update

by Adam on June 18, 2008

This post (and the changes it refers to) was trumped by this one.


Changed theme, adjusting things… some stuff might look funny or be broken.

Update to the update:

Things are back up and running full swing(ish). Awaiting Inspiration is now using the Simplr theme by Scott it’s a beautifully simplistic, full featured theme that I feel works with Awaiting Inspiration very well. I have also implemented SlideShowPro for some posts, it’s a nice, easy to use and implement image gallery. I have also decided to limit the ads to to showing at the end of every post and only on posts that are longer than say a paragraph. Ads won’t show on the home page or in the middle of posts anymore. While this may not be a smart thing from a profit stand point, I don’t care… I haven’t made a dime from AdSense which makes one wonder why I keep running them but I guess I haven’t given up on the idea completely. I will also, when relevant (like in this post) link to Amazon for products. Clicking on those links and buying the product will result in Amazon paying me but like AdSense this has yet to happen, I don’t care and I’m not holding my breath… I just figure… why not?

Also, Awaiting Inspiration comments now support gravatars. If you don’t have a gravatar the system will generate a unique MonsterID for you; which is actually funner that gravatars.

In case your wondering the Tandy is handling the changes just fine.

Framing a t-shirt (on the cheap) REDUX

by Adam on June 15, 2008

t-shirt frame

In my post “Framing a t-shirt (on the cheap)” I used an acrylic box frame to frame a t-shirt. The acrylic frame worked well but admittedly it was a bit haphazard and the masking-tape backing (which held the t-shirt in) was starting to come off. So while perusing the local Michaels for something unrelated I came across some shadow boxes and thought that they might work better.

Introducing Steve the Jackalope

by Adam on June 6, 2008

A jackalope is a jackrabbit/antelope hybrid. Contrary to what you might hear in places with names that start with “hick” and end with “ville” the jackalope is not real animal.

This jackalope piggy bank (henceforth known as Steve) was acquired by a friend who traveled to such a place whose name starts with “hick” and ends with “ville.”

It seems that Steve shares my affection for Del Taco…
