"Being with me is like a bubble bath..."

Tagged with site updates, in my life

As promised, the picture albums are up. Quite faster than I had expected, honestly. You can access the most recent albums by clicking the thumbnail images at right (if you're reading this on the homepage) or by clicking the "Pictures" link in the top navigation. The current albums aren't exactly recent; I'll post new ones soon.

I spent the afternoon at the DC Improv watching the raddest new performer to hit the DC comedy scene. "She's short but she's funny", the MC said as she stepped onto the stage. Her stage name...Juicy JBro, emphasis on the Juicy. I've always enjoyed watching her in her comedic element. I was definitely proud to see her up there. Not in a father towards his son becoming a young man kind of way, but in that way that simply says I'm glad to see her doing something she wants to and working hard to achieve it.

It was a blast seeing a talented bunch of junior improvisationalists' culminate a mere 6 weeks of improv training with their graduating show. Being on stage in front of a crowd would be hard for many. Being on stage in front of a crowd and making them laugh would be hard for most. Being on stage in front of a crowd and making them laugh, while spontaneously responding to audience input is just damn impressive.

Lastly, I hate cold weather!

Live though not complete

I tend to release my site redesigns a bit premature; mainly out of excitement for showing it off to the world. I'm sure you can understand. It's the great culmination of hours and hours of work. The grand finale. The great unveiling. So here it is -- in its mostly complete form.

The only problem, however, is that once the project has been release into the wild it tends to lie dormant in completion and updates. I promise to be better this time around.

Why? Pride. I'm really proud of this effort, having coded everything from scratch using BDD best practices. I realize that might not mean much to most.

Anyhow, as I said the site isn't entirely finished so let me apologize in advance for the blank pages and any other oddities you might encounter. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy your visit and return soon.

Best,
Eric
