Gots Me A New Layout – And Congrats Canucks!
Apr 22nd
Morning Kids!
As you can probably tell, I gots me a new layout for the Bloated Penguin. I just switched things over to the new Mystique template last night so I’ll be spending this weekend doing a complete overhaul of the look. I went with Mystique because it is very compatible with the latest updates from WordPress and it is actually endorsed by them. I’m taking this as a sign that this is a safe template to use with all of the updates, something the old layout suffered from when I decided to go rogue and play around with the CSS. I’m not More >
Yet Another WordPress Journey
Feb 4th
Next Monday will mark the kick-off of another project here at the exclusive computer nerd-labs of my work. Yes, alright – I could be exaggerating about the “exclusive computer nerd” stuff, but us introverts need to generate self importance some how right? Anyways, Monday we will be kicking off a brand new digital campaign that will be %100 WordPress generated.
I know what most of you are thinking, “Dude, WordPress is like so 2006!” well, to give you all some insight, WordPress is like a foreign language here and for us to even make the decision to use the system was a More >
Port Almost Done!
Aug 3rd
My adventures into WordPress and CSS are finally coming to fuition as my refreshed new portfolio is “almost,” complete. I only say “almost,” because this is one of those things that’ll never actually be finished. I’m at a stage where I’m simply inputting content; which for me, is really the home stretch. I’ve gone through multiple revisions and come up with something that I can live with. When working on personal projects such as this, you really do have to bite it and say, “screw it, it works.” Usually I’m an extreme perfectionist, but this is more of a situation More >
Iteration 1 Iteration 2 Iteration 3 Fail!
Jul 24th
So if you’ve been following my adventures into WordPress and the creation of my new portfolio then you probably already know the reason why I’m trying something different. Well, I spent a lot of last night trying to accomplish this and I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t stand my own decisions. It doesn’t take genius to figure out that one of the most repetative things someone can do is try and define themselves. Depending on the day, different things in this world represent different characteristics. For me, sometimes its a pen, other times its a keyboard, and so More >
New Port Coming Along
Jul 22nd
As I said last week, I’m finally giving my portfolio a bit of a refresh. After looking through some of the stuff that’s out there and figuring out how I want to position myself as a brand, I’ve decided to take the entire thing in a whole new direction. The first thing I did was decide that I was going to build the whole thing in WordPress. I blog a lot for a lot of different clients, so the interface is as easy as pecan pie. The problem was finding an appropriate template to frack with. Good thing I had More >
Working On A New Portfolio
Jul 17th
I have to be honest, my portfolio is sooooo 2008. I really appreciate the work the Normal Design Group did with it last year, but I think it’s high time for a little upgrade. Nothing too major, but I want to upgrade the freshness of it all and seeing as I’ve done a ton of work since the last time I updated, I’ve decided to rethink the whole idea. Couple that with the fact that the group over at One Night Site have agreed to help me make the transition to WordPress and I’ve decided to go ahead and start from scratch.

That’ll Do For Now
Jun 13th
Flipped out the template image from WordPress and uploaded one of my own. It’ll do for now, but I plan on changing it up later on I think. This is a small collection of toys I’ve collected over the years. Although I’m much older – my maturity level remains to be that of a 12 year old. From left to right the toys are as such:
Band-Aid version of Kozik’s Smoking Bunny – Got this while traveling Asia a few years back. I like it because he’s broken but he continues to do what he loves.
Behind the Kozik is a tiny version More >
New Theme
Mar 3rd
Notice anything different?
Yup, it’s a new theme to the Bloated Penguin. You can store this away in the “Who cares drawer,” of your brain if you want, but it’s pretty exciting for me.
I liked the old style, but 1 person (which makes up about 50% of my readership) said that they would like to be able to see more of the older posts.
I was also getting a bit tired of the green on black theme I had in here before. I call that color scheme Ninja-Kermit.
So onto the new and a few changes should be expected. I’m going to start More >
Say What?
