  • Oh hey, I made a video

    If you haven’t already seen it on Museum Themes (it’s on the front page) or on the Arcane Palette YouTube page, I made a movie. Okay, it’s really just a promotional trailer for our new theme, but I tried to make it as dramatic as a trailer for a WordPress theme could be. Oh yeah,…

  • What’s going on with this blog

    So I haven’t posted anything in a long time. Part of it was the SOPA/PIPA thing and the protest and I said I’d leave the blackout page up until SOPA/PIPA was gone for good and it sort of is and sort of isn’t. But that became an excuse, really, because then I started working on…

  • lull

    the blog’s been quiet for a reason. it’s RPM season, which means that in addition to being already busy with clients and projects and our special [ap] side project we were planning to work on this month (ed note: doesn’t look like it’s happening this month :/ ), i’m also trying to get 35 minutes…

  • Finding a web host that doesn’t suck…for dummies

    class=”aligncenter” We’ve all been there at some point.  You’re on the phone with some bored dude behind a computer anywhere between 200 and 9,000 miles away who may or may not speak English like a native but whose name is invariably something as innocuous as John.  He sounds like he might know what he’s talking…

  • so this is what pro blogging is all about

    arcane palette just got our first affiliate commission. this is really exciting for us, because this is essentially like getting free money. and suddenly, i get it. i get how upstartblogger and probably countless other pro-bloggers make their living. it’s not through adsense, on which you make pennies unless you get thousands and thousands of hits a day…

  • There’s Too Many ThinkTanks

      so here’s the story: back in the mid- to late-nineties, i made a lot of music.  i was angsty and in high school, and spent a lot of time focussing that angsty into some screamy tunes set to bad synthesizers that i called music.  i even had a fake record label.  or three. first,…
