Thoughts Out Loud
Second Running
First I think this might be the new and improved post “run” layout. I’m not going to pretend I spend even half of that time running, jogging, or even walking particularly fast. I intend that with time and repetition, speed will come. I’m telling myself that my biggest hurdle, my breathing was caused by chronic…
Truth in Advertising
When I hit the start button I wanted lightning to strike and to find Thor standing majestically ready for battle in my shoes. What I found instead was that he was still fat, still tired, and still 40. But I did the thing as I told you I would. But more importantly, as I told…
And Everybody Nose
I’ve always been the snotty kid. A stuffy nose having, mouthing breather. It got worse the older I got, the more gross, gritty, and crappy things I was forced by life and circumstance to inhale. It eventually got to the point where everyone could always hear exactly how little air I was getting while I…
Day Xero
Currently, I weigh 374 lbs-378 lbs. Depending on the time of day, what I last ate, and the quality of my last trip to the bathroom. That’s a lot, a life-affecting, self-image ruining, a lot. So I’ve decided to fix it as best I can. I don’t know if returning to the doctor-recommended 220 lbs…
Back to Basics
For starters, no I haven’t abandoned my little vanity project here. I haven’t even been busy working on other projects. It’s just that everything I’ve been at doesn’t bear much visible fruit here. At least not yet. I’ve been working away at The Odin Project on and off for a while, at some point I’d…
Stylistic 4
Is this the epic finale of the thrilling Stylistic Series? At least for now. I’ve added a Favicon, no more WP rookie badging for me. I’ve finally gotten to those categories. This one is under “Technobabble” which will be the general category for site information and updates. The rest feel pretty self-explanatory except for maybe…
Stylistic 3
Finally have the content in the boxes matched to the width of the boxes. Now I’m contemplating something to fill the white space on every page. A background image of some kind. What I’d really like to do is have something contextual or maybe semi-live. Maybe images taken from some free source like the local…
Stylistic 2
More boxes, more flow, I’m now not as sure about that shade of gray. But very sure about the boxes. The boxes on the individual post pages is perhaps too wide. I’m not sure quite yet. The long term plan is to write things with more length and substance so the wider viewing angle could…
Stylistic
So fancy pants boxes on the posts page. I like it and am trying to decide if its something I should roll out for all the text on all the pages. The black and white is a little stark. I have also been thinking about softening that black and the white too really. But is…
