Redesign

Well, it’s been about a year (maybe a little more) since I last updated the look of the website (mercutiom.com) and I guess that means it’s time for a redesign. Since I’m doing a lot more on Twitter, 12seconds.tv, not to mention on the blog itself, I’m thinking that incorporating all those into the redesign will be a must.

The big question, though, is what do I want the site to look like? Yeah, I could keep the dark tone going, but I don’t think that really reflects who I am. So I want to do something a little brighter and happy-go-lucky.

I guess I’ll have to break out the ol’ Photoshop and get to work. But first I’ll probably get out a notpad (gridded of course) and sketch out some ideas.

I thought Liv would find this interesting.

I have an evil number of friends on Facebook.

It’s been raining a lot here lately. So much so that there is actually moss growing throughout the backyard. It reminds me of the Midwest in Spring.

If you had access to a time machine, where and when would be the first place you travel to?

Jerusalem circa 30AD. Finally put that whole question to rest. Then up to Mecca in 620 to get that whole thing figured out as well. Oh, and I’m bringing a video camera.

Flux Capacitor?

No someone at work was trying to explain the Lost timelines.

Water bottle replaced. Now was that so hard?

To Torrent Or Not

I’m a tech geek so I know exactly how to torrent files. I even know how the whole torrent system works and why. Currently, I choose not to torrent anything, not even files and programs I could legally download.

But I’m aggravated. There are shows out there that I want to watch but I can’t. I work nights and watch most of my TV online through sites like Hulu and NetFlix. But there are some shows (“How I Met Your Mother” and “Big Bang Theory”) that I’m all caught up on through last season, but not any recent episodes that I really want to watch.
