Bloggiesta?

I came across a blogging event yesterday called Bloggiesta… a 48-hour period in which you pretty much overhaul your blog. You can clean things up, change the layout, reorganize, write advance posts, or even just work on your social networking sites (facebook, twitter) and so forth.

The date is Friday, June 19th beginning at 8am, Saturday the 20th and ending Sunday the 21st at 8am (8am your time, wherever you are).  That is a total of 48 hours, of which you should aim high for a total of 18-24 hours spent on the challenge.

I really want to try it. It’s just that I’m shying away from Internet committments at this point (I’m WAY behind on a project) and don’t want to commit to it just to drop out.

So I think I’m going to do it… I’m just not going to “sign up” at the site and say I’m doing it. I’m just going to DO it. But first, I need to get this project out of the way.

But I really do plan on overhauling this site. I really really miss having my blog. Terribly! The only thing really holding me back right this moment is a website I promised to a very close friend… and it’s taking me epic amounts of time to get it done (curses on daily life, I swear).

To Do:

  1. Finish the Israel site.
  2. Work on this site.
  3. Get my portfolio up.
  4. Revamp Mom’s site.

I’m awful, I really am. Well, back to work. And by the way, greetings from Pennsylvania!

Try Not To Fall Over

… but Retrophobic.net is up and running again! Sparkly new theme (yeah, this one is one of my own designs), and kind of a different format. You’ll see what I mean if you stick around, right?

The Birth of a Forum

How like me, I know, to start something new and then abandon it. Nope, wasn’t abandoning this!

Some of you may know that I’ve been the administrator of the semi-official Camp Yeshua Forums for the past… oh, just under three years. As of late, I’ve been sharing it equally with my good friend James. A month or two ago, he called me up to tell me that CYF was starting to look kind of abandoned… buildings were falling down, trees were growing up, and the natives were running amok.

This somehow turned into not only a project to get CYF cleaned up, but to give it a clean slate and turn it into something bigger and better. Which we did, by birthing a new forum in its place. If any of you have been around long enough to remember Transitionalstate… it’s like that. We have such awesome plans for it, though, as this incredible community of Messianic believers from all over the world. In less than 48 hours of it being open, we gained 25 members and over 600 posts. It’s going to be very exciting!

But all that to say… now that it’s up and running smoothly, I may have a couple of minutes to work on this and my portfolio as well. I’m back into this Internet thing running!

And so without further ado, I can present Rejuvenated Generation, or ReGen for short.

Retrophobic Release

Well, here it is! Retrophobic.net is now released to the public. Make sure you add my feed to your friendly neighborhood feed reader, and we’ll have some fun with this!

Portfolios and Promotions

I spent some time on my portfolio the other day, and I think I’ve got it into something presentable. I’ve only got web design stuff up so far, and the writing I already had, but still, that’s better than nothing!

This stupid site is starting to come together.

In other, non-related news, there’s another possibility for that management spot before my birthday once again. I’m so befuddled about whether or not to take it, but I’m leaning towards taking it… sabbath or no sabbath. I mean, I’m not always going to be there. It’s just a step in the right direction… right?
