So… the site changed. Again. I upgraded to WordPress 2.2 and I figured I would change the style with it. I haven’t been thrilled with the style of the site (yet everything I come up with is crap, too) but I’m liking the one I picked now. Lets see how long that’ll last for, right?

In other news, I am really proud to announce that I finished putting together the concept behind iFeedFish.com. Thanks to some encouragement from some of the awesome people at work, like Matt (who introduced me to effect queues), and Tom (who totally loved the concept and encouraged me to continue), I am near completion of the site. The bugs are out of the JS animations and overall it’s 99% complete (and totally workable as-is).

The slide transitions that are being done on it are kind of a knock-off of the Coda site using the Scriptaculous library. Once I add a few more features I plan on releasing my JS code under the MIT license, so others can benefit and add on to the effect. It’ll be my first openly released piece of software, and I’m very excited about it.

In other news, I think the move to NYC has been very good to me. I’ve been feeling more creative and coming up with more web concepts than I can count. Today I started using Backpack, and even though I’ve messed with it before I never really got ‘into’ it - something that’s changing now. With the growing community of creative support I have around me, it’s time to kick-it into gear, and once started, I don’t think there’s anything that can stop me.
