Is XKCD making fun of me?

Sorry for not posting more often.

Does this surprise anyone?

Worst Dreads Ever

Dreds

Anybody remember the 36 hours when I had half a head full of dreadlocks?

Gimmie Sympathy

Edit: I wanted to post the acoustic version of Gimmie Sympathy, but apparently the entire thing embeds. Ah well. The whole thing is good. But I highly recommend scrolling down & checking that song out. It’s been stuck in my head all day.

New Design

I redesigned my home page today.  The main design is based off of this tutorial, and the image is based off this.

There isn’t a tutorial for coding the design, but this helped a lot with the menu bar.

As soon as I figure out what content to put there, I’m hoping to code the bottom bar with a sliding jQuery bar like this.

You might be thinking that, as a web designer, it’s rather silly for me to be designing my entire site from tutorials. Shouldn’t I be trying to create something my own?  Something original?

Well, no. I won’t bore you with a long winded article about how on the internet, everything’s been done before.  Because that article has already been written.

This version is good too.

I really like the idea of having an Events section on my website.

Dreamblogging

I haven’t done any dreamblogging in a while, and last night’s was amazing.

I was sent to the airport to do some research.  On my way to the airport, I noticed that all of the buildings & vehicles looked like bugs.  I asked why this was, but the lady changed the subject.  We got in this huge catipillar vehicle, and the lady drove it really fast.  She said that the dude who normally drives it refuses to drive anymore.  I immediately realized why: the thing turns incredibly slow, moves incredibly fast, and has to weave in & out of stuff that’s in its way.  I was constantly thinking we were going to crash, until we finally crashed.

The lady laughed as if this sort of thing happens all the time.  As I walked out, I noticed a gigantic ant.  This one wasn’t a building, it was a real giant ant.  As I said “Oh, NOW I get it…” the lady started panicking and sounded some sort of alarm.  This giant ant, and several d0g-sized ants, started attacking the colony.

We repelled the ant invaders, and I got on the wrong plane, which shot me & several others into space.  We passed through several galaxies before crash landing on some desert planet. I had managed not to talk to anyone during the entire flight, and as I started listening to people, I realized that none of us knew where we are, where we were supposed to be going, and we were all pretty sure that space travel didn’t really exist, which meant that we were stuck on this planet forever.

I learned how to fly, flew into space, and spent the rest of the dream going from planet to planet in a futile attempt to discover alien life so that I could get directions back to Earth.
