So, last night I did a little more work on the theme I’m trying to create. I’m thinking I like squared corners the best. I’m also pretty sure I’m sticking with the current color scheme and type faces. Let me know what you think!

Just got my hands on Adobe CS3 and decided to try and come up with a new WordPress theme design. What I have is really rough but it’s a start — can’t wait to see how this all pans out in a week or so.

My code name for this project is going to have to be “Maverick” since my last one was “Blue Steel.” Maybe next I’ll create “La Tigra” who knows! Let me know your thoughts!

But how do you learn all the tricks? Why isn’t there a comprehensive diagram of all the tricks you can do? Well now there is! Thanks go to Google image search for helping me find these images. Enjoy my gigantic diagram (pictured below).

I used to write/arrange a bunch of silly songs in FL Studio but that all stopped when my Gateway laptop crapped out on me 2 years ago. The other day I was listening to some music by Tycho and decided I couldn’t stand not making bad techno/trance/electronica/dance anymore.

So what did I do? I got myself a copy of the newest build of Parallels — an application that runs a virtual machine of virtually any variety on your computer, allowing you to run Ubuntu, OS X, Windoze XP and Vista, and beyond. Heck, if you want to, you can even run Windoze 3.1 with Parallels!

Thanks to the University of Delaware, I was able to obtain a legitimate FREE copy of Windoze Vista Business, which I ended up installing on my iMac with Parallels. However, I’m having a lot of trouble trying to get Vista to share my network connection — I’ve tried everything. Expecting set backs like this with Vista, I also went ahead and installed Windoze XP so I could run my favorite Windoze application, FL Studio.

NOTE:Not that anyone reads my posts or even comes to my Web site, but I thought someone somewhere would find this to be of some value.

I’ve been rocking out for the last month or so with some old time friends and it’s been awesome. We’ve sorta struggled to come up with a name that’ll stick, but as of now we’re going by Julian Day. The name works for me; we’ll see how it’s received by the public shortly — we’re playing our first show in Newark, DE at the East End Cafe this Sunday at 6pm. Should be interesting!

Here’s a slightly more detailed description of our band and how we formed…

Ohh boy! Well, Ian and Paul started playing together in High School. They were in a band called Six Strings Free. It was a bad high school band; prog rock with funk break-downs and the whatnot. Then Ian, Paul and Jared were all in a band called Magonia which only played two live shows. That stuff was pretty wussy, a whole lot of whining about girls and heart-laden sleeves. Then Paul, Jared and Eddie were in a band called Kynipshen. They were pretty good…for a nu-metal rap group. Dennis is in a Newark cover band called Fever Dog and he’s know all the other dudes for years. And he happens to be a badass bass player.

Anyway, when Ian decided to move back to Maryland from Chicago, he needed a new band (his old band, Gyre, was obviously now broken up). So, he called upon these other titans of the tri-state area and after a lot of talking and a lot of beer, they decided to form Julian Day. So yeah, that’s about it…for now.

So if you think you might be interested, the show is $3.00 for under 21 and $5.00 for 21+. You can find out how to get there via Google…
