There’ll be some changes made.

Hey, it’s a new year! Time to start things up again here at danbruno.net.

• As usual, there’s a new theme. It’s become a tradition here that I ignore the website for a few weeks and then change the look of the site, as if that could fool anyone into thinking I’d been updating it. This theme is the lovely Mandigo, by Tom at onehertz. Not bad, eh?
• The Cool Mac stuff page was long overdue for an update. Since the last update in *cough* 2005, I’ve found a bunch of great new applications. I also found that some apps seemed cool when I first downloaded them, but didn’t stand the test of time. The new list has all of the good stuff without the cruft.
• I got rid of the tags. It was too time-consuming to get the tag database to any useful level of completion, and they weren’t particularly useful anyway. If you want to find something, you will find the search box perfectly servicable.
• I updated the About page. The attentive reader will notice that a) I’m now on a MacBook Pro instead of a PowerBook, and b) I’m “creating a portable recording studio of sorts.” By “creating a portable studio,” of course, I mean “learning how to use Logic Express.” So in the coming months, look for a new section of the site where I dump all of my homemade amateur demos on you!
• I’m selling ads (I know, I’m laughing too) in the sidebar through Project Wonderful, a new auction-based ad service from Ryan North. (Yes, that Ryan North.) Until the boxes fill up, you can actually “buy” an ad for free; actually, I fully expect the price to hover right around free for quite a while. So, you know, act now, or not!
• I have some guitar tabs I’ve been working on scattered throughout my hard drive, so hopefully I’ll start to fill out that anemic Tablature page soon as well.
