12 Songs in 2010: July Project
Here is a rough draft of where the creative process has lead me this time around. It is not quite what I envision for a more fully realized take, but I found this sketch interesting enough. I borrowed some sample snippets from a lesser known song by a well known group from the 80s (and 90s). I am unsure if this qualifies it as an edit or song (or theft), although labelling it as such doesn't matter too much right now anyway.

12 Songs in 2010: June Project
The month of June brought a new kind of song into my life. While I was involved in the creation process I can't really take the credit...my wife did all the hard work. Meet Mila, our second daughter, she's as lovely as sunshine.

This mix contains a bit more of the earlier Svek label's catalog and is definitely some of my favorite music from the label.
The first song, Kaos, which was released on Svek ...
Lab Project #2
Oh yeah, this web site is an ongoing project, so I wanted to document it here. I am slowly constructing a Wordpress child theme (called "red headed step child") based on Justin Tadlock's excellent Wordpress Hybrid theme framework. I am enjoying learning the infinite possiblities of the Wordpress platform, CSS, and deepening my understanding of PHP. I imagine I'll update this post more as I continue to dig in and evolve the site over time.
My to-do list:
- Improve category landing page layout
- Actually create a wholistic design for my site/child theme
- Improve post excerpt formatting
- Expand navigation to include Scripts/Tools tab ...
