So I’m working on updating my website, hoping I actually finish it this time. This is my 3rd attempt. I started off in .NET, then in node + express, and now in node + rendr.
I started this in 2010, and the first image shows my original design that’s carried over through the first two attempts. While it’s miles better than my 2002 ASP design (that we won’t even talk about), it always seemed a bit odd. It’s cramped, the colors are awkward, and the home-grown controls are too clunky.
Fast forward to today, the second image shows the latest version. For the first time, I’m integrating Bootstrap into my work, and it’s done wonders for my very limited design skills. After slightly altering the colors, I came up with this theme, which is more spacious, and has a GUI that so far makes sense.
This is still a long way from becoming reality, but now that I have time to work on stuff like this, it’s pretty exciting to see where this can go, especially when working on bleeding edge technology like node and rendr.
This is my blog where I give my thoughts and opinions on various topics and share my creative endeavors with the world. I run two personal blogs, but combine them here for ease of access.
Blogger - My oldest blog using the Blogger platform contains posts full of opinions, gaming, and code.
Tumblr - Tumblr posts are all about my creative side, containing music, videos, writings, and updates on my web creations.

In California, truck license plates are 7 characters, all numbers except for one letter in either the second or the sixth position. Whenever that letter is an X, I get nerd snipped into treating it as a multiplication problem and solving it in my head.
we should have paid more attention to the cats who, for decades, put their bodies on the line to walk on keyboards and sit on laptops and prevent us from programming

I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
