Fall is officially fading away now that snow begins to fall and the new holiday season is about to begin. Halloween out, thanksgiving in. As always, I am not ready for this winter to begin, but what are you going to do? This is michigan. There is so much anticipation leading up to christmas and the new year, then once its over, its cold and dreary for the next three months or so. But this year’s going to be different. I got work to do this holiday season with a couple of big things on the horizon. I am older, wiser, more married, and probably less motivated, but its good to set goals.
First, I think I am getting sick of joef.org‘s design and maybe its time for a change up. Its been over two years now and while coming. In that comes a couple of things. First – new content management system. I built the current one from scratch when I first finished school and have to say I like it, but wordpress is eon’s beyond it and will all the plug ins available, I have to be a fool to think I can implement the ones I want with ease. I already have it running as the cms for the lab and like it. My plan is to integrate it as much as possible with all my other social networking endevours (facebook, myspace, jaiku, etc). I love the idea of blog once, post everywhere. Also, I think I am going to merge both this site and the lab’s. I thought it would be a better idea to run a separate one but its just a part of my personal life as this site and I suppose that’s what the tags in wordpress are for.
I also plan to write more posts once this thing’s in order. I guess I really enjoy it. Its one good outlet other than music. Which brings me to my other big thing on the horizon. I want to finish a demo come the first of the year. I will do my best to document it, but no guarantees. I should take a page from the bomb the music industry guy. I’ll be damned if that’s dude’s not a true inspiration. Maybe I should quit shaving and haircuts to see if it gives me any incentive.
Enough talk already, time to get to work.
