ta da!

April 9, 2011 By Administrator

I’ve been tweaking a lot of little things on the website.  The homepage now has a nice updated list of upcoming events (two the first week in May!).  Plus, I changed the font!  It feels like the housewife who just got a new haircut and is waiting to see if her husband (aka the general public in this case) notices the change.  I like it; feels more clean.  But I am open to suggestions & criticism if anyone’s got some.  Plus I fixed the blog menu bar so now you can link directly from this blog to all my other website pages (portfolio, statement, etc).

I’ve been thinking I should revive my e-newsletter.  I started using Mail Chimp a while ago, but haven’t really sent out many updates.  Perhaps if I had more subscribers, I would be more motivated to use it… (subtle hint).

First rumblings of spring thunderstorms are coming through Minneapolis tonight.  I love thunder.  Reminds me of stormy nights visiting my grandparents at their old house at the mill in Ohio.  The windows rattled with the wind and it was kind of creepy, but the memory of it now is somehow comforting.  This picture might have been taken there, not sure.  I saw the Dusty Porch Sisters play today at the Walker for the MN Made event, which was great, and made me feel a little bit of nostalgia.

blog styling still in progress

November 26, 2010 By Administrator

I’m still tweaking things around to get this new blog setup to look similar enough to my main site that viewers won’t feel like they’ve gone to a completely different web page.  Fiddling around with wordpress has been more frustrating than I thought it would be; for some reason it takes forever for the changes I make to go through.  I have this vague unfounded hope that creating a new post will wake up the system somehow.  But at least I figured out how to get my tweets into the sidebar, so I guess that’s something.  all the wordpress widgets seemed to be useless but copying the html from twitter’s profile widget builder into a text widget in the sidebar seems to be working nicely.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!  Mine was pretty low key, baked a bunch of pumpkin bread and took some over to Alex’s family’s house where they were having a Thanksgiving meal.  Ended up watching Avatar not once, but twice.  Kind of ridiculous.  I justified the second time with the facts that I was watching it with family members & friends, and it looked a lot better on their big screen than it did in the morning on our computer monitor.

Had to go to work today, but listening to MPR kept me going.  Science Friday had some great stuff this afternoon.  The bacteria-themed Ig Nobel awards were hilarious and were followed by a flashback rebroadcast of a show from about twenty years ago in which they discussed “the future of the internet.”  Laughed out loud at the ponderings about how “even the White House is using the internet now” and the callers referring to their “work station” instead of a computer.  My job would be so lonesome if I didn’t have a radio in that kitchen.  Wish I could play podcasts in there though, that would be amazing.  Except it would probably hamper my productivity because I would put off going downstairs to get the extra ingredient I needed just to hear the rest of whatever conversation I was listening to.  Maybe I do that anyway with regular radio…?

I was going to post a pic of my nifty “Springboard Artist” mug that I got when our workshops ended (sigh) set on my drafting table next to a new painting (of berries!), but I have once again lost my memory card adapter (double sigh), so that will have to wait.
