New and improved Css Styles
In case you haven't noticed, I have recently updated the CSS styles of this blog template. I had left it the other way for a long time because Jeremy Smith had set me in that direction, but alas i grew bored. Expect much more to come soon, including flash! That's right, flash and css working together!
spectacular!
Fellow dke David Sabens blog has alerted me to a feature that i was unaware of in the bloag@case system. User Blog Stats! Heres mine Apparently my site is fairly popular in germany. Interesting.
New Job
Today is my first day of work for www.hedgestreet.com as a flash design intern. Its quite a commute, but it's certainly a good job. Wish me luck.
flickr api
Finally getting somewhere with the technical end of the aggregation site, it appears that there is a partially developed flickr api in the works, and a flash wrapper built already. Very exciting stuff.
Feed Map
Just added a cool feature utilizing .net software. It's called feedmap and its located in my sidebar under the flickr photo zeitgeist (anyone think i should get rid of some of the crap in my sidebar yet?) It shows my location, and any bloggers near by. Pretty interesting extra dimension for blogging to take on.
aggregate portal
I have begun work on my aggregation portal built entirely out of flash. A semi working mock up is located at here It includes the most recent post from each category on my blog super luminous velocity, works from my deviant art web site, music of my personal choice (user gets to pick from my selection [probably "the planets"]) news feeds from other blogs i follow, and hopefully my flickr photos, although i havent yet figured out how to do that. If any one knows how to grab pix off of flickr, please contact me.
