Hello world!

Happy Thanksgiving! Something about this cool November air prompted me to think of new beginnings, and I finally got up and plowed my way through a new website design. There’s nothing like looking at a bunch of websites, thinking about how they may or may not work with what you had in mind, picking out the stuff that worked, cannibalizing their CSS, jamming it into your own, have it not work, then troubleshoot, then have it sort of work, and then finally have it work, that really makes me feel alive. That and procrastination. Really turns me on.

Incidentally, this site is inspired a lot by the Criterion Collection‘s website. And also that there’s not much to it, as I really honestly don’t know all the tricks yet to CSS. So, once this post disappears into the archives, people will eventually just assume that a) I am one of those Helvetica-driven, minimalist site designers; b) I was too cheap to pay for someone to design it; c) I don’t know enough Photoshop or Gimp to make any graphics; and/or d) this is a lame reworking of “Kubrick”.

There’s music here, and there’s also finally an events calendar that I could just enter in WordPress and have them show up in order by date. It’s wonderful! I hope you like it. :)
