Awww Geek Out!

…I’ve been learning so much more about this craft of mine.  I’ve found it humbling and exciting all at the same time.  Thanks to a lot of great info out there on the net and the wonder that is jQuery, I’m actually starting to learn how to program.  I give it two years until I’ll be as confident in my scripting as I am with my CSS and HTML, but it has been fun as hell so far.  This is kind of how it felt just before I had my “matrix moment” and could actually picture a layout in my head just by reading the HTML.

…I’ve tweaked some things around here.  Mostly back-end optimizations so far as I experiment and put what I’m learning into practice, but you might notice some of the fonts look a little nicer, courtesy of Typekit.  There will be more of that to be sure, but this place has been like a fallow lot as of late, and I have to fix a lot more of the structure before I can really think of giving this design — which to be honest was never truly finished — a long overdue remix.

…I’ve decided that “design-in-progress” I wrote a dissertation on back in the summer of unemployment will not appear as shown.  That bundle of code was born when time was plentiful and goals were lofty.  Since then, that seed has grown and morphed as I’ve used it as the basis of about every project I’ve worked on since.  There’s a lot I love about the artwork and the ideas, but I think I’m taking it to the chop shop and using some of the parts here and some on my portfolio remix.

And if it wasn’t for Twitter, a lot of you would think I was dead.  Am I right or what?  ^_^
