Yeah, that’s right guys! ANOTHER exercise in web-design.
Really, this time it was just to get my blog looking like my freshly redesigned portfolio site. It’s been a few months getting to the right way I want it. When i first did the portfolio split from the blog about 5 months back it felt good but after a few weeks, I wasn’t really satisfied with the design. I played around with a few options and settled on the update I showed you guys 32 days ago (according to textpattern).
All I really did today was update my header image, remove the vertical green picture that sat in-between the content and the header (so I could widen my content area), and create this super slick sidebar. Go ahead and look at it…it’s hot, right?
Blogging
Tiffany keeps getting on my case about updating my blog and she’s totally right. I’ve been super slack lately. I used to update at least twice a week and now I’m lucky if I get one update in two weeks.
That being said, I vow to try and keep providing some regular content for this blog. I say try because promises like these, I don’t always deliver on.
…so I present to you, my first post inside of a post! Enjoy!
Last songs
I was driving around in my car the other day and I got to the last song on whatever album I was listening to and started thinking about how different bands arrange their “last song” on the tracklist.
Do I prefer to be sent off with peace and reflection or am I more of an out-with-a-bang kind of guy?
I decided that I’m more in favor of the latter but that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy a cool melody to finish off the ride every now and then.
Here’s some of my favorite “last songs” from albums I’ve been listening to recently:
The Gossip – Four Letter Word
From “Music for Men”
Does It Offend You Yeah? – Epic Last Song
From “Does It Offend You Yeah?”
Cage The Elephant – Free Love
From “Cage The Elephant”
The 1990′s – Situation
From “Cookies”

Slick indeed. Maybe consider changing the side gradient to be more coherent with the portfolio site?
Also, you should think about changing the about tab to go to your main portfolio about page to keep things consistent.
