So What Happened There?
Blog April 8th, 2009
The whole month of March went by with no posts to the blog. Sorry.
I had meant to, but I kept putting it off. Excuses, excuses. Blah blah blah.
Now, I could promise that I’ll be updating again more often, but I can’t since I don’t really have much to post about. I’m still on the job hunt in Chicago. Not much else.
At least I can give you all a new theme. Woo hoo.
And even though I didn’t post much, I did microblog like crazy. Maybe that’s what it’s come down to now… it’s all a series of microposts. Do I just not have anything to contribute anymore?
…
Yeah, I do. Here’s hoping I can get back to the routine again.
Some Progress
Blog, Internet, Programming, Site Update, TV November 20th, 2008
I’ve been working on the sites the past half year and I’ve finally decided to roll them out into the wild. I chose to make battlerobo.com my one blog; it was just annoying to have different sites to decide where to post. At first this site was going to be more personal with jasonaniceto.com being more professional and job-search friendly. I think I can accomplish both on this site. Anything that’s way too personal I’ll just password protect. The private, members-only security has been removed, too. All that plus a new layout!
Ionburn had been dormant for a long time, but I had been working on it for a while. It’s now updated. When you first go, it may look the same, but hang around for a minute and then you should notice something. There were more features than what’s there now, but I’m still working the bugs out. I made that one from scratch so I hope you like it.
JayNCoke got a total makeover as well. I made that one myself; and I’m really proud of it. I really want the site to be a sort of online portfolio more than a blog. I had to incorporate some nifty javascript fade effects as well as some full-on AJAX navigation. Also on the home page I created a sort of “lifestream” to pull my various web activity and put it in one place. There are several sites that do this to varying degrees, but I thought it’d be a cool project to do on my own.
So that’s it for now. Like I said before, I got some posts in the works as well. Hopefully I can keep my promise and update regularly now. If not, someone please remind me with a nice kick-in-the-butt.

Don’t worry. An update is coming soon. Lots of things have been happening and I’ve just been… busy with some projects. Expect some new posts that I had on the backburner as well as some other interesting stuff I’ve been working on.
And how about that new President, hm? Seriously, that’s HISTORY right there.
Here’s something fun to look at… I used Wordle to make this word cloud from all the words from every post on this blog from the past what… 6 years? Damn, that’s a long time. Check it out:

So keep in mind that the larger the word, the more frequently I had used it in my posts. And the great thing about using Wordle than most other word cloud generators is the way it makes it. Pretty much putting it in more color/font formatted layout. And the random placement of the words kind of makes it more hilarious, if not eerily coincidental, like “damn site”, “school hell”, and *cough* “coming ass”.

Updates N Stuff
Blog January 18th, 2008
Sorry for the lack of updates and posts. Usual excuses: too busy, not enough time, nothing interesting to post, lack of will to post something. Sorry!
Well, as you can see, if you’ve been here before, I’ve changed the theme. It’s called Fauna. I like it. And I really like the graphic design of the circles and colors. Makes me happy!
I hope I’ll be updating this site more. I just have to really keep on it. We shall see, huh?
