Acoustic Cafe: Gavin DeGraw and Sarah Bareilles

Pretty psyched about tomorrow afternoon: going to see my first 96.5 TIC Acoustic Cafe with Gavin DeGraw and Sarah Bareilles. I honestly don't really know this Bareilles gal, but I have heard her single. Gavin DeGraw, on the other hand, I know really well... So much so I can sing the songs from his first album. My ability to remember lyrics is terrible, so knowing his songs is saying something.

I'll be posting photos to Flickr at around 12:30p on Friday during the performance, so check them out here: link.

Close to adding my custom comments implementation. Stay tuned in the next few days...

Considering Mint for Analytics

I recently stumbled upon Mint (link) for an analytics service. For the past couple of years, I've used Google Analytics, which is free and convinient. But Mint seems to offer real-time stats, and has a decent library of plug-ins. Add that to Jonathan Snook's tweet about being able to view an iPhone optimized version of Mint, and I have to say I'm sold!

New Design

My goal was to have a new design, a fresh design, but also a design I knew I could finish. It's not that I don't finish my work, it's that I'm normally busy trying to finish work for other people that I never get back to my own site! And, to a degree, a web developer's personal website is a reflection of their potential and vision.

And so I went to work (for a very short period of time), and came up with this design you see before you. Not terribly intricate, very light. Simple, clean... Launching without comments, I'll add that ability soon; hopefully with Friendfeed-like animation and simplicity.
