New Layout & Design

Joel Carlo — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:24:30 +0000

This year has definitely been a turbulent one to say the least. I’ve been so caught up with so many personal life changes that there hasn’t been much time for creativity. Or maybe that’s just my excuse for being lazy… who knows? I don’t think there has ever been a point where I’ve felt so exhausted and uninspired… and yet I’m alright with it. It took a while to realize it but I definitely needed a break from a lot of things.

So today I organized the site a bit and give it a new face lift. This is due in part to the transition I’m making to a new host… well, at least for this site anyway. I’m also in the process of moving my other personal sites to the same centralized host which will make it easier for me to manage them. I’d like to say with confidence that there are new updates to come but I’d really just be lying to you. So for now I’ll just say… I like turtles.
