Josh Kim dot Org: A New Direction

I don’t know if you’ve visited the site in the last week or so (which is perfectly fine with me, I love feeds), but I’ve been experimenting with different themes, looking at different plug-ins, and learning about the Wordpress structure.

I’ve finally ended up with K2 for the theme. The less upkeep I have to do in between versions, the better, and K2 helps with a lot of the administration. Also, it comes with a lot of things built in, like a beautiful archive page system, as well as some ajax components. There are some flaws (like the ajax search sometimes doesn’t do anything), but I’m looking to fix those myself, and maybe even submit the patches.

So What Is This Blog About Now?

As time passes, I’ve realized that this blog needs to become a lot less personal, but at the same time not so professional. And so, the subtitle has changed to include “Web Development & Technology”. This covers pretty much everything I would talk about… from something frivolous (I’m almost to 5K groupies with Guitar Hero 3… So close) to something more important (my company is picking up steam, and I’m having a great time managing/developing).

I’m going to have to start retagging some things, as well as moving some posts here and there to streamline the experience. I’m well on my way to bringing some of my older posts, just to keep public because they were once public. It’s a nice historical backlog of how stupid I was, and it’ll keep me in check.

The personal stuff, well, I think they might make a comeback somewhere else. Just not here. I’ll post not short posts on the links of interest, but more thought-out articles.

Upcoming Post Topics

  • The Status of Status
  • FeedSt: The Death of a Project
  • Desktop vs Hybrid vs Web Applications
  • Prism: The Future of Applications?
  • MAMP + Whatever: Why Not Installable Web Applications?
  • Polling on the Internet

I hope to post on about half of these in the upcoming week. We’ll see…
