After a few busy weeks I’ve finished my finals and moved into a new apartment (if you can guess I’m not exactly built for moving furniture from one third floor apartment to another). It’s finally summer. But now that I’m finished I just want to get back to work. I suppose that’s just how I am, but fortunately I have a long list of summery projects.
I’m spending a chunk of my summer working at the MICA Pre-College program as a Teachers Assistant/Residence Counselor (TARC). I’m very excited for the opportunity to share my skills with a younger group of developing artists and show them around Baltimore. I’ll also be interning for the rest of the summer in a design studio in the harbor, which I’m sure will be a great experience as well.
One of the first things I’m working on is a re-design of my site. After many many iterations I eventually decided to just cut my site down to the essentials, making it as simple and functional as I could. Unfortunately it’s not very exciting. I’ve been working in web design and development for a while now, but still my abilities are increasing so fast that with every site I create the one before it, or even the one I just finished, looks like garbage. Fortunately the other site I’m finishing up still looks decent, so maybe I’m getting somewhere. My new site will have a more interesting, friendly design, some new features and more interactive toys, and a sprinkling of fancy Flash and JavaScript effects. I’ve got a few other web projects cued up, including a big site about Data Visualization, a couple of WordPress Themes, and hopefully some Flash games just for fun.
My friends and I also have long list of movies to watch, some new recipes to try (sushi & samosas! but not together), some vegetables to grow on our new deck. And of course some new art.

kind of an imaginary audience, huh?
tony
perhaps, and that makes you figment number one.
jim
touché!

I’m not sure if your site needs a new design. It’s simple and minimalistic.
How long have you had this one?
