Life As It Comes
BleachedNo Comments
I decided I didn’t like the way I had distributed the color scheme over the site. No offense to the colors themselves. Maybe I’ll bring it all back using the same scheme, just re-tooled, but for now I’m pouring a can of bleach over the page and starting anew.
The only trouble is, I’m getting ready for travel in the next day or so, so you’ll likely be looking at “bleached” for a few weeks. To my eyes, in Firefox, it’s not entirely displeasing. In Internet Explorer though, there’s some layout funkiness that was somewhat masked by the colors.
New Site Feature: North N South6 Comments
A few months ago, my friend Melissa (”Missa”) emailed me about a cool project called 3191. Two friends take pictures every day and juxtapose them together on a site. Missa and I thought it would be cool to give that a try, though we are only ambitious enough to do one a week initially.
So, here is the first entry:
Sayonara Shelfari3 Comments
I’ve decided to not use Shelfari any longer. There are two main reasons for this:
→The javascript for their widget messes with lightbox (which will be important when I get photos going).
→The widget is broken half the time.
So, I’ll be auditioning other ways to drive that section or replace it with something else.
Update: I’m now using Amazon Showcase.
Introducing: Opus9 Comments
Welcome to lifeasitcomes.com! The transition to this new domain took much longer than I had hoped, but I am back, and you are looking at “Opus.”
When I first started on the design for the rebirth of this site, I went through several drafts. The one that became what you see here, I titled “Opus.” When I first named it that, I thought to myself, “that may be an overly ambitious name.” Now, having launched, I would say it easily represents my best work to-date in the realm of web design. I say that in all modesty, too.
I expect to tweak things here and there over time, but hopefully I can stick it out with this design for some time to come. (One upcoming tweak is the addition of a logo, arriving soon!)
Live Update II: The Legend of Curly’s Gold4 Comments
Due to fierce protesting, I’ll keep the blog up while I write/design the new site, since it may be slow-going anyway. You may get to see it live, or maybe I’ll just post sneak-peeks now and again.
