Random Musings.
Lets, um, muse?
So, it’s been apparent to me that I need to blog more, and seeing as I’m moving out of my house in a few weeks, and the school semester ending, I’ll have time to do that. So, let’s give this a shot (shall we?) — I’m going to blog more about the progress of stuff I’ve been up to. “What stuff?”, you might ask. Well, here’s a taste:
To Do:
- Record Music: I’ve been toying with this for the past month or so, and I think I’m going to try to record two demos of material. I’ve got about 12 or so songs that I’d really like to put out there, 6 listenable to the general public, 6 listenable to people with bad taste in music (i.e. myself). The first 6 are under the working title of “A Forgotten Flight” and sort of fuse post-rock with some kind of folk. I’d call it post-folk but my friend Chad beat me to the chase, apparently.
- Unveil my super top-secret new TimKnapton.com: It’s been under the radar for months now. I’ve poured everything I could into sketchpads that will never see real sunshine. Everything designwise I’ve picked up in the past year is going to get applied, it’s gonna get a whole lot of new content (including my much-neglected portfolio), it’s going to tie seamlessly into numerous webapps, and it’s going to be killer. Just you wait. That’s all I can say. Get stoked, me.
- Photoblog enhancements: Nothing huge, but a lot of under-the-hood changes need to be made to my photoblogging platform. I’m also working on making it shinier and ajax-powered (by option of course in the administration). Also, I have about 3000 photos from last summer that I never sifted through. I’m sure there’s some good ones in there that I can put up as content too…
- Complete 3 movies: I got an idea for a movie that would be really easy to shoot. All I would need would be me and my tripod, a few friends to act, and time to edit. It’s that last one that I haven’t had in awhile now. The other two movies are longboarding ones, so I figure I need a skating friend at some point, but before even that I need to perfect some of my sweet moves. =P
- Get back into client work: I just want to design something fresh. Everything in my portfolio is from like 2006, and everything worthwhile I did after that doesn’t exactly belong to me, so I could use some fresh clients. If you need a site done, I might be nice and do it for free if you give me enough creative freedom =)
- Get in shape: For someone who skates every single day, I’ve got nothing to show for it except burly leg muscles haha. Maybe I’ll start doing crunches or something.
That’s about it. Those are my non-obligation obligations. Cheers to self-improvement.
Peace out, girl scout.
