Hence this new blog feature that you are currently reading on. I&#8217;ve been wanting to do some tweaks here and there for at least the last 6 months, but I just hadn&#8217;t found the time. Between BYU and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.matchmate.me\" target=\"_blank\">MatchMate<\/a>, sometimes I just want to\u00a0shove spiders down my throat due to the lack of time. But finally, at the cost of my wife&#8217;s boredom, this last friday and saturday I sat down and cranked it out.<\/p>\n<p>While throwing down the lines of code and pixel making in illustrator, I found a theme I really wanted to stick with&#8230;keeping it simple.\u00a0I really didn&#8217;t want much of anything happening. I just wanted it so dumb that I could even get what was going on. And I wanted it so cool that I wanted my friends to say &#8220;woah, that&#8217;s cool&#8221;. Not just internet friends, but my real friends, like people i&#8217;ve actually seen and touched (not like really touched, you know what i mean).<\/p>\n<p>I feel like alot of sites on the web are doing the same thing. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hipsterdesignshow.com\" target=\"_blank\">This site<\/a>\u00a0is awesome, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.360langstrasse.sf.tv\/page\/\">this one<\/a>\u00a0too. That&#8217;s the kind of design i&#8217;m talking about. I&#8217;ve always dreamed of creating a site that gets some attention and traffic.
