I began work on the redesign of my defunct website last night, and I must say that things are progressing well. After many false starts and dead ends, I’ve completed the design I plan to use. I trolled DevianArt quite a bit to help with design ideas, and they were incredibly helpful. If you’re interested, be sure to check out the design over on my DeviantArt page. Credit for the picture in my masthead goes to Paul Vlaar. It was truly the inspiration of the entire design.

In other news, my friend Liz and I are beginning to plan a trip to Japan, which has me incredibly excited. As many of my friends and readers might know, I’ve been wanting to visit Japan for several years now. The two of use aren’t leaving until the Spring of 2010, so I still have a little longer to wait. However, this means I’ll have plenty of time to get prepared. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated on any progress we make towards this trip.
