So Much for the Phoenix

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Titling a blog entry in such a grandiose way was just setting myself up for failure, wasn’t it?

It’s May now and every living thing is awakening. Flowers everywhere, smiles reappear. It’s a different world in Minnesota. It will be good to spend our last few months here in the sunshine and be reminded of the good in this place.

Planning for our move is going slowly. I am planning to reinvent this site as a precursor to becoming a full time consultant. Right now I have no portfolio or any kind of display of my work. The new site will be built on Expression Engine, which we built the new GovDelivery corporate website on. I learned how to develop in that environment in one weekend. It’s that easy! Anyone with good knowledge of XHTML, CSS and some PHP would feel right at home. It really is a developer’s dream because it is so flexible.

Once that’s up it’s a matter of making some contacts. I have some good leads and should be relocating with a couple of jobs under my belt. There are even a few designers in the Fayetteville area that would like to possibly work with me. I’ll meet with some people on our trip in July and hope to make some connections then.

Til next time… Cheers.

Swift Descent into Winter

Good morning!

I just quickly wanted to jot off a note to explain why I haven’t been writing. This has been a time of some soul searching for me and I have not had much will to write. I also am putting some thought into what this blog should focus on, i.e. a central topic or theme. It should be general enough, such as politics, current events, personal life, music, etc. Having no focus has also made it difficult to find the best subject matter.

Please feel free to suggest themes in the comments section.

I am hoping to make a return to writing here more frequently in the next week or so.

Merci.
