Wow, I am all kinds of proud of myself for linking my Deviant Art gallery up to my blog via RSS. Sure it was just a matter of copying a funky looking url into a blogger template field but it worked and I can say that I finally did something with RSS! Something is better than nothing, right?
Since I took a new job three months ago that specifically revolves around web design, I've realized that a lot has changed with the world wide web since tech school. Blogs and wigets are big, programing languages have multiplied and more and more social networking sites are springing up like weeds. True, this didn't happen overnight, but it kinda feels like it did.
Have I really been out of the loop for that long? Did things really change overnight or was I that distracted?
At the new work place I've been thrown into maintaining a primarily php website. Never used php/MySQL until I took the job and I'm suprised at my ability to adapt. I'm brushing up on my Flash action scripting and learning about SEO management, all on my own. It's suprisingly interesting to me.
I kinda feel like I've been reunited with an old friend and we have a lot of catching up to do.

True that the wires still connect to the same place, but the connections themselves, the ways they connect, and everything else about the Internet has evolved and will continue to do so. Just when you think that there's something that can't be done or improved upon, someone always finds a way. Anything dealing with technology is going to find a way to change, and quickly. Even HTML has evolved into XHTML, with its own set of (stricter) rules. Now we even have HTML that where you can create your own tags (XML). Where does it end? It doesn't.
By the way, I love the toad in your header. I think you should work with that and make it your logo and trademark.
