I finally updated the portfolio site (the blog got a new coat of paint too). I have some cool projects I’ll be adding soon, but I have to wait a bit – you know how it is. So check back because things will be shifting around for a while.

Want to know something embarrassing? I pretty much forgot about the “News” section of the previous site. When I switched my personal blog back to WordPress from Tumblr I forgot that the news section was still straggling back there in tumblr-land. So now I’ve decided to just post any updates here on my blog. I was trying to keep them separate but you see where that got me.

 

So! Hope you like the new site layout. And if anyone sees anything completely borked, be a dear and let me know, ok?

hey! new!

Dammit I’m sad about Elizabeth Taylor. I was standing in line to get some nice falafel when I heard and I got weepy (of course I’m also sort of exhausted).

I just adored her and I’m too sad about it. Because 99% of my friends growing up were southern queens who just worshiped her, because I spent a year of my teens doing a series of dioramas of Liz in her boudoirs, because she seemed like the most brassy, elegant thing ever… I don’t know. Maybe it’s just that she was so epically beautiful.

Boo.

Lifehacker, along with every other Gawker property, experienced a lengthy site-outage on Monday over a misbehaving piece of JavaScript. Gawker sites were reduced to being an empty homepage layout with zero content, functionality, ads, or even legal disclaimer wording. Every visitor coming through via Google bounced right back out, because all the content was missing.

Gawker, like Twitter before it, built their new site to be totally dependent on JavaScript, even down to the page URLs. The JavaScript failed to load, so no content appeared, and every URL on the page was broken. In terms of site brittleness, Gawker’s new implementation got turned up to 11.

Could be awesome.

People keep grumbling about how it’s going to wind up being Single White Female featuring Natalie Portman on acid. But I’ll be pretty satisfied if it turns out to be psychological, or unclear. Ambiguity isn’t always bad*, I mean the The Haunting of Julia with Mia Farrow was pretty creepy, yeah? And Aronofsky’s work has always had a dark 60s and 70s existentialist vibe to me so I won’t be surprised if it’s Repulsion-esque.

Also. Ryan Reynolds, yippee!
