Ack, Only 23 Meters.

Posted by Matt Fowler in Everything on January 20, 2008

Well, I'm in one of those website moods again. You know? Those ones where you want to take your whole website and completely redo it for no apparent reason? Yeah, I know it sounds crazy but I really want a new feel of for my site. Honestly, I'm sick of the black/dark look of the page. I'm wanting a more bright, innovative design that actually brings people coming back just because the design is so clean and well thought out. Too bad I lack the motivation (and maybe) skill for that project.


Either way, I need to give the design a new name. It's called eXperience right now and to be honest that's old news. The new project is going to be dubbed: Innovation. It's a working progress, and the title is subject to change. But, for now its catchy… For me at least!

Also, I kind of like the idea of collaborating my blog into my site, instead of running off a third-party engine. No offense to Vox of course. I just really think it would be a good idea to have a nice little WordPress running right on mattfowler.biz.

Once more, it's only an idea, and I have to build up the will power not to be lazy and actually pull through with the project.  It's really sad, I can sit on this blog and rant for hours, but once I open Dreamweaver I'll die a little inside and probably get side tracked with T.V's mind warping rays.  Do you see what I mean? That whole line was nothing but a random rant. 

Oh, and don't forget that I'm an extremely lazy individual. Contrary to what you may believe, I am. The only reason I can focus long enough to write all of this is because I am very cozy at my computer. As I should be. I'm going to put a photo on here, I've never done it with Vox and I'm going to see how it turns out. I've seen other people who use the Vox service do it and it looks very nice.

Well, to comment on the image on the right…

He's not…


Oh, and please, for the love of everything sacred, don't question why I had this picture on my computer. I honestly don't even know why. Oh well, kind of cool I suppose.

Post? Why post?

Posted by Matt Fowler in Everything on December 27, 2007

Post of the Century
Not Really

Well, considering it has been ages (for me at least) since I posted anything on here…I figured I'd write a little something.

There is a lot that has happened since the last time I put something (October!!)
I'm going to skip to Christmas since it's the most recent and about the only thing I can fully rant about. Even though I can remember it, I guarantee I'll leave out something.

Anywho, my Christmas was small, and sort of depressing. The only thing that really brought joy to it was my wonderful girlfriend Alexis. She got me so much stuff too, over 40 things I believe. I got mostly money for Christmas, which hey- you can't go wrong with that! To the depressing part -> I didn't get to spend it with my family in Nebraska like I usually do. Honestly, we had never spent a Christmas with them until last year and I believe it was very spoiling. But, I was not going to miss Christmas with my baby (Alexis). Plus, I missed Christmas with my dad last year and I wasn't going to do that again.

I don't own Rock Band, yet, but I have got to play it. And, it's easily the funnest game I've played all year. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Guitar Hero 3, and the fact that they brought online play (which..I'm addicted to) was just amazing. Gives me more of a reason not to leave my house.  But, I have played it. And  — it rocks! The singing is so responsive and amazing that I love it. I actually like being the singer. The only drag is when I get a song that I don't like or never even heard and I have to just kind of mumble. OH well!

 I've also become aware that I love Queens of the Stone Age. End of story.

BAI!

Unfettered.us – finished (the design that is)

Posted by Matt Fowler in Everything on June 29, 2007

I have finally completely re-vamping Unfettered.us

I actually scrapped two design ideas I had before finally coming up with the one that is on there now.

Give it a look over and drop a comment on the Contact section.

http://www.unfettered.us
<– I found this image on Microsoft Office’s Clipart gallery. Good job microsoft. Good job. ( Click here )

Links may not work, so you might have to copy and paste them the old fashion way. Remember – I email my blog posts now. It’s much easier, and faster. It might work, but it not I’m too lazy to go edit and it put them in there…maybe I will later… Depends on what kind of mood I’m in.

Anyways.
Peace!
– Matt

Celebrating 3 years of Rants!

Posted by Matt Fowler in Everything on June 4, 2007

My blog (once Musings of a Technology Loving Teenager) now, The Rant of One, started out June of 2004, and is still ranting and kicking ass in 2007. It's very odd to look back at the archives and see some of the randomness I have posted.. Not to mention you might find some pages where I haven't updated the templates (or the server wouldn't let me – one of the two) and find some of the OLD designs for this blog.

Also, I know it's weird for me to just have posted something on this blog not even 30 minutes ago and be posting something again, but I just wanted to bring to attention of the people who actually read my posts that it's been going on for a very long time. 3 Years (to me) is a long time to keep an actual nice looking blog going.

Especially just a personal blog, not one that reviews or does anything special, but just a place for somebody like me to vent.

No, I'm not doing anything special, I just feel really good about myself… Mainly because I was actually able to keep my attention-span at ease long enough to keep a blog going.

I hope many more years are to come. I'd like to look back on this blog when I'm old and say "Yeah, I ranted."
