I’m Back!

Wow, looking at the previous post, I see I’ve been on this break for almost a month. I don’t think I’ve gone that long without blogging since I started this site. It’s been so long that I actually had to remind myself about the steps I take to post (image size, using Marsedit, etc…).
It’s been a good break, and I needed it, but now I’m itching to start blogging again. Oh, and if you sent me any emails while I was away, I’ll try to get to those soon as well. Sorry for the delay.
My original intention was to disconnect myself as much as possible from my computer, but I actually did spend some time redesigning my portfolio site. Primarily because I wanted to switch my motion graphics examples over to Flash video, and add some recent work, but I also just couldn’t stand to look at that site any longer. I originally threw the (old) site together in an evening, over 3 years ago. I needed something up in a hurry, but I’ve been meaning to change it ever since. The new site went semi-live last night. I say semi-live because I’m actually still tweaking it. I was hoping to get it up by the 1st, but I just couldn’t get it done.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a good holiday and new years. Like me, I’m sure you’re now plenty excited about Macworld. I’ll be talking about that in my next post.

Your portfolio site looks great.
You’re hired!

Indeed it does! Welcome back!

Paul, your portfolio site is REALLY SOMETHING! Like, really! I’ve whacked it straight on my bookmarked list of really great sites, the list I usually browse when I’m completely stumped for inspiration on project work.
Nice job, and welcome back!

I love the design. Nice use of lightbox. Anytime you want to do a “how’d I do that” writeup I’ll click all the adsense links for ya. :)
In your header: Mulitmedia should be multimedia?

Doh! Thanks for catching that, Chris. I’ve looked at that a bazillion times and didn’t even notice. I really don’t want to be a mulitmedia designer :)
As a matter of fact, I do have a couple posts coming up about lightbox, and it’s little brother, slimbox. That should be coming up within the next few days.

You could be the only multimedia designer out there - might be a captive market!
Not to be confused with a mullet designer. Poor career choice there.

D’oh! Now I misspelt it. Mulitmedia I meant.
