  • Notifications, 2

    Oh man. I’m stoked about this plugin. Part of the reason I’m so excited about it is because there’s no notification plugin in the WordPress.org repository called “Notifications”. Whaaat? Seriously? No one claimed that? It’s for reals, yo. The closest the repo has is WP Notifications. Now why would someone name a plugin WP Notifications…

  • Notifications

    How many times have you wanted to display a sitewide notification on your site? I’ve needed it a lot on a variety of sites, and the plugins I’ve found in the repository left much to be desired. I decided to create my own, which is still in development, that I plan on uploading to WordPress.org.…

    Read about The Signal on Percussa’s blog

    Celine from Percussa asked me to write a blog post for their site on The Signal because she thought I’d probably do a better job of talking about it than she would. I did, and the post is now live on their site. This is the first time since the Kickstarter project that I’ve really…

  • New look for jazzsequence.com (again…)

    New look for jazzsequence.com (again…)

    So, the jazzsequence.com redesign is still on (or at least planned), but I figured, since I just got a theme hosted in the WordPress.org themes repository, I might as well make it, you know, my theme so that at least one person is using it live, right? So here it is: Museum Core. I’ve also…

  • 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…

  • Record. Keeping.

    Today I went through my modest collection of vinyl records. Not to listen to. Not even to sort or alphabetize or chronologize or even to sell. I went through my records for a project that will involve mounting said records on one wall in our living room. E and I had discussed, vaguely, the idea…

  • On the music front

    Here’s what I’ve currently got going on the music front for me…I thought I’d list it all out since it’s not insignificant: Mixing/co-producing Synaptic Disturbance’s RPM2011 album This is sort of the first official Plague Music undertaking.  Working on this with Geoff from The Raygun Girls who has, thus far, succeeded in keeping me in…

  • New gig

    As of today, I have a new gig. The longer story is that things have been slow in the web design front.  My going theory is that the industry — especially given the economy; that great excuse we’ve been using for everything from health care to what store we shop at — is moving toward…
