I haven’t talked about music in a while but today I downloaded the new Verve CD called Forth. All I can say is man I am glad these guys are back together. They’ve broken up more times than I can remember but their latest work may be some of their best. From their lead track Love is Noise to Judas and Noise Epic.
Check it out, buy it, illegally download, whatever. Its good.
Most people know I am an iPhone lover. I’ve had an iPhone since about this time last year and I absolutely love it. This year I got even more hyped up about my phone’s potential awesomeness with the new App Store that Apple unveiled back in July. I had pretty much been waiting on it all year, even though my phone was jailbroken and had some 3rd party apps on it before then.
Since the App Store came out I have probably flooded my phone with cool and exciting things. But it wasn’t all peachy and sweet. Before the ‘2.0’ software came out with the App Store the phone worked flawlessly. Hardly any bumps in the road and only a need of a reset from time to time.
With the App Store came bugs, and lots of them. Apple has had two “bug fix” updates since July with more on the way. Its almost like the phone software went from stable and awesome to crazy and annoying.
I love many of the features but day after day some bugs appear out of no where. Just today I read that there was a new security bug with the phone. Great! Just what we all need, people hacking out phones in midair. Apple is expected to patch it up once more just as they have always done.
I just miss that stablity with this phone. It’s still the best thing I’ve ever bought for myself but the bugs get quite annoying from time to time. At least they don’t interupt my playing of de Blob!
Rigby
I know I haven’t talked about this at all but recently Becca and I got a new puppy! He is a ladradoodle (so a Lab and Poodle mix) and his name is Rigby (think Beatles for the naming).
He’s a little ankle biter but what else can you expect from a puppy. I will try to post more photos of him shortly. I am going to be doing a new gallery thing on here to try to get my photos to display a little more fluidly. It may take some time but since I’ve been messing around the with Lakeview site I found some neat things to do photos with that I want to try on here as well.
Lakeview Community Church website
Just less than a week since I started working on the Lakeview church website, things are moving along rather nicely. I’ve pretty much been given full control over design over the whole project, which is nice. I’m sure there will be plenty of suggestions on how to make it great and that will be nice.
Hopefully there won’t be too many crazy requests or suggestions, though they do seem pretty set on having some sort of Flash element to it. And honestly, that just won’t happen. I don’t have the time for it but I do have some tricks up my sleeve that look Flash-like here so it should please whoever seems to want that kind of thing on the site.
I keep moving things around here and there on it so if you give it a look it may change from the next time you take a glance at it. I’m still waiting on content as well, but that’s just part of the game when you build a website for someone like a church. The waiting game of content.
I will try to keep you all posted on how that is coming along here.
…above that is. Yeah, I was asked recently to do a website make over for my local church (Lakeview Community Church). So I’ve gone out and got the church a new domain (since their old one expired) and some quality hosting (something that probably wasn’t with the old site anyways).
Check out the progress at lakeview-church.org.
Its been a while since my last post but I’ve been waiting around lately for an update to my blogging software (WordPress) to do some things around here. This new look may not last too long but I found it earlier today and thought it was pretty neat looking.
Yup, I know I don’t write on here but maybe while I am on vacation later this month in Colorado I will. At least I want to try to make an effort to post some photos and what not on here. Don’t worry I’m not getting rid of this place, I’m just trying to figure out what exactly to do with it these days….
I know this is probably old but I just came across it recently…with all the election stuff going on and everything our country has to deal with this video made me laugh about it even more than before. Its from when the Iranian president came to visit the US a year ago (or so). Its nice to know we can still poke fun at things and get away with it.
I know the constant theme on here is how I don’t write anything for weeks on end and then I come back and say that I mean to and all. Fact is I am busy with work and life in general. Not that I don’t like owning this place I just think its not high up on my list of things to do all the time. Don’t worry though, this website isn’t going away anytime soon for those who do care. I have plans for its future but until then we will have random posts from yours truly.
Until next time…which may be next month at this rate! haha
Also, until then enjoy my new musical craze, Vampire Weekend:
