I just upgraded to the newest version of WordPress (v1.5 – which is incredible, by the way), and my old template files seem to have gone kaput. While I work on fixing them, enjoy this temporary black template for my site. Any ideas what that photograph is at the top? I have no clue. And I’m apparently not the only one who has had fun with the upgrade!

Update: It’s all fixed now! But, I think I’m getting the itch to do a redesign…

Happy 2005! To the right is a photo that was taken seconds after 2005 started in Times Square, New York. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) It was actually the 100th anniversary of the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebrations and nearly 750,000 people came to enjoy the fun, which was a bit shy of the two million in 2000. The celebration was originally started to commemorate the renaming of the square from ‘Longacre’ to ‘Times’ in 1904, in case you wanted a little tidbit to share at cocktail parties.

Random: I think Zach Braff (of Garden State/Scrubs fame) has the best New Year’s resolution list I’ve seen yet.

I’m working with a new piece of software, WordPress, to power my blog since I was tired of having to recode my home-grown blog software every time I wanted to do something new. The nerd in me is shedding a small tear as the hand coded blog I have used for almost five years will be laid to rest. *sniffle* You can still find all of the site links on the right hand side of this page, and every other page not related to this one will have the old look and feel until I figure out what to do about that. I finally have the WordPress stuff working within my old template.

I’m working with the new features, such as categories, open comments, and permanent blog links. Give ’em a try!
