A Bloy and his Blog

Today I finished a new design for the site that showcases my web design work, www.BloyDesigns.com.

I’ve been meaning to give that site an overhaul for a while now. The new version makes much better use of screen real estate, which was my goal to begin with. I’m pleased with how it turned out. Although I understand there currently is a display problem with a certain, outdated Microsoft browser for the Mac (which shall not be named). Hopefully I’ll have that fixed soon.

Oh and in case anyone’s interested, the panoramic picture at the top is Plum Lake in beautiful northern Wisconsin.

Update: February 9, 2007
As of today, the domain BloyDesigns.com no longer exists.
Information about my web development work can be found on my resume.

It’s funny how certain music can really fit the moment you are in. I had one of those experiences the other day, listening to a CD that was recommended to me by one of my favorite library patrons.

The Delays debut album, Faded Seaside Glamour is filled with excellent pop melodies and jangly guitars that sounded great to me while I was driving home on a beautiful summer evening. The music fit perfectly the movement of my truck, the warm breeze flowing through the windows and the gorgeous sunset I was driving towards.

Right now, we’re smack dab in the middle of Summerfest here in the Milwaukee area. Last night I was at an outstanding show where Burning Spear (a.k.a. Winston Rodney) and his band performed one of the best reggae concerts I’ve ever attended.
