elements. I'll probably update it in the future, fix a few minor things. I may even do a winter [...]

Obviously I didn't live up to my blogging promise. I really haven't felt compelled to write about anything over the past year, and I don't particularly like to write about nothing just for the sake of writing something everyday or so (or in my case every year). But to sum this year up, 2007 was a lot like 2006: for [...]
