In an (admittedly small) effort to make my site a little more broad I have worked little by little to tie in pieces other than the main posts to other “stuff” like my Flickr moblog, Yelp reviews, etc. Well I added another component just now: Event Countdown (click to zoom to it). It’s simple and doesn’t have much in it right now, but my plan is to add events coming up around the Metro Detroit area that people might find interesting. I might not be able to go to all of these myself, but the plan is to put up whatever I think might be cool, regardless if I’m going or not.

Edit: Also updated the archives page so that it actually resembles something useful now.

The last few weeks I have been getting really tired of the default-y theme. Luckily I happened across this theme which I actually liked. Most of the pre-built, freely available themes for WordPress that I can find I’m really not a fan of. I’ve been meaning to build my own, but honestly web design just doesn’t interest me quite as much as it used to. I’m more of a tweaker now. Other things that I’d rather spend my time on, I suppose.

Regardless, I’m pretty happy with how this looks for now. I’ll probably adjust a few things here and there, but I think it’s pretty snappy. Any thoughts?

Edit: Oh, one minor issue. It doesn’t display the tags associated with a post. I’ll be able to fix that pretty quickly later though. Fixed.

I found a nice audio player plugin for WP called - oddly enough - Audio Player. It looks exactly like what I wanted; more actually. So without further adieu here’s a test of it playing an old little experimental clip I did back when I was first learning Ableton Live 5 (I happened to have this uploaded already).

Edit: Seems to be working perfectly. Exactly what I was looking for!
