Tommy Made Me Do It 8
And just to get out of my post-slump here, I thought I’d grant the request of my good friend Tommy and email Mr. Garrett from Minimology. Here follows the email:
Dearest Mr. Garrett,
In compliance with Milk Basilica Article 135, Section 2, Paragraph 1, Sentences 6-7, I must say… I’m gonna punch you in the face and throw
you off a cliff ;DOh, and love the site :P
Yours,
Joey Brooks

Update
The ensuing sequence went like so:
Chris Garrett: I’ma gonna kill Tommy first!
Me: Oh! Nuh uuuuuuuh. I’m Tommy’s bodyguard, you have to get through me, and I’m shoving you off that cliff, sirrah! ;D
CG: I’ll be sure to wear a parachute
Me: I’ll jump after you, chop it off, and use the remnants of the parachute to safe-guard myself :P
CG: I’ll make sure that it’s made from Nylon!
Me: Darn you, I’m foiled once more.
Heh, thanks for being such a good sport, Chris ;D
Addictions: The Release 13
The long-awaited (by… uh… Anthony and me) release of Addictions is finally upon us.
My first foray into PHP and Wordpress Plugins, Addictions is a little plugin meant to record and store on your sidebar your current favorites (”addictions”) in the areas of books, music, games, and movies, a la Jason Santa Maria’s “Current Leisures” and, of course, my “Addictions.” There’s not much to say about it, it’s very simple. After installation, you just plug in the information in the Options panel and you’re done. That’s it, outside of any styling you may want to do, and with classes put on most everything, you can do that with ease as well. That being said, you can get more info by going to the official doc page, and download links are below. Enjoy.
Update
Addictions has been updated to v1.0-RC2. There was a bug reported by a user that the movie titles and, subsequently, amazon links (since these two are intertwined) weren’t working. This was due to a typo on my part and was also found in the game code, and was fixed. I also took advantage of the time being spent fixing the “bug” to add the console section to the game settings, so enjoy that added feature. The download links above are still the ones to be used :) .
And She Shall Be Called “Silky” 10
A much needed makeover this site needed, and a makeover it got. As summer fades away (yikes, listen to those blood-curdling screams from all the kids at the very mention of the end of summer), and school kicks back in (again, the screams), I wanted something simple, minimalistic, something not bad on the eyes.
So, I returned to a look not unlike version 1 of this site (but oh, oh, oh so better), went grayscale (contrary to “Blue Funk” and “Super Blue Funk - Summer ‘05″), and went nuts. I came up with this monster in mockup form, coded it up, and named her Silky.
The name is partially inspired by Silkscreen (the font you find at the very top and very bottom), but also inspired by what I think is the general feel of the design, the flow of it. So, enjoy her while she’s here, which’ll hopefully be longer than Super Bluey…
