Comes complete with Ibuki 404 Page!

I let the site sit stagnant for a long time and felt like it was time to really give it some attention… and content.  So I felt it was important for this new one to be a custom theme i built myself. Changing an existing themes colors and images just didn’t sit right with me anymore. I should also note this was not built from *scratch* I used Starkers Naked Theme Starkers is a bare-bones WordPress theme created to act as a starting point for the theme designer. I am also using  JetPack, Jetpack supercharges your self‑hosted WordPress site with the awesome cloud power of WordPress.com, lastly I want to mention Theme Switch, It was a great asset to work on this without jacking up what I had going on.

This theme was alot of fun to actually work with, for 1… I have been out of the game for the most part for a long time. Having taking management responsibilities .. designing, writing mark-up etc quickly became less and less of my day and was replaced with outlook, live meetings and excel.

Along with getting my resume, work etc up on this site.. (which will probably require some additional work to the theme with a custom page template ) I wanted to do more “talking” about things I am interested in. Honestly, It all came about because i posted 3 sci-fi motivation posters on a post one day I found. Didn’t think anything of it until i looked at my traffic… about a month or so later my traffic shot through the roof (traffic for this site was nothing previous) all views of that post, and keyword searches for the same. So apparently there is a lot of interest out there for things like that. So why the hell not?  Lets see if I can actually get anything up here worth a read that io9 hasn’t already done yet.

So if you are ready this post… and your not a creepy internet spider… hopefully there is more to come.
