Well… for the last two days, I’ve attempted to record a video blog entry about my revamp status, but for some reason, the Inspiron 1525′s video webcam thing doesn’t seem to be working properly to be uploaded into YouTube. (Does anyone have any experiences with this?? I will research this tomorrow.) Anyway… here’s basically what I said:
I did NOT reach my optimistic milestone date of Jan 1 with the new revamp, to much of my own dismay!
However, I stayed in all of Xmas weekend to get a lot of it done. (Hah! I turned down a Vegas trip to be productive! (What a NERD!!!!)) I’ve reached a great point, which I’m pretty juiced about! I finished inking in (via Wacom) the sketch I doodled a few weeks back. I have to admit that I’m pretty impressed by the capabilities of the Wacom. Of course, I spent a lot of time doing some small details that most people won’t even see since I’ll probably shrink the image, but… for my own satisfaction, I went in and did all the nitty gritty details–which I LOVE to do!
My next goal would be to have the revamp done by end of January, but I won’t have computer access for most of the month, so that won’t be very plausible nor realistic. So… I’m gonna aim for end of February to get it out! I think with the progress I made in the last 2 weeks, February will be a productive month!
The main motivators for my revamp right now are:
- I’m sooooo bored of this design: it totally isn’t how I feel anymore, and I think my page needs more of a kick like it used to
- Getting my resume update: While everyone around me is working on updating their resumes in these bad times right now, my resume and everything about me is directly accessible via Googling my name. I need to make sure my persona is all PRESENTABLE the way I want, and I want my site to represent who I am right NOW.
- Creative Outlet: It’s been suuuchhh a long time since I’ve redesigned my site and its content!
Here’s something I had a lot of fun drawing, particularly the little details!

Thanks for sticking around, and thanks for your support! (Happy New Year!)
