I’m currently re-evaluating the site, in terms of design & content. I’m doing this as an experiment in information design (based on some interesting data from Google Analytics), and as a way to mix things up a bit. If I start to write more often (which is still a goal), perhaps I’ll return to the old (blog-centered) layout. Until then, I’m going to play around with some different design approaches. Excuse some broken links and strange layout issues until then.

I’ve made a small flash experiment, and I’ve posted the source .fla file. I used to make these all the time when I was learning actionScript, but have since found more “practical” things to make. However, despite this lack of immediate use or purpose, little projects such as this are fulfilling; I never leave them thinking that I have wasted my time.

Flash offers the opportunity to combine two worlds that I’m very interested in: The programming world (logical, math, code) and the visual world (creativity, art, experience). My hope is that in posting (and making public) experiments like this, they will start to manifest a shape and purpose of their own.
