How Many? How Often?

Submitted by Ryumaou on

Ah, the age old question!

So, I've been working on a blog in secret. No, dear readers, I haven't been two-timing you like a cad, I promise. What I have been doing is working on a more professional blog that's more focused than this one. And, therein lies the rub. I have a topic in mind and I originally had a goal of writing 52 posts before launching. That'd be one post a week already on the shelf just waiting for me to roll it live as the mood struck me. One whole year of weekly posts about this one, particular topic.

Photoshop Magnets

Submitted by Ryumaou on

I love strange, quirky design elements.

I don't know, maybe it's because I used to schtupp a web designer or maybe it's just that Marketing degree. Whatever it is, I just really enjoy funky design in the real world. But, I am still a hardcore geek at heart, so when something combines the two, I just love it. Naturally, when I saw the Photoshop Magnets and Magnetic Board, I instantly loved it.

"If you're reading this, I must already be dead..."

No, I'm not actually dead, something which no doubt has disappointed a number of people, including my ex-wife. However, as a single man with few attachments, it does occur to me that I could go missing for several days before anyone thought to look for me. What's more, I can think of several people who wouldn't be too broken up over my untimely demise. Besides my ex-wife, I mean.

I love toys.

I never worked at one of those cool Internet startups in the Nineties, but I sure wanted to at the time. Not just for the cash, which would have been enough of a reason, but because, well, it was were all the geeks were cool. Seriously! And, they had money to blow so they kept places like Amazon flowing and that Internet food-delivery place running. And, they had the coolest toys on their desk...

I've started juicing.

This is probably not a big deal to anyone else but me, but, well, I've gotten a juicer and started juicing. Now, this does not mean that I'm using steroids, which is what I think of when I hear "juicing". No, this is actual juice, made from fruits and vegetables. Mostly, though, vegetables.

WordPress Theme "Stuff"

Submitted by Ryumaou on

So, you ever want to design a WordPress theme?

Well, I've been thinking about theme design for WordPress for a while now. I mean, I've done some small stuff, taking the basic themes and customizing them to make them my own, as it were, but I've never done anything from scratch. I'm working on it though. And, as I think about it, and work on it, I've been finding resources that might come in handy. Here are a few:
