J is for January (and CES)

     Hello everyone. I realize I haven’t posted in a while, but bear with me as I’m in the processes of organizing my work area at my apartment and getting everything set up to be a more productive writer in all aspect of writing, including the blog here. Right now, I’m watching a ton of live coverage from CES as not only is CNET doing live content, but Revision3 and TWiT. Its a bit crazy splitting my eyes on each network so that I don’t miss a thing. It’s extremely informative and with the help of the three networks, I’m not missing a thing.

     As stated before, I’ve redone my workspace at my apartment to not only have more space, but to use my new birthday gift to its fullest – the 27inch i7 iMac. It’s crazy that I got it and I’m loving it. I’ve almost got down how I’m going to use the Mac in conjunction with my laptop here to make my mobile writing sync with my home writing. I’m going to do some tests to even determine if I’ll even keep Windows on this laptop, which I think will be the case. 

     This year is also going to be a year of learning. Though not with this post, I’m trying to get into the habit of typing in markdown. It is all part of my “less formatting, more writing” style I want to get into where out of habit I just start typing and not worry about what the hell it will look like in the editor. I want to write with less fussing with the look and just know that when I put “*” around a word, it will bold it regardless of where the content is. That and also eliminate the concept of any quick keys. That will probably take a long while to get down, but it should help speed things up on the writing front.

    It’s going to an exciting year for me and I’m going to try and make some posts on here be more visual and do some sort of video update on a weekly or so basis. Not quite sure on that, but I’ll worry about that later. Just know that this is hopefully the year I get stuff done. 

New Host

Two major changes in a row. If you’re seeing this, you should not only see a new design, but I should be on my new host of Squarespace. In the end of all my design revision, I realized I’m kind of tired of coding and designing and should get back to writing and such. There might be some other moves in the coming months, such as a domain transfer, but if that happens, it will only be momentary. In case, enjoy my new host. As since the move, though the comments did make the transfer fine, the disqus setup did not. The guys at disqus were very helpful and would be able to remap each comment, but it is too much of a hassle to worry about it. I sill have the comments and if you want to post the exact same thing, feel free to. But for now, its probably time for a reset anyways. Enjoy the new host and from here on out, we have ways to get all the data out.
