I have been thinking about an new design for some time now. Actually ever since I launched V2. Basically the V2 launch was more of a move to Wordpress rather than a well thought out re-design. I found myself rushing through the V2 design because I knew the move to Wordprees would be arduous. Thus the design suffered as I focused more on the back end.

The site now is functioning on the back end the way I want it, but does not look and feel how I want my site to look and feel. Thus redesign JC-V3 is born. I still tend to cling to the K.I.S.S. design method. I love grunge sites, but don’t think of myself as a grungy guy.

I have been wanting to write a post for some time now over CSS. I started to think about what I could write about that has not already been said. I mean there is already so much documentation, tutorials, and beautiful examples already. What more could I bring?

I have been creating video slide shows for years now. I used to build the entire slide show in Final Cut Pro and manually set the ken burns effect by hand. Over the years it is getting easier and easier to build high quality slide shows that look amazing with little effort.

I’ve got to say, living in an iPhone world is great. I have an awesome phone, an even better iPod, and web browsing in Safari is the best on any mobile phone. Everything I mentioned is the default on all iPhone’s. These services are great, but I really want a phone that can do it all, and do it well. There is so much power packed into this tiny device, and I want to use all of it to its full extent. Jailbreak, is the answer to unlocking this power.

I recently read an article from PS3 Fanboy stating the reasons PS3 is relevant again. I found this article very interesting since the format war is over. Is the PS3 relevant now? Below is PS3 Fanboy’s reasons as well as what I think.
