Still not happy about the blog theme. This is supposed to look like a semi transparent glass thingy. But apart from the visual changes the most important change is the extra wide article space.
I’m not too fond of the font yet. So expect more changes in the near future…
Friends of mine got a cute little kitten called Spikey. Isn’t he cute?
Today is the birthday of one of my musical heroes since I was a little boy of around ten. The first time I heard his music I knew: this is it. This is what music should sound like. A highly energetic, loud and fast kind of music I never heard before.
I regularly enjoyed live shows where the music had even more power and energy than the records. While the band was finishing one song Herman already started the intro of the next song on his piano.
Herman Brood was born on the 5th of november 1946. He would have been 61 today were he still alive. Not forgotten, sorely missed.
Just a quick note: I created a new theme for my blog. Unfortunately this theme is not suited for distribution since it contains graphics specific for my blog called “BloggEd!”
If you are using wordpress as well and you are interested in this theme please leave a comment. If enough people like it I will create a generalized version suitable for any wordpress blog out there. This takes some time though so I will only do this if enough people like the theme.
Kirk out.
“I’m a backdoor man” sang Jim Morrison way back when. I would have to change that to “I’m a backend man” as a software engineer working primarily on backend computer systems.
As a backend-man I hardly get to design user interfaces or any other things that will be noticed by the users of the applications. The challenges at the backend are numerous and as such my job is very satisfying. However when friends and relatives ask what I do all day I can’t show them anything. There’s no visual evidence of my labor.
One of my friends managed to escape the backend-life to focus on design. The great thing is that every once in a while he can show some of the great things he has accomplished.
Lately he contacted me to check out his latest work of art. Stuff like this makes online shopping more fun. He created a really great Rube Goldberg machine.
