After my little retrospective on my birthday, I felt the need to finish revamping this blog (visually, that is). So here it is, version 4. Be sure you give the browser a good hard refresh. But given the lack of activity here, I doubt it’s necessary for anyone. It’s back to the basics, and making sure I put every single HTML element in its proper place, while maintaining a decently organized stylesheet. Good practice for the upcoming Big Rewrite at work. Moreover, I’m getting better at Textpattern — an awesome CMS IMHO.

New Section

Along with the new design, I decided to add a new section to the blog, just to try to make the blog a little bit more interesting. There I will be spouting hot air about movies, TV shows, musicals, and music that I’ve either enjoyed or endured. I’ve written a few to kick it off.

So What Now?

Hopefully I’ll stick to my little list and post more. More personal projects coming down the pipeline. And of course, stay tuned for the new Goldstar.com

Most of you reading this already know: I just accepted a new job as a web developer/designer at Goldstar Events. My main responsibilities will be to maintain and update their XHTML/CSS code and their UI design. The opportunity came pretty much out of the blue. I saw the job posting randomly, but I thought it was ideal since it was local (I live only 2-3 blocks away!).

I have to say being a stay-at-home husband these past few months really helped to recharge my batteries. But now I’m ready and excited about beginning a new chapter of my life. Some of you might be curious about the company, so it’s best if I include some links:

As part of our transition to Pasadena, I decided to start a little photoblog.

Why not do it over here? Well, I’m planning on taking this blog in another direction — exactly what it is I am not sure. I do know it has yet to find its own voice. However, the scope of the photoblog is well-defined, and it offers motivation and a platform to hone my primitive photography skills.

I’m not sure how long I’ll keep up the photoblog, but the thinking now is to run it for at least one year. We’ll see how it goes. For now, enjoy. The photoset can also be found here.
