I’m terrible at posting this month an it hurts me in my inner bits. I’m working on a couple of goals like I did in November 2011. I want to commit myself to writing every day for a month, for example. I think that would be good. However, I want to do one of the challenge months but I don’t have any particular ones in mind. If anyone reading this knows a good, 30 Days of Things to Write About on Your Blog, let me know because I want to start in September.

I’m also considering a website redesign because I realized I did things terribly wrong the last time. With the redesign I did of my work’s website, I learned that there are better ways to design WordPress themes. I want to do that. Also, as much as I love the design I have now, it’s starting to look dated. Seriously, I have “floating” boxes and limited scroll. I think that flat, clean designs are in vogue now. I want to jump on that bandwagon.

I have a real world project I’m working on. I bought an old moped for my girlfriend to use while she’s at school. Since I bought it one the cheap (it had a title), I knew there would be things I would have to replace/fix/upgrade but it’s consuming a lot of my web time as I shop for parts and it’s consuming the rest of my days when I’m not at work nor is the girlfriend over. Here’s a picture I snapped the day I picked it up:

In the last bit of news before I drive down to Chicago for the rest of the weekend (photos pending), I frustrated that I haven’t even started my profile picture redesign yet. It’s more than halfway through August and I usually start these things in June and tweak them for a couple of months. At least this time around, I know exactly what I want to do. That will save time but that doesn’t really mean I’ve gotten anywhere with it.
