NEWS / UPDATES
05/6/09 - Looks like that lazy/me time got extended by a few months. Haven't really been motivated to work too much on my web sites, but I think this summer some things are going to change. I just watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and I must say it was a really good movie, very well made and the story was told as good as any classic. One thing that caught my attention (and is the reason I've visited this poor excuse for a blog) was what the story really emphasizes. The people in your life and what you do about it. Meaning in general, how you treat them and the decisions you make about your direction in life. It got me thinking about making some changes in my life that I've wanted to for such a long time and I feel this change is not just necessary but inevitable. We will see.

01/21/09 - Today I'm 22! Wow time is going by too fast... I sure don't feel 22 though. I say this every time I make an entry, I want to enhance a few things on here and get everything up and running, but I've been taking a little lazy/me time the past month or two. Hopefully I will find some time and renewed interest in this site again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/7/08 - I decided to make a small post, coincidentally exactly 3 months from the last update :D. Working full-time has prevented me from getting back into web design and emerging technologies but recently working with my friend and more web stuff at work, I'm having an urge to update this site and get my freelance site up and working soon. Hopefully I can keep this motivation and update within the coming month.

7/7/08 - Happy 1 Year Anniversary! To celebrate I added a new style "Stormy Monsoon". I also made an After Effects/Flash intro that I am still figuring out how to link it to the splash page. It should be up shortly as well as an all new About Me section. It was very frustrating and time consuming getting this up, I really need to make things simpler with CSS and Flash :/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5/20/08 - No more ranting like the last post :). I changed the music to something newer. The splash page has been updated for my 1st anniversary of the launch (right its just a placeholder though, I will have a kick ass flash video opening hopefully around the anniversary date). I also updated the background to a sweet B&W photo I took this semester and updated the Copyright! I just realized I really need to finish the other custom layouts, I might get around to doing it this summer. If I do, the first will be Stormy Monsoon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5/18/08 - I feel that I have accomplished a great deal in my life finally. I've gotten 2 degrees, fallen in love AND explored it, made the amount of money I've always wanted. The only thing left I really wish to accomplish at the moment are:
• Travel a few places (California, New York, Tokyo!)
• Learn to draw somewhat decently
• Maybe make a very detailed 3D model of myself / a character I create and render a cool pose
• Win that Emmy for my Demo Reel XD
• Visit an old friend
• Read the Bible and attain a higher level of spirituality and closeness with God
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5/8/08 - It has been a busy semester but school is just about over. I might go back for a Bachelor's Degree later on, but for now I want to stop and smell the flowers :). Learning Dreamweaver has helped with some technical things I want to accomplish with the web site and I should be able to upgrade the site this summer. I have just finished a new splash page for the 1 Year anniversary of the launch, as well a few personal designs I want to put up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2/27/08 - Lately I haven't had much motivation to keep up my web sites, hopefully it will change in the coming months.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/1/08 - New Year, new look! I changed
the background mostly and enhanced a few things. I should be adding the
different time designs this year (hopefully within the first 2 quarters) but we
will see.

12/1/07 - Still trying to get things in
Flash, it is proving to be more difficult then I thought. Anyway I'm really
looking forward to next year and I'm expecting it to be very prosperous. Oh and
I decided to put up my favorite song of this year up for December.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/2/07 - Lots of change occurring, good
things have finally been happening. This will be my last formal semester in
college and I should have my Associates by December's end. I'm going to still go
next semester in order to get another Associates in Web Design and I expect much
more free time to develop this web site and my friends' especially with finally
learning Dreamweaver and combining everything I've learned to make a much more
solid-coded web site I will probably update mid-December after finals with a
Flash featured pop-up and maybe a few other things.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/5/07 - Actually a bit ahead of updates
this month. Might post flash if I get my math grade up. Also, my personal crest/heraldry/coat
of arms that I've been working on for a long time is in the featured. Got that
haircut, now I need to shave... I want to do a bunch of small addition updates,
but not sure I'll have the time this month.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9/10/07 - Coincidentally, I updated the
same day a month ago. Weird. You can now contact me if you click on
'Contact'. I'm also thinking about converting everything into Flash, once I
learn it well enough to do that. Hopefully mid-semester... maybe. In the
meantime, I enhanced the Featured pop-up, but that should be converted to Flash
soon. I also got a scholarship (1 out of 12 I applied for, wtf?!) and I need a
haircut. :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8/10/07 - Updated for August. Featured
Box is now up and running. Everything is probably going to be pushed back
(design-wise) unless the upcoming semester proves to be easier than I expect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7/16/07 - No real improvements yet,
probably not for awhile either. Math is no fun when you take it over summer
school. On a fun note,
Here are my favorite top 3 summer movies coupled with quotes:
1.) Live Free or Die Hard "...
Damn hamster!"
2.) Transformers "Autobots... Roll out!" (gave me chills)
3.) Spider-man 3 don't remember any...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7/7/07 - Launch, I still have to design
the other layouts, I will start first with Stormy Monsoon. I am also going to
work on the contact, featured pop-up window, and Terms and Conditions for
copyright.
