Blog
Everyone has a blog these days, I just want to fit in. You never know, one of these days one of my posts will be linked by loads of web-famous people and I'll get tons if hits. That'll be sweet blog validation.
Blogging? Seriously?
I read a great article by Nicholas Carr about how the internet is ruining our attention spans. I couldn't agree with him more, in fact, I'm already bored of writing this entry. I'd rather go check my mail or see if anyone's posted anything new to Flickr. Plus there's this HUGE fly in my house that's just buzzing around and it's driving me insane. Oh, and I'm watching South Park while I try and write this. It's the one where Kyle has surgery to become tall and black so he can be good at basketball. I've seen this one but I don't want to turn it to Iron Chef because then I'll get all involved in the show and never finish this post.
*sigh* This post is going to be weird.
New Devotchka Website
Between the banner ads, email layouts, site updates and endless revisions, sometimes I get to be a part of a really cool project. That was the case on the new Devotchka website. I did the content management and administration back-end for this Flash site. This marks the first time I've created an administration tool for a Flash site using the AWESOME Symphony content management system.
I thought I'd go over some of the how and why of the back-end for this site. So read on and join the XML/XSLT THRILL RIDE!
