New Dance Site Launched
October 3, 2008
Okay, time to reveal where I have been lately. Suzanne decided that the dance studio she and the kids go to needed a new and improved website. To be honest, they did. The previous one was fixed html and very, very slow due to incredibly large images (30 MB+) being show as thumbnails.
Anyways, she talked to the owner and “volunteered” me to work on a new website for her. I didn’t kick and scream very hard as they are fun to do. The site didn’t exactly come out the way I envisioned, but it did for the owner, which is the important part. I had a whole lot more subtle colors than what we ended up with. She wanted the more vibrant (ie bright) colors that are now on the site.
Anyways, I always appreciate feedback, so head on over to the Alma Dolores International Dance Centre new website and let me know what you think. There is still more work to be done and they are paying me a monthly fee for updates, so I have some new features planned too.
I hope to return to my normal posting now too…
Summer Olympics
August 15, 2008
Thus far, its been an exciting Summer Olympics! Of course, too much gymnastics for me, but the swimming and volleyball has been exciting. Sean and I have even enjoyed watching the badminton.
The track and field has started now too. While I don’t care too much for the “field” part, I do enjoy the sprint track races. The 100m final is tonight – looking forward to it.
This is really the first Olympics that the kids have really gotten into watching. They have seen events here and there in previous ones, but they have been riveted to the TV every night. And to be quite honest, the swimming events are the primary reason. They are definitely Michael Phelps fans – in fact, fans of the whole swim team. They are strongly rooting for the 8th Gold medal tomorrow.
Sean, despite having his man card revoked for it, has enjoyed watching the gymnastics events. Its kind of funny to watch him yell at the judges for low balling the American scores. He has been a big cheerleader for them. While I may not be, Suzanne and him are looking forward to watching the individual event competitions.
They have both decided that they like the Summer Olympics better than the Winter Olympics. I would tend to agree, but Suzanne, with her figure skating heritage, would likely disagree.
Oh oh, Dara Torres is going for the 50M freestyle – gotta run!
